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 naturally formed
Under lines of the uncontrollable (re)shaping
Under lines of the adjusted sights
Under lines of the uncertainty from the semi-translucent
An united expedition on brighter days

Course on art in social media (SoMe) 

Date: Thursday March 17
Time: 12:00 – 16:00
Venue: Lademoen kunstnerverksteder, physical attendance
For whom: Artists and small galleries
Sign up: E-mail to kurs@lkv.no by March 14 to sign up.
Participants: Max 30
Course leader: Johanne Nordby Wernø, St. Hans Kommunikasjon
Free of charge
Language: Norwegian

Social media – Facebook, Instagram and other channels for two-way communication – has become a necessary part of the toolbox for anyone who wants to reach out to the public, the press and other stakeholders.

In this course, participants learn more about the singularity of these channels, and we go through what a small business (individual artist or viewing venue) can gain from good use of them. The participants further learn how to create a simple communication plan for the business in general and get good routines for the use of social media.

The emphasis is on understanding important principles for good communication in social media and acquiring the routines for applying them well – even when you have little or no staff. Everyone gets templates and other tips for simple, but useful tools for creating and publishing good material.

We also look at examples from companies both in and outside the art field and analyze why they are effective, and the participants focus on exercises with their own actual business as a case.

The course is a collaboration between VISP and Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder and is supported by Trondheim municipality.

Artist presentation

In residence: Yasen Vasilev // In house: Per Stian Monsås

Where: LKV’s GYMSAL
When: January 26, 13:00 – 14:00
Language: English

Welcome to the presentation by writer and performance-maker Yasen Vasilev, who is in residence at Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder (LKV) until the end of March; and by visual artist Per Stian Monsås, who is a tenant at LKV since November 2020.

Yasen Vasilev (1988, Bulgaria) is educated at the theatre academies of Sofia and Shanghai, and works internationally in the field of contemporary dance and performance as a maker, dramaturg and critic. He is a regular contributor for Springback magazine, collaborator of Belgian choreographer Ehsan Hemat and co-founder of Radar Sofia, a residency for playwrights, dramaturgs and artists at risk. During his residency at LKV, Vasilev will work in collaboration with DansiT with a group of local dancers on a Norwegian version of his performance “Impossible actions”.

In the mundane, he tries to find those hidden gems take makes life interesting and highlights them through abstraction. Within his material and spatial practice, this abstraction can present itself as a wide variety of expressions. His work aims to cultivate experiences that can connect, and shared between, the viewer/participant and the work.Monsås graduated with a MFA from Trondheim Academy of Fine Art. His work has been commissioned for Hurtigruten (2018) and REV Ocean (2020). He was bestowed the Debutant Award at the 45th Trøndelags Exhibition in 2021. Monsås lives and works in Trondheim.
