Description

 

JOURNIES exhibition in the Library of Drammen, official opening with concert 22nd of September. The exhibition remains open until 29th of September.

Several established and non-establiched artists have been invited to a dialogue about the theme Journies.

We all experience different kinds of journeys; internal journeys, journey to a foreign country, a journey that changes one’s residence, one’s future. Today there are many who experience a journey in the form of escape. And every journey leave its traces.

Artistically speaking, this is a topic that affects everyone and we want to open up, creating dialogue and opportunities for everyone to participate. The works of this exhibition has been assessed on the basis of artistic quality, not formal education.

We have invited three established artists as guest exhibitors, Ronny Bank, Stojan Minev and Sophie Rohdin. All three have very different artistic expressions, yet each on his show working theme. The artists also have extensive experience evaluating the work and ensures that the exhibition gets a varied but beautiful frame.

Students exhibition
In addition, we have invited students of arts in Drammen to contribute to the exhibition. They have had an exciting mission where they had to travel back in time to study the symbol and color usage within the major world religions Hinduism, Christianity and Islam. Out of inspiration from one of the religions should they compose their own artwork and use techniques silkscreen printing, screen printing and mono printing. An exciting journey for both teachers and students, where they also learned and reflect on what they have done and why. The result is colorful fabrics on 50cmX80cm on display during the exhibition.

 

Musical performance from Amazon Ensemble.

The exhibition will remain until 29th of September.
