Om presentasjonen: Kunstnerisk forskning skal både befeste og utfordre kjent kunnskap. Mine byggeprosjekt med ulike strategier for å bygge i stor skala i leire har satt meg på store prøvelser. Hvordan kan man snu katastrofale tekniske feil, til kunstverk man kan akseptere, hvordan takle et faglig nederlag og snu det til lærerike erfaringer. Dette er problemstillinger dette KUF-prosjektet har måttet løse.
Opening of Trine Wester’s exhibition Digital Twin in the Reception Gallery. (Opening hours Wednesday-Thursday: Wednesday 13-19, Thursday 13-14, Thursday 14-16: Workshop)

About the exhibition: Work created after the interviews retains the poetic aspect by using branches found in the vicinity of the interviews, branches with their own personality. Anatomical dissections lead to new confronting interpretations and use of materials. Opening hours Wednesday-Friday: 16-19.
