”The Telling Orchestra”
Kunstnernes Hus is happy to announce the exhibition of two large scale installation works by Verdensteatret.
Between 26th Oct. – 2nd Dec. 2007 Verdensteatret’s two latest installation works are presented at Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo, for the first time.
“The Telling Orchestra”.
The electromechanic object theatre machinery The Telling Orchestra will be shown in one of the two exhibition halls on the second floor. It is a “live” installation that can be perceived in very many ways: As a polyphonic instrument, a moving sculpture, a machine with the ability to transform the whole room within a second; an “animation- machine” that can play more or less anything. It can produce the sound of an orchestra, create extensive visual tales, mechanical ballet, mechanical theatre, mirror- and shadow play. It can produce pure abstractions as well as concrete literary stories, psychological relations among motorized fragments of bones. Religious visions from the roadside, shipwrecks and machine romantics, … never ending.
This installation will further be presented as a part of China International New Media Arts Exhibition 2008 in Beijing at the National Art Museum of China.
New installation based on “louder”
.
...from the new installation..
In the other exhibition space a brand-new installation will be shown. Until the opening, the work will be in progress. This is also an intermedia “live” installation. The starting point is also here Verdensteatret’s journey on the Mekong river and through Vietnam last winter. Further it is a developement of parts from the performance louder. Again it brings you into a universe of flotsam and different driftwood material that is constantly in motion and might change direction several times during the exhibition period. What it will become in the end we do not know before the doors close on the 2 December.
