Nicoletta Favari & Christopher Salvito
Italy
Nicoletta & Christopher return to Leveld for the second time as Passepartout Duo. Their work investigates the way in which we listen to and connect with sound. The group is continually developing a specialized and evolving ecosystem of handmade musical instruments that have ranged from analog electronic circuits and conventional percussion, to room-size textile installations and found objects. The group has been on a nearly continuous world tour ever since they began collaborating in 2015, and their experiences traveling have heavily influenced their unconventional creative process.

Katarina del Rosario
Philippines
Kat is an interdisciplinary artist working across writing, sequential art, and painting. Drawing from folklore, memory, and migration, her work explores isolation, emotional and cultural landscapes, and the blurred boundaries between reality and myth. At the core of her practice is storytelling, moving between fiction and nonfiction, digital and traditional media, and integrating text and image as each story demands.

Dissemination
Open studios
At regular intervals, open studios are arranged where the guest artists invite the public into the studios to meet the artists and see what they are working on.
Summer exhibition
Every year a curated art exhibition is arranged in Løa. Often it is former guest artists who are given this assignment. The exhibition is open every day, 24 hours a day from mid-May to early October and is free. There are about 2000 visitors to the exhibition every summer.
Nesch and the kids
We have a collaboration with the schools in Ål . This is a program where students have theoretical and practical instruction in art at the schools. The students come to the art studio with print-ready plates that they have prepared based on inspiration from Rolf Nesch. And in the graphic workshop they get help from a graphic artist to create their own print.
