Kunsthall Trondheim

This video introduction presents the international group exhibition Who Wants to Live Forever? at Kunsthall Trondheim (17 September–15 November, 2020).

Participating artists: Oreet Ashery, Solveig Bergene, Gideonsson/Londré, Jessica Harvey, Moa Israelsson, Britta Marakatt-Labba, Mercedes Mühleisen, Adrian Piper, Tabita Rezaire, The Deep Field Project (Diann Bauer, Jol Thoms, Neal White) and Anton Vidokle.

The group exhibition Who Wants to Live Forever? considers the dawing (im)possibility of immortality, at a time when biotechnology seems to promise never-ending life for the few while bio- and microbiopolitics control life itself, both through bodies and through molecules, DNA and code. The exhibition explores desires of eternal life in the light of material changes caused by climate change, as well as the ethical and political implications.

The video introduction is a part of the Kunsthall Trondheim's new mediation format, launched Spring 2020: video introductions of exhibitions with information for Norwegian sign language users.
