Last week to enjoy the exhibition a Room of My Own by Ine Harrang !
Stine Bidstrup and Jeffrey Sarmiento are occupying S12 - in their capacity as Artists in Residence. 60 years old weatherbeaten glass is being used, molds of different sizes and shapes are made, even stones are being blown into, wax, maps and more all over the place – welcome to S12 to follow the process ! 
Only 10 days left of a very active February.
Stine Bidstrup has been in the work-shop since February 4th and Jeffrey Sarmiento will join the team from the 18th, both of them as Artists in Residence.
Ine Harrang is still showing her work in the Gallery, to the pleasure of both kids and grownups. ”Where does that sound come from?” “Can I take one of them with me please”?
Kids and youngsters have filled the project room the first 2 weeks, working with glass in all its forms.

In the windows of S12 you can see the work WHITE OUT by Jeremy Welsh initially made for the exhibition “Dream vs. Reality” at Gallery F15, Jeløy, in 2002 and has since been included in several exhibitions, including “Where Am I Now” at the Museum for Contemporary Art in Oslo (2004).
In the catalogue for the exhibition, Andrea Krognes writes: “the video shows the reflecting glass and mirrored surfaces of New York’s mid-town district. We see people moving in front of, between, or behind these dazzling architectonic shells. The human figures lose something of their defining contours and melt and multiply into psychedelic ornaments. It is as if they were losing their bodily integration and slowly melting away. This fragmentation, distortion, multiplication, and disarrangement of people and space negates the idea of bounded or spatial anchored identity. These pictures radiate the power of the drifting and impenetrably flat and glossy images of our society of spectacle, in which no area of experience remains untouched by the capitalist process of commodification, the accelerated production and consumption of gadgets, entertainment and lifestyles.”
Jeremy Welsh is a visual artist working in a range of different media like video, sound performance, photography and installations. He is a professor and currently the Dean of Department of Fine Art at Bergen Academy of Art and Design.

The first exhibition in 2013. A Room Of My Own… Because I have made it up, doesn’t mean it is not true … by Ine Harrang will open on February 1st
