She: i just had a cry about women and then bathed in the fjord
He: what happened with you today?
This exhibition combines the works of Samuel Brzeski and Laurie Lax who are both treating text as material.
They have been discussing verticality versus horizontality, intimacy and aggression.
The artists have reconfigured two texts: Sam Riviere’s 81 Austerities and Maggie Nelson’s Bluets respectively,
through their own voices to form a collaborative voice swarm. In addition, Laurie has produced a text drawing at Joy Forum inspired by artist Ithell Colquhoun and water.
Samuel has written a text presented as a stack of posters that can be taken away, which have also been fly posted in and around Bergen City.
On Thursday 16th the exhibition opening hours will be extended to 20.00 to coincide the with opening of Erin Sexton's exhibition 'Jump Point' upstairs in Rom 61.
