Akademirommet: Alan Armstrong

Akademirommet: Alan Armstrong

Akademirommet invites you to "One that stops the flow of rivers" with Oslo-based artist Alan Armstrong Saturday May 14th at Kunstnernes Hus.

Dear Mokèlé
I’m of the belief that at worst your actions warrant a reply of sorts. Whilst at
best we deserve an explanation behind your actions that night.
I willfully wait for your reply.
Respectfully yours,
Homer.

In 1919 American botanist Dr. Homer L. Shantz joined a 32-man expedition in Africa from 1919-20, funded by the Smithsonian Institute. The objective of the expedition was to document and secure plant and animal specimens. Five months into the expedition whilst travelling on a train through a flooded area, the group encountered noise and tracks along the riverbank that ‘had no resemblance with any known animal’. Whilst travelling through the flooded terrain the locomotive suddenly derailed causing the death of five members of the expedition and a number of further casualties throughout the group.

One that stops the flow of rivers looks to explore the potential for a space between an event grounded in historical fact and a narrative rooted in tales of mythology and folklore.

Saturday 1-6pm
