Welcome to an experience in the intersection between visual art and movement with Jasper Siverts at Kunsthall Trondheim!
In collaboration with DansiT and Kunsthall Trondheim, the National Museum in Norway presents the work Some things last a long time, performed by Jasper Siverts together with four dance artists who are based in Trondheim: Nina Wollny, Marie Rechsteiner, Valentina Martínez Mariscal and Karen Hammervik Flø. Siverts are one of the participating artists in the National Museum's inaugural exhibition Jeg kaller det kunst [I call it art]. In the search for new art for the exhibition, the National Museum travelled around the country. Over one thousand artists applied to participate. Almost 150 artists were chosen.
Jasper Siverts's point of departure in Some things last a long time is the artists that were chosen, and he will recreate the artworks that will be presented in the inaugural exhibition. Through movement and visual art, he will explore the boundaries between what is within and what is left out of the exhibition.
Can we have memories of things that have not yet happened? Can we imagine Jeg kaller det kunst with the selected works?
The event is free and open for all.

Jasper Siverts
The artist Jasper Siverts (b. 2000) is from Oslo and works with choreography within the context of visual arts. He uses movement, action and film to ask questions regarding performance. In exhibitions, he often embodies already existing art objects. The event image is from Siverts' exhibition Solo Show. His work in Trondheim gives an insight into what he will present in the exhibition Jeg kaller det kunst opens in 2021.
SIDESPRANG
SIDESPRANG [SIDESTEP] is an event series take takes place in 2020-21 and is a part of the National Museum's inaugural exhibition Jeg kaller det kunst. Until the new museum building is ready and the exhibition opens in 2021, the National Museum will bring exhibition's artists to cities and towns of Norway and show everything from events and concerts to talks and videos. Jasper Siverts' work is the third event in this autumn's SIDESPRANG program.
The exhibition Jeg kaller det kunst
Jeg kaller det kunst is the inaugural exhibition that will fill the Light Hall when the new National Museum opens in 2021. The exhibition will be the largest presentation of contemporary art in Norway ever and will show works by almost 150 artists and artist groups. The works range from painting and textile, to music, video and performance, but a common feature is that none of the artists are in the National Museum's collections. Jeg kaller det kunst explores what is placed on the outside and inside the boundaries of art, and why some art works are in the museum and others not.
SIDESPRANG is supported by Fritt Ord.
