The Second Chapter - Kunsthall 3,14, 20.-28.8.20

Utdrag av lydverket - (5.30’)

Lydverket bringer oss rett inn i diskusjonen under workshop Long term Game i 2016, der tre fondsforvaltere fra Nordeas forvaltningsavdeling tenker høyt sammen om spørsmålet for kvelden; Hvorfor og hvordan er uendelig økonomisk vekst mulig? Forvalterne viste seg å være sterkt uenige, og deler sine synspunkt på hvordan dagens vekstrater skal fremskrives og hvilke problemer vi kan støte på, samtidig som de planlegger og tester ut hvordan de skal bygge forholdet mellom verdens samlede BNP idag vs i 2116.
Nysgjerrighet på den elastiske forestillingsevnen, kroppsarbeid med visualisering av størrelser og tallforhold i fysiske volumer, erkjennelse gjennom øyeblikkets handling og møtepunkter mellom absurde og meningsfulle utgjør kjernen i dette pågående prosjektet.
Varighet : 38 min loop

THE SECOND CHAPTER
20.-27. August 2020

Curated by Gitte Sætre

The Second Chapter derives from a Symposium at Kunsthall 3,14 in June earlier this year. Entitled ‘System Critic and Esthetics; how to represent the unrepresentable?’* During the event, a view spread among the participants, the notion that how we organize our financial marked is premature as long as we don’t work for a more just distribution of resources. Rethinking economy has just begun, and it is not an easy conversation nor operation. Kunsthall 3,14 made an attempt before the summer and now again with The Second Chapter exhibition.

When we talk about something, we most probably partake in a larger conversation crossing both time and space. Finance’s influence on art is one of them, a less discussed but nevertheless interesting is arts influence on finance. If you choose to study Economy at traditional business schools, what you learn is the prevailing economic system around the world. Little attention will be given alternative ways of organizing for a more just world. Taking into consideration how unevenly resources are distributed and how fragile the world’s economy is this is a bit chilling and surprising.

The artists invited are Benedict Seymour & Veronica Diesen, Arthur Hureau, Jannecke Heien, Dan Mihaltianu, Søren Thilo Funder, Åse Løvgren & Stine Gonsholt, Ingrid Berven.

Due to the pandemic the opening event lasted from 16:00 to 20:00 to enable 3,14 to maintain 1m social distancing, and we complied with the authorities requirement to limit the risk of spreding the corona virus.


 

Excerpt from the sound piece - (in Norwegian)(5.30’)

The piece features a discussion in which three financial fund managers contemplate one question: Why and how can economic growth continue endlessly?
It takes the form of a sound recording from a visualization workshop in Kunsthall 3,14 in 2016 - in the former old vault of the Bank of Norway, where the participants think aloud with their colleagues, sharing their strongly differing views on the future for the world economy - 100 years ahead.
Curiosity towards the elasticity of the human ability to envision, visualization of scale and numerical relations in physical volumes, acknowledgment through a moment’s action, and the intersection between elements both meaningful and absurd make up the core of this ongoing project.
