HØVIKODDEN LIVE 2009

HØVIKODDEN LIVE 2009: To be Heard is to be Seen will be an investigation into the power of the voice as a performative element in music and as a visual component of pictorial art. The exhibition seeks to integrate music, performance and visual arts by means of a number of events of limited duration, such as audiocinema, concerts and performance art in the exhibition room, in addition to static works of art. In so doing, it aims to shed light on the function of the concept "live" in the art institution of today.
