  • Sandrine Deumier

    Sandrine Deumier

    France

    Sandrine Deumier is a multidisciplinary artist working in the fields of performance, poetry and video art, whose work investigates post-futurist themes through the development of aesthetic forms related to digital imaginaries. Passionate about digital storytelling, immersive artistic experiences, ecological concerns and speculative futures, her work focuses on imagining new ways of inhabiting the world using new technologies from an animist perspective.

  • Steinar Yggesth

    Steinar Yggeseth

    Norway

    Steinar Yggeseth is a composer from Oslo. His music often has its basis in various sonic qualities, and unfolds somewhere between timbre and tone. It frequently takes as its starting point the exploration of specific sounds or sound models. Yggeseth's work ranges from larger ensembles to intimate formats, and includes chamber music, electronic music, and interdisciplinary projects.

    He describes his work as follows: The inspiration comes in the revelation and contemplation of a musical object. The composing begins when I turn it, illuminate it, and color it, break it down and put it together again, in search of a form.

Dissemination

Open studios

All guest artists who are granted residency commit to presenting their work through open studios. The public is invited 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.
