Artist Talk :

Blackhaine, Clémentine Deliss,
Anette Gellein, Jone Kvie, Sandra Vaka

Gathering Clémentine Deliss, Sandra Vaka, Anette Gellein, Blackhaine, and Jone Kvie, the artist talk will moves through traps, extractivism, and post-industrial bodies, from Guillaume Dustan references to Claes Oldenburg’s pop irony and capitalist excess.  The conversation opens a shared space around contemporary artistic practices shaped by industrial, social, and bodily pressures. It brings together perspectives on sculpture, performance, and image-making, where ideas of extractivism, labour, desire, and transformation intersect. Situated within Stavanger’s industrial context, the talk sets up a dialogue between different practices and voices engaging with the conditions of post-industrial culture and its aesthetic and political residues.
