Skandinavisk Forenings Kunstnerhus in Rome presents young Nordic and Italian video art. The intention is to increase the dialogue between the Roman arts-scene and Skandinavisk Forenings Kunstnerhus and in a wider perspective between Italia and the Nordic Countries. The serial of video-works titled ”ON AIR – from North to South” refers to the concept of transmission as well as to the concept of atmosphere, circling around themes of landscape as well as media and communication. The contemporary images are streaming constantly through the channels of transmission as well as through the surrounding atmosphere.
The program includes works by the following international artists: J. Tobias Anderson (Sweden), Lauri Astala** (Finland), Elina Brotherus** (Finland), Emanuele Costanzo (Italy), Jesper Fabricius/Jesper Rasmussen (Denmark), Marit Følstad (Norway), Globalgroove (Italy), Crispin Gurholt (Norway), Petra Lindholm (Finland/Sweden), Marco Raparelli (Italy), The Icelandic Love Corporation (Iceland), Milja Viita** (Finland).
- * Skandinavisk Forening was founded in 186o, but its roots go back to Thorvaldsen and H.C. Andersen. Further information: www.skandinaviskforening.org
- ** Former artists-in-residence in Skandinavisk Forenings Kunstnerhus
