Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts

We are reopening our studios and spaces for short term project residencies at BEK. If you are working on an art project involving sound, moving image or electronics you are welcome to apply for a residency in one of our studios for a period of 2-4 weeks. The residencies are open to professional artists and we prioritise projects that are experimental in their use of technology, or interrogate its relationship to art and society. We offer our facilities and equipment, and expect artists to work independently, however Studio Residents are also able to apply for advice sessions with our in-house experts to help with specific project needs.

In 2009, when Lars Ove Toft joined the BEK family as the new general manager, it might have been like arriving on the set of The Addams Family meets Home Alone. At BEK, layers upon layers of electronic art had accumulated in the corridors and storage rooms that had to be excavated and sorted. The first major purchase was a Dymo LetraTag which in the next few years would be a key tool for the milieu. Now, as Lars Ove moves on, he leaves a brand new BEK with newly renovated studios and premises and a grateful staff who are extremely well equipped for whatever may come. As members of Lars Ove’s team, we have been able to develop ourselves as both artists and professionals and have been part of a decade marked by major changes and an incredible amount of exciting art!
