Academy Lectures: Kristian Øverland Dahl og Steinar Haga Kristensen

Kunsten å regjeres

Academy Lectures har gleden av å invitere deg til en samtale mellom kunstnere Steinar Haga Kristensen og Kristian Øverland Dahl.

Teknikaliteten og prinsippets viktighet i møte med bildet - fruktbare handlingsrom i møte med malerens nyttige idioti stilt overfor tvilens språklige forfengelighet og omveltningens overdrivelser.

Under samtalen vil kunstnerne spille ut sin fascinasjon for maleriets iboende urenhet - konflikten mellom bilde og representasjon, samt hestens strålende anatomi. Steinar er uttalt skeptisk til tvil, mens Kristian er dypt engasjert i ansiktets endeløse uutgrunnelighet, begge forsøker de å håndtere det faktum at de elsker mennesker.

Samtalen vil foregå på norsk.
