After 19 years in the same premises in Mellomveien 4, we are moving BABEL into the renovated gymnasium at LKV. In preparation, BABEL will be closed until Autumn 2025 – stay tuned for the process and upcoming projects through our newsletter and social media.

The building next to LKV is the former gym building of the school and contains four apartments linked to the artist-in-residence program, with a 160 square meter gymnasium between them. It is this gymnasium with a height of six meters that we will convert into an exhibition space. As an artist-run exhibition space, Babel has an ambition to be a free space, open to experimentation, where artists can show what they want without unnecessary curatorial interference. 

“We hope that the artists who are invited to exhibit with us will be inspired and take advantage of the good spatial qualities of the new premises.” – Petter Buhagen

Since 2006, BABEL has been Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder’s (LKV) artist-run exhibition space for contemporary art. After more than 18 years and 200 exhibitions in the same venue in Mellomveien, we will move into a newly refurbished exhibition space in the former gymnasium building at LKV in the autumn of 2025. Now we would like to invite you to join us for the last exhibition in our current premises to celebrate BABEL’s present, past and future with us. Warm welcome!

For the final show at the old BABEL, Rina Eide Løvaasen presents an intermezzo between two projects, with a composite organism in stone as the connecting element between the two. When Løvaasen travelled with contemporary dancers to record performances in places that are on the verge of vanishing, stones were brought back home. A collection of these stones has taken the form of an organism dependent on co-operation for survival.

This display of interdependent objects is inspired by the symbiotic structure of the Siphonophorae – an order of marine cnidarians. These polymorphic and complex organisms consist of many individual specimens that join together to form a large, floating colony, where each individual has a specific structure and function. This makes the colony resemble a single organism, with the individuals functioning like organs contributing to maintaining a common livelihood.

The interdependency and reciprocity of the Siphonophorae is the starting point from which the ongoing project grows, in the form of rhizomes. These forms propagate further as geo points in nature, where the stones will be returned. In the exhibition the geo points of Yugoslavia’s futuristic Spomenik monuments are marked as stars on a large-scale digital jacquard weave. Here, the monuments sit in a country that no longer exists, like stars in the sky that have already burned out. 

A weave is a canvas is a textile hosts an eternity that is the immortal jellyfish, Turritopsis dohrnii, in oil painting and embroidery. The exhibition also includes the audio and video work from the disappearing places, and live performances by Chollada Phinitduang and Thomas of Norway, running throughout the opening weekend.

Rina Eide Løvaasen is artist in residence at Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder (LKV) for November–December 2024 and her exhibition will be the final one at BABEL’s current premises before we are moving the gallery to the former gymnasium in LKV’s courtyard.

The exhibition is supported by The Fund for Performing Artists (Fond for utøvende kunstnere).

De utvalgte kritikerne vil få et stipend på kr. 15 000 i tillegg til et honorert tekstoppdrag i løpet av sitt arbeidsopphold.

Kulturbyen Trondheim er i en voldsom vekst, med nye atelierfellesskap, private kunstgallerier og museer, som Rotvoll kunstnerkollektiv, Kjøpmannsgata Ung Kunst, Kunsthall Trondheim og Galleri Dropsfabrikken. Våren 2025 åpner også storsatsningen Posten Moderne. På scenekunstfeltet har Rosendal Teater etablert seg i Østbyen og Nye Hjorten Teater åpner våren 2025. Det gjør det svært aktuelt å invitere flere kritikere til byen slik at de får anledning til å fordype seg i det som foregår her.

Samtidig er kritikken som sjanger i nedgang på nasjonal basis. Som en viktig aktør for kunstkritikk i Midt-Norge ønsker ArtScene Trondheim sammen med Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder å løfte frem kritikervirket gjennom et gjesteopphold.

I løpet av sitt gjesteopphold skal kritikerne gjennomføre en presentasjon av sitt kritikervirke, samt skrive en tekst som publiseres på artscene.no. Teksten honoreres etter Kritikerlagets satser og kan ta form som kritikk fra regionens kunstscene, et intervju med en lokal kulturaktør eller en tekst fra kritikerens faglige interesseområde. 

Praktisk info:

• Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder tilbyr opphold i fullt utstyrt gjesteleilighet (ettroms). 
• Kritikeren dekker selv utgifter som kost, reise, forsikring, etc.
• Kritikeren mottar et stipend pålydende kr. 15 000 fra ArtScene Trondheim.
• Teksten honoreres etter Kritikerlagets satser (som per nå er kr. 7 000 / 11 000) av ArtScene Trondheim.
• Periode: mars 2025 eller mars 2026.
• Ordningen er rettet mot kritikere bosatt i Norden. (Trondheimsbaserte kritikere blir ikke vurdert).

Vi tar kun imot søknader via dette søknadsskjemaet.

Søknaden skal inneholde:

• Utfylt skjema
• Vedlagt PDF med maks 9 sider totalt, opptil 20 MB, navnefil: Kritiker_Etternavn med følgende:

CHRONIC PLURALISM PART 1: LKV 30 YEARS
02 – 19 November 2023

Eva Ballo, Annika Borg, Helga Bøe, Oddvar I. N. Daren, Nirmal Singh Dhunsi, Per Formo, Linn Halvorsrød, Dag Marius Hestvik, Hermann Isaksen, Farhad Kalantary, Kristina C. Karlsen, Markus Lantto, Veslemøy Lilleengen, Ann Lundström, Andrea Martinez, Tore Reisch, Solrunn Rones, Liv Rygh, Håvard Stamnes, Knut Sveen, Per Rune Vatne, Tove Weie, Anita Wollamo. 

Welcome to LKV’s anniversary exhibition Chronic Pluralism Part 1!

Opening: Thursday 02.11, 18.00–20:00

Since 1993, a total of around 150 professional visual artists have had studio space at Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder (LKV), in the building that used to be Lademoen School. 

The fact that a self-organized working community of this kind has now been in operation for 30 years is something we believe is worth celebrating. We have therefore invited all 44 current tenants at LKV, one guest artist and a small selection of former tenants to take part in an anniversary exhibition at Babel – LKV’s own exhibition space for art. There are 50 artists contributing works to the exhibition, so we have divided it into two parts to accommodate all the works. If all 150 artists were to be presented, we would have had to show at least six such densely packed anniversary exhibitions. 

In addition to marking an anniversary by celebrating the artists and their work, it is also important for us to show the great diversity in art today. Both here in Trondheim and in the studios and workshops at LKV. In this working community, everyone follows their own paths, where ‘forward in all directions’ is the order of the day. This situation is like a gift package and an open door for a curious art audience: there should be something for everyone. Welcome to the first part of the anniversary exhibition and enjoy!

The Babel Committee supports the artistic director in the execution of the exhibition program and now consists of LKV artists Anne Helga Henning, Polina Chernitskaya and Per Formo. The artistic director of Babel is Petter Buhagen.

Babel Art Space was established in 2006 and has since its opening presented around 220 exhibitions to the public. Babel is run by Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder.

Blender is a free, open-source-based software that can be used to create digital sketches/models/drawings and can also be used for animations. This course will be an introductory course and will focus on the basics and creating digital models. No prior knowledge or plans required.

The program is reminiscent of sketchup for those who know it, but it is a free program and has many more uses.

Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder søker kunstnerisk leder for BABEL visningsrom for kunst i 50% stilling, 6 års åremål.
Søknadsfrist: 29.05.2023 23:59 CET
Vi tar kun imot søknader via dette skjemaet ved finn.no.

BABEL visningsrom for kunst er et kunstnerdrevet galleri startet av kunstnere ved Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder (LKV) og drives i dag av Stiftelsen Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder. Utstillingsprogrammet er i hovedsak basert på open calls, og inkluderer solo- og gruppeutstillinger, samarbeid med andre aktører, tverrfaglige prosjekter av nasjonale og internasjonale kunstnere og kunstnere fra LKVs artist-in-residence program. 

Vår nye kunstneriske leder er engasjert på kunstfeltet og har en åpen og nysgjerrig tilnærming til kunst. Du har ansvar for daglig drift samt kontakt og oppfølging av utstillende kunstnere og du bidrar med erfaring fra kuratorisk virksomhet, utstillingsproduksjon og annen kunstfaglig kompetanse. Du har god oversikt over norsk og internasjonal samtidskunst. Du vil jobbe med programmering av BABEL sammen med Babelkomiteen, som består av tre kunstnere fra atelierfellesskapet Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder.

BABEL visningsrom for kunst ble etablert i 2006, og har som fokus formidling av samtidskunst til et bredt publikum. Vi ser etter deg som skaper entusiasme og nysgjerrighet for utstillingene og arrangementene ved BABEL. Du evner å nå ut til publikum, har gode skriftlige og muntlige kommunikasjonsevner og forståelse for betydningen av sosiale medier som kommunikasjonskanal. Arbeidsspråket er norsk og engelsk.

Du jobber selvstendig og har ansvar for den daglige driften av visningsrommet, herunder driftsrelaterte økonomiske forpliktelser, samt opplæring og koordinering av gallerivakter. Du er derfor en person med god forståelse og kjennskap til ledelse, administrasjon og økonomistyring. Babelkomite bistår kunstnerisk leder ved behov i den daglige driften og oppfølging av utstillende kunstnere. I samarbeid med daglig leder ved LKV utarbeider du også budsjett og holder orden på økonomi, hvor du har ansvar for det som er relatert til BABEL visningsrom.

BABEL er i en endringsfase, både når det gjelder lokasjon, rolle og drift.

A new journey of a nomadic series
An exhibition attempts to advance lines
Under lines of the imprinted traces of tangible memories
Under lines of the drifts before and after
Under lines of the indulgence of hearing

Under lines of the adjusted sights
Under lines of the uncertainty from the semi-translucent
An united expedition on brighter days
