Dagen etter dagen, 18. mai, kommer den amerikanske kunstneren Dave Greber til å presentere sin praksis på Rogaland Kunstsenter. Greber er i Stavanger etter et månedslangt opphold i Skudeneshavn, på et nytt residency i samarbeid med Galleri Gudrid, Gjestfrie Hus, Karmøy kommune og Rogaland Kunstsenter.
Du får høre mer om oppholdet hans i Skudeneshavn og samarbeidet med kunstneren Sophia Belkin, samt hans erfaring med finansering av prosjekter på Kickstarter. Vi lanserer også publikasjonen fra Potent Daydream!
Dave Greber (b. 1982, Philadelphia) studied at Temple University, Universiteit van Amsterdam, and Tulane University. After a stint as a filmmaker/freelance commercial video producer, he found his calling in the contemporary art resurgence of post-Katrina New Orleans, creating video loops and site-specific multimedia
installations. His work has been featured in museums: The Whitney, Crystal Bridges, Minneapolis Institute of Art, Telfair Musuem, Prospect 1.5, The Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans; commercial galleries, Arthur Roger Gallery in New Orleans, C24 Gallery in NYC; and International Media Festivals. His work has been covered by Art in
America, Artforum, Rhizome, Hyperallergic, DailyServing, Pelican Bomb, Oxford American, and others. In 2015, he hiked the hiked the 2,200 mile Appalachian Trail. The experience was the source material for Trail Magique, an installation created with the help from a grant from the Warhol Foundation, at the May Gallery in New Orleans.
In early 2017, he funded a project through Kickstarter to create
metaphysically-healing videos to broadcast the healing frequencies of Taos, New Mexico, to the world. Most recently, he completed a Rogaland Kunstsenter sponsored residency in Skudeneshavn, Norway, where he and collaborator Sophia Belkin developed a beverage foraged from the island and marketed it through a video installation and publication called For a
Potent Daydream.
