Dybt i jordens mavesæk. I de labyrintiske tunneller, som snor sig endeløse, i sindrige rodsystemer, dér hvor ingenting gror, spøger de udøde sten. Forvirrede og pinte eksistenser, der hjemsøger den muld, planter vokser op af.

Mødet med stenene, med sandkornene, med støvpartiklerne, er et møde med en fremmed ikke-menneskelig tidsforståelse. En afgrundsdyb tid. Ufattelig for os. Vores historie skrives, som at skrive i vand, men stenene og jordkornene består, hele vejen til slutningen.

Hvordan vi forstår og leser naturen står helt sentralt i Kim Laybourns kunstnergjerning. Det handler om å utfordre de dikotomiske skillene som har latt seg konstruere og forsterke gjennom vitenskapelige, økonomiske og kulturelle instanser, kanskje først og fremst i vestens modernistisk-opplysende ånd. Denne pågående undersøkelsen har manifestert seg gjennom en rekke prosjekter, senest i filmen The Animate Landscape (2024) hvor betrakteren kan følge en rekke besjelede planter i ulike skog og slettelandskap.

The Realm of Things er en direkte forsettelse av The Animate Landscape. Her vendes blikket videre til mineralriket. I film, skulptur og installasjon, møter publikum en rekke steiner, fossiler og steinartefakter, som på ulike vis utfordrer vår idé om disse gjenstandene som døde. Hvor absolutt er egentlig forholdet med liv og død, mellom mennesker og landskap? Og, hvordan påvirker vår idé om det som er levende, hva vi tillegger verdi? Med kunstneriske virkemiddel, inviterer Laybourn publikum inn i en ny og mer fantastisk verdensforståelse, hvor mennesket desentraliseres til fordel for en mer opphøyd form for sameksistens med omgivelsene.

The Realm of Things åpner på BO, i kveld, 6. august, fra kl 18:00 💎 by @unagjerde

The Tehran Summit, in collaboration with BO – The Association of Visual Artists Oslo, announces the fifth edition of the summit: Of the City of Na-Koja-Abad.

Fusing Calvino’s Invisible Cities with the illuminationist philosophy of Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi, this edition turns toward nationhood not as territory, but as an imaginal geography — a luminous “nowhere” where myth, exile, fiction, and political reality converge.

From May 18–24, artists, theorists, and philosophers gather across languages, geographies, and temporalities to speculate on unfinished worlds and forms of belonging beyond borders.

Speakers include:
@choi.binna
@bourriaudnicolas
@slavsandtatars
#Franco_Bifo_Berardi
#Avery_Gordon
@infinityingeneral
#Terry_Smith

Followed by a roundtable with @perpetuummobilepm on May 25.

Curated by Erfan Ghiasi and Una Mathiesen Gjerde.

Supported by Fritt Ord Foundation and Arts Council Norway.

Registration for digital attendance is now open. Oslo audiences are also invited to join the live screenings at BO’s loft.

This Thursday 26 March, 18:00, welcome to Index for a one-night artistic program of screenings arranged by Krisztián Gábor Török and Una Mathiesen Gjerde, curators of “Breaking the Course of the European Boomerang”.

The program features screenings of “The Flora: Hedging (a.k.a. hedge heist)” by Eline Benjaminsen and Dayna Casey, 2023 (15 min); “Karaoke” by Nomeda and Gediminas Urbonas, 2001 (4 min); and “A State in a State” by Tekla Aslanishvili, 2022 (47 min). The screenings will be complemented by a performative serving, organized by Jens Masimov.

Departing from Aimé Césaire’s imperial boomerang, “Breaking the Course of the European Boomerang” explores the state of Europe today. As an adaptive curatorial framework grounded in artistic practice, the project seeks to challenge the socio-economic disparities entrenched in contemporary Europe, discussions surrounding the rise of neo-fascism, and foster critical dialogue on labor, migration, resource distribution, and global power dynamics. Countries, groups, and individuals have been isolated, resulting in a hyperpolitical state of polarization. The rise in loneliness, which fuels extremism, can only be solved through coming together, and reconstructing long-lasting relationships. But where to start?

Warmly welcome!

For more information about the artists, see Index website.

This event is part of the program connected to the exhibition Harun Farocki: VIDEOGRAMME EINER REVOLUTION.

BO er tilbake etter årets sommerferie, og på torsdag 6. august åpnet utstillingen The Realm of Things av Kim Laybourn 🪨

Hvordan vi forstår og leser naturen står helt sentralt i Laybourns kunstnergjerning. Det er en pågående undersøkelse som har manifestert seg gjennom flere prosjekter, senest i filmen The Animate Landscape (2024) hvor bevegende planter i ulike skog- og slettelandskap virker til å være styrt av en egen vilje. I The Realm of Things er dette fokuset nå rettet mot mineralriket - steiner og fossiler - som på BO vises gjennom arbeid med skulptur og film. Vi anbefaler å starte besøket i det innerste rommet, der steiner, fossiler og steinalderartefakter får liv gjennom bevegelse og lyd i Laybourns nye 3D-animerte videoverk (varighet 10:35 min).

The Realm of Things står på BO fram til den 13. september, og er åpen onsdag til søndag, 12:00 - 16:00. Velkommen!
