Løland has occupied Bergen Kjøtt during the summer, developing his sculptures, textile works, and paintings on site. In his work Løland has long been investigating the potential in different material, both used and found, working often with subtraction and draining objects for colours. For 'Love is Old, Love is New' paintings are made using chlorine and sunlight as developer and sculptures include material found in the neighbourhood.

Oliver Pietsch (b.1972) lives and works in Berlin. He finished his studies at the Munich Academy of the Arts in 2003. Developed through filmic montage, Oliver Pietsch’s films are marked by a solid archival testimony to cinematic and audio-visual culture. From old films to more recent ones, from documentary to independent cinema through to Hollywood blockbusters, Pietsch plays around with fictional re-interpretations, intrinsically creating a new narrative. The video presented at Bergen Kjøtt, 'Because' takes viewers on a dreamlike flight through cumulus clouds, with occasional scenes of blissful sunrises or sunsets. Actually the titled for the show 'Love is Old, Love is New' is obtained form it`s soundtrack 'Because', which itself is a re-edited work of nine harmonies sung by only three singers; Lennon, McCartney and Harrison.
