Artists involved

in working with someone who is involved in several cultural productions.
His main activity has been as journalist and critic of the Norwegian contemporary
scene, but has also produced shows.
Alex Villar: We have worked with Alex, New York based artist whose
work deals with the relationship between the body and architectural space,
in both interviews and collaborative exhibition projects. This time, we
invited him to write a brief on our participation in the biennale for
the catalogue. The text isbased on a conversation between, Arve Rød,
Villar and the Danger Musuem that is developing during the two month period
of the exhibition. This can be obtained at downloadable
diary.
