About

CAS 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

Exhibition “OQALUGIAAT”, Sigbjørn Bratlie

About

Exhibition “OQALUGIAAT”, Sigbjørn Bratlie

Studio K invites to a solo exhibition by Sigbjørn Bratlie. The exhibition presents six video works which all revolve around the theme of language, – or more specifically,– foreign languages. As performance projects the films are the end result of a process whereby the artist first spends around one year teaching himself a (more or less useful) foreign language, and subsequently creates an art project in which he, – in a specific setting, – communicates with someone in this language.Bratlie’s artworks have a conceptual, analytical and quite often humorous feel to them. There is also a hermeneutic approach to contemporary visual culture at the basis of these works: Often, they are created in an attempt to create order and linguistic meaning in various cultural phenomena. Many of his projects deal with situations where the access to meaning and mutual understanding is severely hampered due to lack of vocabulary, misunderstandings, bad grammar or bad pronunciation.

The videos in the exhibition are created in the following languages: Afrikaans, Greek, Irish Gaelic, Latin, Greenlandic and Polish.

« I suppose I could perhaps have overlooked his shady character »
(Helmer, act 2, scene 3)
A 20-minute performance at the opening will give a crash course in Greenlandic grammar and morphology, based in ‘A Doll’s House’ by Henrik Ibsen.

Sigbjørn Bratlie (b. 1973 in Oslo), lives and works in Bærum, Norway and Gdynia, Poland. His art practice comprises video, performance and installation.

His most recent solo shows include: Oseana (Os), Buen Kulturhus (Mandal), Heerz Tooya (Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria) and B-Galleria (Turku, Finland).
