AK Dolven - Museum of Contemporary Art, Norway
January 14 2011 - January 15 2012
Museum of Contemporary Art , Norway will dedicate a year to the group exhibition Absolute Installation with key international installation works.
A K Dolven's moving mountain will share its exhibition space with Louise Bourgeouis' C E LL VIII (1998).
moving mountain (2004) is part of the National Gallery's collection. The work was filmed on an island solely inhabited by birds in Røst, Lofoten. In a large scale walk-in wooden installation visitors hear the intense noise from hundreds of birds while a wall sized video projection depicts the heads of two women facing away towards a rugged mountainous landscape.
In the same space Louise Bourgeouis' C E LL VIII (1998) shows textiles and sculptural elements placed inside a large steel cage. Bourgeouis has spoken of how her installation works with their many autobiographical references suggest a manifestation of psychological space.
