The two curators did an offspace show in 2004 called Was ist in meiner Wohnung wenn ich nicht da bin?, I think that is the only show from belin not being in a gallery or an institution that got a critic's pick at artforum.com (you have to registrer to read it).
At the opening was also Reto Pulfer. He used to hang out a lot in berlin some odd two years ago before moving to paris and then new york. And now he's back. Some of his work are to be seen at the artnews.info site and one can download one of his noisy tracks called Glue at Internet Archive.
He turned out to be a fan of Nurse With Wound and we talked about the project they did for artistic interruptions last year in Lofoten.
It was a sort of strange thing, because the local/regional radio, that usually is sort of mainstream was for a time being overtaken by strange sounds and samplings like the ones one can listen to at brainwas radio. A nice project I had to admit in the midle of a mediocre biennale (www.liaf.no), and the rest of the large format or documentary projects that was realised at that time in nordland...

( 3 / 1683 )it is such a relief to read MAN, and I am very glad every time he touches upon the very delicate subject of Artforum.com and their sloppy editorial work.
here is another take on the subject.
I think the reason is that the art world does not have the same look upon conflic of interest that the rest of the publishing world has. We had an incident here in norway as well.
Two magazines, one subject, same writer, almost identical texts. And this happened twice. This without talking about this to any of the editors. It is not the same, but still interesting and on the same line.

( 3 / 1581 )During the project Artistic Interruptions, Art in Nordland has produced 18 new projects, some of them moving into documentary. Several of them is stirring quite some debates either internaly in the municipality where they are done others by the artists themself
(one project is defined as a failure by the artist and one artist closed her project). The one most debated is the project by the Norse duo Charlotte Thiis Evensen and Lisa Karlsson and their project in Nyksund. The unusual situation at hand is that the producer of the documentary film (art in nordland) would like the film stopped from being shown.
One can follow the debate on the norwegian version of th website only.

( 2.9 / 1663 )I am in Bodø - the interview was on friday last, I was the last of three to be interviewed. On saturday the project opened a new sculpture by the Berlin based dane Jeppe Hein. Another interactive sculpture by him. I was thinking that he might need a break/pause from his flipping cubes and moving benches or what ever these benches do. And also I was sort of curious why doing a rain sculpure in a city that has so much bad weather during a year - why not a "your private sun" or something on those lines (although, sun bathing is not healty I guess). But seeing the sculpture at the opening and the usage I was much more convinced. First of all, the inhabitans of Bodø havent seen as many projects by Hein as I have (most of them have probably seen none), and it is interesting, it has an aura of intention - it is interesting. I ended up trying my private rain.
