Kim Hankyul: The Tempest
9 – 23 October
Exhibition, 1st floor Østre
Entrance 40,-, free with concert ticket for the Ekko Festival.
The exhibition is presented in collaboration with BEK.
In The Tempest, the soundscape of natural turmoil will be cinematically realized through the sequential reflex of raw material. The overwhelming power of nature will be sonically depicted in continuous variations, by the sound made out of minimal motion of machineries.
Kim Hankyul is an artist living and working in Bergen. Graduated with BA in Aesthetics from Seoul National University and MFA from The Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design (KMD), University of Bergen. Hankyul’s work mainly shows the incompleteness of perception by putting the discordance to the fore between visual surroundings and sonic phenomena. Scales and materials of work have been varied from ready-made object installation to large kinetic architecture. Recent works were shown in Atelier Nord (2020), Gyldenpris Kunsthall (2020), Bergen Kunsthall (2019), Landmark (2019) and Galleri Slakt (2019).

Refract / Recurse is an audiovisual installation by Tijs Ham and Birk Nygaard. The project combines scattered laser projection and electronics, consisting of feedbacking analog mixers. Together they generate musical landscapes and shimmering lights. The laser beams are refracted, lighting up the space in a hypnotizing pulse while the music slowly builds up to an all encompassing sonic wave. The project has previously only been presented live, but will be transformed into an exhibition format for Ekko Festival.
