Kristian Skylstad (born in Oslo, Norway 1982) has been working as a photographer, gallerist, curator, fiction writer, art critic and videoartist and is dealing with an ongoing conceptual art practice that is mostly connected to poetry, which lately has been built down to give more time for his documentaries. The last three years he’s been working on the 97 min long documentary Violence of Silence, which is made in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, and is dealing with the ongoing great depression. One year ago he started the artist run gallery NoPlace (Oslo) together with Stian Gabrielsen, Petter Buhagen and Karen Nikgol. His work is mimicking a strongly subjective approach, but this is just a method for getting attention towards an extensive output of the collective research, aesthetics and political standpoints of his own generation.

Through a series of investigations Terje is looking into the omnicolors field of his artist identity in general and the self protrait in particular. Using an impulsive and roaming (situationist) strategy, Terje searches (intellectual) confrontation with a very many different artistic expressions and particularly that of the perfomative act. i.e the interaction he partly creates and partly within the social and professional sphere of the artworld where he works. The perfomativeness is also applied to the actual studio work, in the sense that he is looking for an expression created through skilless and accidental movement on paper; occurring through typewriter, wet brushes or by writing a song. Rarely he get’s the possibility to outline any linear or consistent presentation of his work for applications. The vast amount of material (work) Terje generates through this way of working, he collects and archives to bring out for assembly on shows. For the same reasons, it’s hard to tell what exactly it is he will be doing in LA, but keep on roaming impulsively through this fantastic city. Engaging himself in it. Continuing his search Perhaps buy a car. Go to Mountain School of Arts, talk to colleagues, get involved.

Born in Kilkenny, Ireland, Nevan Lahart’s confrontational, wry work compels us to ask questions of ourselves and of the society in which we live. Lahart has strong opinions on almost every issue, a fact that is reflected in his multidimensional work and in his astute, humorous constructions. Lahart has exhibited at Solus Nua, Washington DC (2010), the RHA Gallery (2010), the Tucson Museum of Art, Arizona (2009), and the Irish Museum of Modern Art (2005).
