Miro Soares
Artist in Residence USF, Bergen, Norway
Imprecise itineraries
28.02.09 - 08.03.09

This exhibition displays two very recent works. They are part of a group of works that could be described essentially as actions in the world; the environment, either urban or natural. It’s about contextual art. These works are part of a current segment in art that dedicates to the displacement, trip or walking, an important role in the creation process.
The displacement, in this context, is not just a way of space movement, but equally a psychic fact, a tool for fiction in the production. This cineplastic transforms the city into a stage, as points the french critic Thierry Davila. This production can act in the limit between documentary and fiction, alternating between micro-politics and actions of fantastic (dream-like) order.

Curated by Tran Luong
Edited by Stiftelsen 3,14
Shown in its entirety at Stenersenmuseet in Oslo

Artits presented in Bergen:
Lai Thi Dieu Ha, Dinh Q. Lê, Nguyen Manh Hung, Nguyen Trinh Thi, Tuan Andrew Nguyen & Phu Nam Thuc Ha, Pham Ngoc Duong, Tran Trong Vu, Vu Hong Ninh.

09.10. - 15.11.2009

Lim Dim is Vietnamese for regarding something with eyes partly shut. That's a way to describe somebody that's either partly asleep, may be in deep thought, possibly studying other people behind cover. The title puts description to a state of being referable to a new and young generation Vietnamese artists with small recognition in their home country. Rather, this generation is about to raise attention on the international visual arts arena.
The majority of the artists belong to a small and solid group in Hanoi working with installations, performance and video.

Curator for the exhibition is the Hanoi based Tran Luong. Tran is an artist and has more than anyone contributed to gather creative and current thinking Hanoi artists into a group environment. He's an internationally profiled artist and a heavy exponent for Vietnamese contemporary art. Over the last ten years, he has also caught international attention as a curator.
