About

Contemporary Art Stavanger consists of an online art journal as well as a physical residency program for critics, writers and researchers. Through our work, we aim to contribute meaningful conversation relevant to the Stavanger region’s art scene, while at the same time connecting the content to a larger national and international discourse – we therefore publish in both Norwegian and English. In addition to reviews, essays, and interviews, we explore the expansive possibilities of CAS’ online platform and investigate different ways of working with writers, residencies, and the format of art writing and criticism. We at CAS are dedicated to presenting a wide range of perspectives, voices, and subject matter. Read more

Bjørn-Henrik Lybeck “Time and tide wait for no man”

September 23, 2016 @19:00 - September 25, 2016 @16:00 CEST Exhibition, Opening

About

(English version below)

Utstillingsperioden: 23.–25.09.2016
Vernissage: Fredag, 23.09.2016 kl 19.00
Åpent: Lørdag–Søndag 12:00–16:00

Utstillingstittelen “Time and tide wait for no man” er et ordtak med opphav i en anekdote om kong Knut den store. Ifølge historien beordret kong Knut tronen ned til kysten i påvente av tidevannet. Han ropte mot havet og kommanderte tidevannet til å stoppe før det traff hans kongelige kappe og føtter. Tidevannet stoppet naturligvis ikke, og etter møtet med naturkreftene brukte aldri kongen sin krone igjen.

Bjørn–Henrik Lybecks “Time and tide wait for no man” er en konstellasjon av skulpturelle objekter og fotografier som samlet er en refleksjon over tid og hvordan den innvirker på livet, ikke ulikt kong Knuts møte med tidevannet. Ved å ta i bruk fotografiske begreper som eksponering, negativ og avtrykk, eksperimenterer Lybeck med alternative måter å registrere tidens påvirkning i hverdagen. Han holder fast ved utvalgte gjenstander og forsøker å beskytte dem fra sin forgjengelige natur. Arbeidene som vises på Studio17 – et utvalg lunsjer, et stykke brent drivved og en solnedgang som går i loop – er alle forsøk på å gjøre begrepet tid mer forståelig.

Bjørn–Henrik Lybeck (f. 1985) er billedkunstner som for tiden bor og arbeider i Bergen. For mer informasjon, se: http://bjornhenriklybeck.com

Duration of the exhibition: 23.–25.09.2016
Opening: Friday, 23.09.2016, 19:00
Opening hours: Saturday–Sunday, 12:00–16:00

The exhibition title, “Time and tide wait for no man”, alludes to an anecdote about King Canute the Great. According to the story Canute ordered a seat to be placed for him on the sea-shore when a tide was coming in. Shouting at the sea he commanded the tide not to wet his royal feet or robe. Needless to say, the tide did not halt. After the incident, which attested that secular power is vain compared to supreme power, the king never wore his crown again.

Bjørn-­Henrik Lybeck’s “Time and tide wait for no man” is a constellation of sculptural objects and photographs that serve as a meditation over the passing and workings of time, which is like the sea that the mighty King Canute had no command over. Using photographic terms and methods, such as exposure, negative, and imprint, Lybeck experiments with recording everyday life. He aspires to protect and preserve selected objects from their ephemeral nature. The works shown at Studio17 – a selection of preserved lunches, a piece of half-burnt driftwood, and a looping sunset – are his way of making the hard to grasp concept of time smaller and more comprehensible.

Bjørn–Henrik Lybeck (b. 1985) is a visual artist who currently lives and works in Bergen. For a full bio and further information please visit: http://bjornhenriklybeck.com
