Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts

Augmented spatiality is a public sound art project for the suburb of Hökarängen in Stockholm in which the artworks, performances and other comprised events are integrated into the social and spatial processes taking place in the public sphere. It is curated by María Andueza, and two artists from Bergen participate. Trond Lossius will be doing a temporary sound installation at the metro station in Hökarängen, while Cecilia Jonsson will be making use of window shops in Hökarängsplan.

Ellen Røed will show the result of her Norwegian Artistic Research Fellowship Programme with the exhibition Skyvelære at Galleri 3,14 in Bergen. BEK has supported the project with project space, studio facilities, and with technical assistance for the rigging of the exhibition. The opening is on Thursday 13th June at 19.00

The object becomes the plane, the light will be given to the darkness, the silence reflects sound.
Overgangen, is an exploration of the distance between black and white, between light and darkness. We close ourselves in, in one of Bergen’s historic chambers and drape the windows.

BEK, the Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts, would like to invite local artists to send in a proposal for the commision of a video/artwork, to be produced at BEK and subsequently screened at SCREEN CITY Festival, Stavanger, 25 Oct – 5 Nov 2013. The proposal should be for the production of a new video/artwork, its vital that the work should be presented in public space.
