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

Ana-Maria Hadji-Culeas installasjon i Studio17 tolker ‘landskap’ og deler inn galleriet i en over- og underetasje. Over; variasjoner av den nordiske gnomen (nissen); en cowboy og en hipster har blitt utplassert som galleriets vakthunder. For å forsikre seg om at disse utdaterte hyllestene av maskulinitet er i stand til å fullføre sine plikter samt å bli fullstendig forankret til deres anviste plass har de blitt plassert nær en smartphone. Kanskje chatter de med hverandre. I underetasjen har, på tross av forsøk på å holde tilbake en infrastrukturell utvikling i form av feller og hindre, en uønsket fremtidsarkitektur sakte begynt å sive opp. En arkitektur mer sannsynlig enn bosettelser på Mars. Selv om vi ikke er helt sikre på hva slags boliger de muldvarp-liknende ingeniørene bygger for menneskeheten er man muligens nødt til å innrette seg. Bygger de parkeringsplasser i Alpene? Ved siden av dette scenarioet er skinnet til cowboyens hest strekt ut på gallerigulvet. Kanskje kan det varme noens føtter. Dimensjonene er basert på kunstnerens egen.

Ana-Maria Hadji-Culea er en billedkunstner basert i Berlin og Stockholm. Hennes arbeider setter ofte opp et hypotetisk scenario, som så omtolkes til en performance eller en installasjon. Arbeidene hennes har blitt vist hos Spektrum i Berlin (2016); Index i Stockholm (2016); Acud i Berlin (2016); Brandts 13 i Odense (2015); Det Rumenske Kulturinstituttet i Stockholm (2014); og Signal i Malmø (2013).

Ana-Maria Hadji-Culea’s installation at Studio17 interprets the notion of ‘landscape’ and divides the gallery space in two parts. On the upper floor there are variations of the Nordic gnome (nisse); a cowboy and a hipster serving as the watchdogs of the gallery space. In order to ensure that these outdated celebrations of masculinity can fulfil their duties – whist being anchored to their positions – a smartphone has been placed nearby. Perhaps they are chatting with one another. On the lower floor – despite an infrastructural development in form of traps and obstacles – an unwanted architecture of the future is slowly pooling up. An architectural construction that is more likely than a settlement on Mars. Although we’re not entirely sure what kind of dwellings these mole-like engineers are constructing for mankind, we might need to settle anyhow. Could it be that they are building parking lots in the Alps? Next to this scenario, a skin from the cowboy’s horse – dimensions of which are based on the artist’s own – has been stretched out on the floor. Perhaps it could warm someone’s feet.

Ana-Maria Hadji-Culea is a visual artist based in Berlin and Stockholm. Her work often departs from a hypothetical scenario, which she translates into a performance or an installation. Hadji-Culea has previously exhibited at Spektrum, Berlin (2016); Index, Stockholm (2016); Acud, Berlin (2016); Brandts 13, Odense (2015); Romanian Cultural Institute Stockholm (2014); and Signal, Malmö (2013).
