Anna Lundh (b.1979) is a Swedish artist, based in Stockholm and New York. Much like a detective or archaeologist she is investigating cultural phenomena, social agreements, language and technology.

The work shown at Entrée is concerning our personal and social relationships to the concept of time. Lundh has for several years run a research project to collect individual reflections and visual perceptions of time, which are partly presented in the video work The Year is a Python that swallowed an Elephant. From the Swedish Television archive Lundh has collected ”wait-time” (a ticking clock between programs) spanning from 1983-93; for example 16:50:08 - 16:55:00, August 28^th 1990. Included is also her latest project New Years Eve (GMT -0:30), where she created a unique time zone for the gallery space Platform Sthlm, 1,5 hours behind local time. Research for the current exhibition Grey zone has now led her to Frøken Ur´s lost recordings…

Anna Lundh graduated from Konstfack in 2008 and has since participated in residency programs such as LMCC Workspace, New York and Omi International Arts Center. Lundh has exhibited at Bonniers Konsthall, Haninge Konsthall, Rhizome, Marian Spore, Apexart and Franklin Street Works to name a few and also published text-based works for Squid, Hjärnstorm and Triple Canopy.

Lecture performance by Anna Lundh Friday January 20th at 21.00, offering insight into her research project The Year is a Python that swallowed an Elephant.

Karen Skog and Mia Øquist have been working towards this collaborative exhibition from completely different parts of the country, Øquist from Bergen and Skog from Svalbard. Through images sent from one to the other, unexpected associations has emerged that have resulted in both finished and unfinished works which after new processing, sorting and systemizing are now presented at Entrée.

The materials consist of MDF boards, drawing paper, light bulbs, wood, masking tape, glass, pencil, watercolours, ink, metal, plastic, balloons, stamps, copy paper, photography, notebooks, artificial grass, wire,mechanics, nails, wire, glue, screws and more.

Karen Skog (b.1982) lives and works in Bergen and is currently a resident at Bergen Kjøtt`s brand new program AiR Svalbard. In 2009 she completed her Masters at the Bergen National Academy of the Arts during which she also had an exchange to the Universität für Angewandte Arts in Vienna. Skog has exhibited at BGO 1, Bergen Art Museum and Caprisious Space, New York and with her Karen Skog Orchestra she has played several concerts including at Landmark, Grieghallen and Sound of Mu.

Mia Øquist (f.1980) lives and works in Bergen where she currently has a studio at Bergen Kjøtt. Øquist has a Master of Arts from Bergen National Academy of the Arts from 2009 and had an exchange to The Royal Art Academy in Stockholm. Øquist has held performances in Norway and abroad including at the Never or Nowfestival in Bergen, Storåsfestivalen and during the Caochandi Biennial in China.

When the Lumière brothers screened their first short film, the impression of reality was so ‘new’ that when a train “arrives”, spectators are terrified by the locomotive that appears to be dashing towards them. Disbelief is suspended in favour of immersion into the fiction of the screen.

Danilo Correale further elaborates on the collapse of reality into hyperrealism as identified by Baudrillard in Symbolic Exchange and Death. The work shown at Entrée, We Are Making History, consists of a three-channel video that features a Chroma Key-equipped film studio, where the production rhetoric and the backstage itself are revealed. The viewers will face 'the image for what it is’, in what is now perceived as the standard definition of digital cinema.

Danilo Correale (b.1982) lives and works in Naples, Italy. We Are Making History was commissioned and shown at Manifesta 8. Correale has exhibited at The 11th Istanbul Biennal, Pistoletto Foundation, MADRE Contemporary Art Museum, Kunstraum Lakeside and Klagenfurth among other places. He`s been in residency at A.I.R. Antwerpen, Belgium and Mazama Residence, Seattle.

Sveinung Rudjord Unneland

U.T.

Exhibition premises are totally transformed by Unneland when he presents a shrunken version of Entrée, which transforms the gallery space into one immersive sculpture. The down scaled gallery displays new sculptures and inlaid in the walls a series of paintings witch are accessible from both sides. In addition, Unneland uses the windows as canvases for the work Jigsaw and from the speakers you`ll hear the sound piece Underneath produced in collaboration with Kjetil Bjøreid Aabø.

With the stated inspiration from Kurt Schwitters Merzbau, Unneland has created a site-specific work at Entrée. Through the exploration of the specific and formal room, issues seem to increasingly touch upon living conditions in a broader sense. The works alternate between formal research and subjective expression, as a conflict between private and public sphere.

Sveinung Unneland (b.1981) lives and works in Bergen. Unneland is educated from Bergen National Academy of the Arts and Kunsthochscule Berlin-Weissense. Unneland has exhibited among other places at Hordaland Kunstsenter, Galleri LNM, Kunstnerforbundet, Christianssands Kunstforening, Lautom Contemporary and Høstutstillingen.

Sunday September 4th at 4pm. Artist-talk at Entrée with Sveinung Unneland. Limited seating. Sign up via entree.randi@gmail.com, or let us know.

"Inside the White Cube"

The work of Ethan Hayes-Chute suggests potential living situations based on his concepts of self-sufficiency, self-preservation and self-exclusion in a variety of media including drawing, painting, sculptures and the artist book. For this exhibition at Entrée, he takes his vision to a life-sized scale, creating a fully-immersive cabin built from found and reclaimed materials, outfitted with recycled and improvised furnishings, as well as day-to-day ephemera and artifacts. The public is encouraged to enter and examine this comprehensive and elaborate example of habitation.

According to the artist, Make/Shifted Cabin "refers to the handmade in general, the editing process that naturally occurs with such an ad-hoc creation, as well as the somewhat rudimentary or ramshackle construction, as well as the idea of a cabin transplanted from it's natural habitat to another, as well as the lifestyle adjustments required to produce such an object."

Ethan Hayes-Chute was born and raised in Freeport, Maine, USA. He lives and works in Berlin and is currently a resident at The Nordic Artists' Centre Dalsåsen. Hayes-Chute has a BFA in painting from Rhode Island School of Design (2004) and was named the Maine Arts Commission's Visual Arts Fellow for 2011. He can often be found exploring dumps and scrapyards or walking the streets perusing second hand shops for potential objects with which to populate his constructions.
