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

De siste fem årene har Jess Miley (Berlin) og Derek Sargent (Bergen) samarbeidet om deres kunstneriske og performative forskningsprosjekt ‘The Grave Project’. Prosjektet undersøker historiske individer som har hatt innvirkning på skeiv og ikke-normativ kultur. Forskningen har kulminert i en pilegrimsreise til individenes gravsteder, dokumentert med fotografi og film, for å skape et alternativt historisk arkiv. Prosjektet undersøker på hvilken måte disse individenes skeivhet er brukt i konstruksjonen av deres historiske biografier. Det nye kapittelet (Skeiv Norge) innebærer en pilegrimsreise til følgende individers gravsteder: Ambrosia Tønnesen, Wenche Lowzow, Borghild Krane, Lorentz Severin Skougaard, Bolette Berg, Gunvor Hofmo, Pauline Hall, Leif & Paal Roschberg, Per Aabel og Alfhild Hovdan.
