"ARBEIDSMANDEN" was a joint project with Grethe Melby, Thomas Sivertsen
and Jørgen Larsson. It consisted of a Concert and an installation and
was part of Stunt Club
at Kunstnernes Hus
in Oslo the 5. and 6. of March 2002. We performed Norwegian workers songs in
the cafe and painted the exhibition space white while the same songs (in a somewhat
different disguise) was played from two speakers. On the walls were projections
of the lyrics from the songs, in white font, mixed whith live input from a camera
faced towards our work space. As the painting went on, the new whiteness of
the walls "covered" the lyrics.
Some documentation is available.
