Stavanger Secessions City Project er et byprosjekt hvor kunstneriske intervensjoner aktiverer offentlige rom gjennom større deler av året. Til hver utgave av festivalen inviteres kunstnere til å lage nye verk som engasjerer publikum gjennom lokale infrastrukturer tilhørende hverdagen. Hele programmet er åpent for publikum og gratis.
Jone Kvie’s Meteor is a vivid red meteor, typically installed as if it has crashed into a building. For Stavanger Secession 2024, however, it appears displaced, resting on a parking lot as though briefly lost. The work fuses catastrophe with spectacle: the violent image of impact becomes strangely playful, recalling amusement parks and blockbuster cinema. Kvie points to our appetite for danger at a distance, and to how contemporary entertainment turns accidents into thrilling, consumable experiences in modern culture today.
