–P a l m e r a– and Eremitten conversation will be gravitating around palm trees, hermit crabs, food, sculpture, people, use, nature, motion and other ideas regarding their upcoming project KLOA, happening at –P a l m e r a– on Saturday the 10th of March. (event info here: https://www.facebook.com/events/420968965001683/)

Eremitten is Anders Smebye and Anders Dahl Monsen's collaborative project that makes use of material processes that are activated and develop over time - akin to a salami that is fermented, hung, matured and finally edible. Eremitten takes its name from the hermit crab which are missing a hard exterior and constantly seeking shelter in empty houses.

 This nomadic nature and conceptual house-swapping, leads their projects towards a consideration of flexible, functional solutions aimed at the most central of practices in our society; the meal. With this as a starting point, they explore artistic-culinary gray areas where sculpture is food, food is craftsmanship, craftsmanship is politics, politics are usership, usership is design, design is people, people are sculpture.

– P a l m e r a – is a stem born in Sandviken from the former FELT galleri (e.2015).

Palm trees grow in a variety of environments. Diverse species can be found throughout the world, in deserts, rainforests, tropical lands and in Bergen, Norway.  Used in landscaping, palms exhibit a vast and stupendous diversity in their large leaves, providing habitats for many unique art forms and growing in a bunch all along.

Palmera’s sprouts are kindly supported by Bergen Kommune, artists, friends, fellow spaces and believers.
