Nordic Sessions IV, Bergen (NO), May 2022
performance protocols Nordic Sessions # 4: Bergen (NO) https://www.facebook.com/performanceprotocols
This edition will be in collaboration with Performance Art Bergen and be a PAB Lokal event which will take place at Skomakerdiket, Fløyen, in Bergen (NO) with a focus on natural/cultural environments.
This theme explores what nature-culture relations mean in an environmental context, and here specifically in the context of the location - having nature nearby though shaped by its cultural context and infrastructures for city-dwellers and tourists.
For this event, we have invited two members of PAB to create and perform instruction-based performances that deal with the environment in relation to Bergen's positioning with nature and culture colliding, how they affect each other.
These two artists are: Hans Christian van Nijkerk (NO) and Ingeborg Blom Andersskog (NO/SE).
performance protocols will also include remote scores from two Nordic artists invited by the curator, which will be actions offered for local interpretation.
These two artists are: Elina Vainio (FI) and Maja Gade (DK)
