Welcome to a conversation between this year’s Festival Artist, Tori Wrånes and Bergen Kunsthall’s Exhibition Curator, Silja Leifsdottir.
The Festival Exhibition transforms our four main galleries into a vast installation – a living stage or an endless concert. The title ”Moon Bag” refers to an everyday object and a symbolic notion – something one carries that is hoped to have value. But hope never exists in a vacuum – the word itself evokes the shadow of its opposite.

Her works have been shown at venues including Accelerator Stockholm, Performa 13 New York, Lilith Performance Studio, Malmö, the Biennale of Sydney, the Thailand Biennale, and Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
