"Outside the circle" text posted in Minding Animals blog

My text "Utenfor sirkelen" [Outside the circle], in Norwegian - see previous posts - written on invitation for an art exhibition by Jørund Aase Falkenberg and addressing the history of human-animal relations, has been posted in the Minding Animals Norway blog - see here. The text has previously been published on the artist's webpage.

"Outside the circle" art exhibition text now online

My academic text "Utenfor sirkelen" [Outside the circle], which is part of Jørund Aase Falkenberg's art exhibition of the same name, is now available online - on the artist's homepage in plain text plus as a PDF document.

I've also published the full text in my Norwegian language blog Utopisk Realisme.

Text read at opening of art exhibition "Who owns history?"

Yesterday I had the pleasure of reading excerpts of my text "Utenfor sirkelen" [Outside the circle] at the third out of four events constituting the opening of the 8 artists-strong art exhibition "Hvem eier historien? Makt, kunst og demokrati" [Who owns history? Power, art and democracy] in Stavanger. My reading was part of the opening of "Utenfor sirkelen" [Outside the circle] by artist Jørund Aase Falkenberg, at MUST - Museum Stavanger's Department of Natural History. There were quite a few present (a hundred?).

This was the second time I took part in the opening of an art exhibition, and furthermore it is the second time I am contributing to an art exhibition (both times in an academic role).

Some hours ahead of the opening event(s), I got to see Jørund's exhibition, which  includes the video "Inn i sirkelen" [Into the circle], documenting how he burried two birds from the museum's collection, and "Nytt lys" [New light] which is situated around and within an existing natural history exhibition involving skeletons (of whales etc.) and mounted animals.

The full text of my contribution "Utenfor sirkelen" (6 pp) will be available in print throughout the exhibition (March 6th - June 15th) at Stavanger Museum - initially there are 50 copies, but more will be produced given demand.

Last Monday I finished an academic text (5 pp) commissioned by the artist Jørund Aase Falnenberg for his upcoming art exhibition "Utenfor sirkelen" [Outside the circle]. The art exhibition, which is one of many marking the 200 year anniversary of Norway's constitution, will be shown at MUST - Museum Stavanger, more specifically Department of Natural History, starting early March. Falkenberg's art exhibition has an animal theme.

This is the third time I am contributing one way or another to an art exhibition.
