NTNU ARTEC and Kunsthall Trondheim are pleased to invite you to Spectral Landscapes a day-long exploration of textual, visual, and sonic landscapes. It draws from reflections about the role of literate and visual arts and sound in the making of space and archives developed in Musiol’s Ghosts, Memories, Landscapes (ISL/ HF NTNU) in conversation with A Generative Archive (Raphaël Grisey and Bouba Touré) currently on view at Kunsthall Trondheim. The event features talks, performances, QAs, and collaborative workshops with artists and researchers, Lena Gudd, Antonin Pons Braley, Dr. Alex Murray-Leslie, & Ada Hoel.
ABOUT THE PARTICIPANTS:
An Archive of Norths artists and researchers Lena Gudd & Antonin Pons Braley explore the multilayered relationship between human beings and their milieu in Polar and Circumpolar regions. Driven by a holistic approach, they notably draw on their ongoing study of the Canadian mining town Fermont to compose “Banlieue Nord”, a collection of documents and objects that together map, between narration and documentation, a poetic landscape of inner and outer Norths. While archives usually are institutional matters, An Archive of Norths acts as a subjective laboratory of the duo’s research-creation. Pons Braley and Gudd are associate researchers at Imaginary North, the International Laboratory of Compared Multidisciplinary Studies of the Representations of North, Université du Québec à Montréal, Canada.
