FearTV episode 13 - "MOAN - by 23 artists" 31st of march, 2017

Franky navigates through the collective exhibition "MOAN" on the opening day that took place the 31st of march, 2017 (another one for the archives);

MOAN, a typically singular expression of passion or boredom, becomes something else when shared by a group. In this year's Medium & Material Based Art and Art and Public Space MA1 exhibition, the voices of 23 artists rise from their unique practices to chorus together. It is a culminating review of a year of experiments and research, rare spheres of development, by a class collective that engages with play as well as democracy.

 PARTICIPATING ARTISTS:

Lucia Cristerna Aragón / Ida Olesdatter Barland / Jessica Brouder / Annie Chen / Helene Duckert / Victoria Duffee / Miriam Colombine / Lissette Escobar / Rodrigo Ghattas / Nicolas William Hughes / Aleksander Jæger / Joanna Knight / Martin Kolsrud / Kjetil Kristensen / Sisse Lee / Marthe Minde / Margrethe Pettersen / Atli Graff Pètursson / Hege Pålsrud / Yichun Tang / Dana Tomečková / Helle Høeg Voldstad / Allyce Wood

FearTV episode 12 - "Sensation, Sensation" 23rd march, 2017

Galleri Seilduken, 4th floor. (KhiO):

Franky enters the exhibition “Sensation, Sensation” by Phoebe-Lin Elnan, this time inside Oslo`s Acadmy of the Arts aka KhiO. Notice! Take off your shoes before entering the 4th floor of Galleri Seilduken. A space where young emerging artist exhibit their work, it has a cozy vibe to it yet spatial, as he encounters a gathering of people where the floor of the space is activated resembling some kind of a pool…or grid…?

1. Pic, software vs. real life. 2. The deal was to embroadery these babies on black baseball caps…But that special thing you put the cap on was lacking an important screw that was broken. Anti-climax, was really excited 😢 #studentsgoingawall
