“Art is the lie that reveals reality.” Jeroen Brouwers - “Culture, considered as a process, means acquiring a vast deal of useless knowledge, and then forgetting it.” Albert Jay Nock - “The world is full of objects, more or less interesting; I do not wish to add any more.” Douglas Huebler - “In life and in art one has to begin each day anew.” Louis Couperus



Title: Greetings from the Hardangerfjord
2011
Project executed at the invitation of Kunstnarhuset Messen, Ålvik, Norway. With financial support of bkkc.





ÅLVIK - Kunstnarhuset Messen is situated in the village of Ålvik (Norway) by the Hardangerfjord. Many artists praise the beauty of the Hardangerfjord and the Hardanger bunad became Norway's national costume, but there is also a tradition of heavy industry in some villages at the fjord. During their stay as artists in residence in Ålvik Sjaak Langenberg and Rosé de Beer are developing new public art proposals which respond to national romanticism and tourism in the Hardanger area.
