Marie Kølbæk Iversen: Star Messenger

Marie Kølbæk Iversen: Star Messenger

Welcome to a work-in-progress videoscreening as part of the artists research fellowship project at the Academy of Fine Art. The work suggests a collapse of scientific vision with the spiritual/mythological visionary, that may challenge habitual world-views.

Venue: Oslo National Academy of the Arts, Fossveien 24, Library Video-room.

Star Messenger
Tuesday 17 April, 13:00: Marie Kølbæk Iversen is introducing the work

Work-in-progress; HD single-channel animated video loop; 11’53’’.

Expanding the artist’s research exploring the transformative potentialities of fright encountered through traumatic and shamanist processes, Star Messenger proposes a softening of the historical western divide between the rational and the irrational, the material and the magical.

In 1610 Galileo Galilei published his accounts of discovering four of Jupiter’s moons. He titled the publication “Siderius Nuncius” – star messenger – thus naming the book after Io, the innermost of the moons. Over the course of two months Io had visually – slowly, but consistently – conveyed her message to him: That she is orbiting Jupiter. That the Earth is not the centre of the Universe.

Marie Kølbæk Iversen attributes the English translation of the title of Galileo’s opus magnum to her dreamy video work Star Messenger, whereby she questions what we know and how we know it, and suggests a collapse of scientific vision with the spiritual/mythological visionary: Both draw on sightings obtained through extraordinary set-ups that may challenge habitual world-views.

Star Messenger is a work-in-progress produced in extension of Kølbæk Iversen’s artistic research at Oslo National Academy of the Arts and Aarhus University. It is a log of dissociative visions obtained by labouring women and will evolve during the years to come. Iterations of the work have previously been shown at PS/Y and LUX (London, GB, 2017) and Kunsthall Oslo (NO, 2018).
