Artistic borderology

25 June 2007, Harstad, Festspillene i Nord-Norge

STAFFAN MOSSENMARK (Gothenburg, Sweden), who stood behind the opening ceremony of the festival, presents his earlier project involving everyday sounds, including concerts featuring 100 Harley Davisons and mobile telephones.

The Russian artists´ group BLUE NOSES (Moscow, Russia), who are currently exhibiting their cardboard box videos in Galleri Nord-Norge, shows and comments on their videos – burlesque and brutally funny short gags. They make fun of everything, from elitist tendencies in art and the mass media to today’s politicians. They also tell about their encounter with Harstad during their on-site photo project.

The program concludes with contemporary dance in the café, featuring the renowned Barents dancer NIKOLAI SCHETNEV (Arkhangelsk, Russia).
