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

Throw Your Traces

March 4, 2016 @19:00 - March 6, 2016 @16:00 CET Exhibition, Opening

About

“Fox, tell me please

is there something?

Will there be shame next year?

Fox, speak clearly.

Let the people coming to the field

stand eye to eye.

Throw your traces.

Give me your nails to mark the sand.

Be clear. Whatever you see, tell me

Give me your footprints.”

– Dogon Fox Divination chant

Groundnuts, cacao and palm oil were part of the biggest export industries in Nigeria before crude oil was discovered. Groundnut production was a key part of the economy in Northern Nigeria. Bags of groundnut were stacked in the shape of a pyramid before they were shipped. The pyramids, once viewed as a symbol of wealth, vanished with the introduction of oil. Pyramids have been built by different civilizations for thousands of years, often surrounded by royal, astrological and spiritual meaning.

Linda Karin Larsen is currently based in Stavanger and went out with Bachelor’s degree in fine art from the Oslo Academy of Fine Art in 2013. She is also the most recent member of the Studio17 team. At Studio17 on Friday march 4th, she will be channeling ancient truths from the void through sculpture and sound. Hovering in the middle ground between the science of construction and industry, and the superstition of cosmological and spiritual mysticism.
