BAG ArtCamp 2021 – (w)ORD : EBBE+FLOW
a group touring exhibition from Norway and Scotland
(w)ORD : EBBE+FLOW exhibition launched at Vinsningsrommet USF in Bergen, Norway - 20th - 29th August 2021
(w)ORD : EBBE+FLOW is a touring exhibition, stemming from (w)ORD, a four years collaborative communication and artistic research project between nine artists based in Norway and Scotland: Sarah Jost, Marit Tunestveit Dyre, David Faithfull, Rhona Fleming, David Lemm, Jon Macleod, Imi Maufe, Randi Annie Strand and Calum Wallis.
(w)ORD started with two BAG Art Camp/Society of Scottish Artists residencies, first at Tormore on the Isle of Mull, Scotland, (2018) and then in Bergen
and Tjuvika in Gulen, Norway (2019). Each residency investigated language, landscape and history with invited geologists, scientists, linguists and local inhabitants taking part in seminars and field trips alongside the artists. Information about the two residencies can be found on this website under 2018 and 2019.
EBBE+FLOW is presented in a specially designed chest (kist) containing individual drawers for each artist, and a display space for flat work, unfolding to reveal sculptures, drawings, prints, video and artefacts to fill the space in any sized gallery, ferry, barn or other unusual exhibition space. An artist book publication accompanies the project and will be launched shortly. (w)ORD – EBBE+FLOW is initiated and curated by David Faithfull and Imi Maufe.
TOURING EXHIBITION
EBBE+FLOW was launched at Visningrommet USF, Bergen (20th - 29th August 2021) and will travel to the University Library Bergen; Galleri Rustika, Holsnøy and other venues (to be confirmed) in Norway, before sailing over the North Sea to Scotland in 2022 and touring the Highland and Islands to venues such as An Tobar, Isle of Mull (September til November 2022) and the Shetland Museum, as well as the Society of Scottish Artists exhibition in Edinburgh (dates to be confirmed).
