Ase Brunborg Lie
Hike to til Burkelandsfjellet!
10:00
As a way to share the research conducted during their Live studio residency, Ase Brunborg Lie invites 10 participants to join a hike at Burkelandsfjellet (Osterøy, elevation: 365m). During the walk, the artist will guide participants in developing situated knowledge of large-scale infrastructures through silent listening, sensing, mapping, and narrating what is often rendered abstract or inaccessible. The group will then return to Bergen Kunsthall’s Live Studio for reflection, drawing exercises, and discussion.
This workshop is part of Brunborg Lie’s long-term project NIMBLE WEAVERS, an investigation into energy infrastructure, land-use conflict, and community knowledge within Nordhordland UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Engaging with the layering of national climate policy, local ecologies, and rural livelihoods, the project examines how extractive logics, land-use and preservation both shape and are shaped by the relationships we cultivate with land and community.
NIMBLE WEAVERS is coordinated by artist Robin Everett as a part of the NFR transdisciplinary research project ACTIONABLE at the University of Bergen, engaging art and science to address climate adaptation and sustainability in collaboration with the Nordhordland UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. NIMBLE WEAVERS is supported by Vestland fylkeskommune and Bergen Kommune.
This is the second of three residencies responding to the theme of Another Sun, an evolving curatorial programme on the poetics and politics of the subsurface curated by Jade Meili Barget.
Through their work, Ase Brunborg Lie explores how to create in our present with associated philosophical and ethical questions, and work for more just possible futures. They point out blind spots in historical and social narratives and in built structures, and suggest alternatives to extractivism and human exceptionalism. Central to their practice is site-specificity and cross-pollination, inspired by queer-feminist, postcolonial and scientific thinking. Projects often involve others from creative and scientific fields and from local communities, and include audience-participatory works, performance, sound, multimedia installations, bio art, sculpture, and film, among others. Lie has completed the post-master program Of Public Interest Lab at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. They hold an MA in Scenography from the Academy of Performing Arts, HIOF and a BFA from Trondheim Art Academy, NTNU.
