va dee natland sb?

Now the difficult part comes... so... what is Natland SB?

Natland SB is initiated in Bergen Norway and run by Hilde N (the director managing) and Sluik R (a disposable curator). The issues it exposes, items it presents are collected from their immediate surroundings.

Natland SB continues a thought and questions a quote made popular by German architect Mies van der Rohe: less is more. Natland SB agrees and suggests to add in this century: but how much.

Natland SB dismisses todays trend of a future recyclable and sustainable society as a modern indulgence to ease the soul. Natland SB investigates the decomposability of contemporary art forms meanwhile contributing to clarify the fact art is the only stable science humans have.

Natland SB started as an online gallery showing daily objects they and their neighbors want to get rid of at the communal waste facilities of a housing estate just north of Paradis. In this compound was conveniently enough already a nail in the wall. Natland SB simply started to hang the rejects on this nail, photograph and publish them.

Natland SB also organizes happenings like seminars and meetings of the rectangular table. Natland SB furthermore gets involved into other outdoor matters like a gallery on site or the temporary participation in so-called artistic dialogs.

One effect of the Natland SB activities is less visual rubbish around some places. This might be in the end the biggest contribution. Natland SB is without sorrows.

Vem er Sb Natland?

seventh manifest - in other words

Hei Du, this is a personal invitation to participate in the 2nd Natland SB but how much less is more Seminar 2011 in Bergen.

The Natland SB seminars deal through visual arts, ethics and philosophy and other loose ends with global issues, prospects and visions on future developments. If you dare to walk the line of fiction and reality and if you are not easily disappointed. If you like to actively participate in conversations and challenges and not at all scared of mirrors and contradictions and like to explore new matters whatever the outcome is, if you admit that the universe is big, if you have all the time to spend on Saturday the 12th of February 2011, then please step forward and answer this call.

The program is being compiled by Sluik R, the disposable curator at Natland SB galleri. This man has an extensive history as an audio visual and mixed media artist, notorious wanderer, committed tutor and dazzling lecturer, global organizer and solo activist. In Bergen he has been working in recent past with BAS, BEK and KHIB.

The event will take place near the premises of the Natland SB art Galleri from the morning 11.30 until the evening. Due to the limited amount of chairs you are urged to sign in for the event as soon as possible by sending an email to: postnatland@gmail.com or by leaving a message on Facebook.

After signing in you will receive specific information about program and location. The conversation language will be second hand English. Natland SB art Galleri is already less fresh and depending on you. The Seminar is not for free. A small token is accepted. The host is still a true moonlighter.

Hilsen, S B (Sb)

I like that word: happening. Little old fashioned with an optimist sound covers it accurately, this so-called 2nd Natland SB but how much less is more Seminar 2011. Yes, I am doing it again next month, be moderator or more like master of ceremony. One could ask what disposable curators are not useful for, or rephrased, one could ask what the kinds of me are not disposable for, ha? I do not tell what I come up with next.

The 1st Seminar last June was mainly an SB Natlandian introduction to the actual quote of Mies vd R, therefor it also focused or directly leaned heavily on architecture. I guess some summer words will be repeated, nothing wrong with good repetition, but i like to up heave the whole issue a little over and away from history re-interpreted and consumed and to put it closer to the occurring of the crossroad we stand on close to this present, now or being before the mind. More in the spirit of: we all know that it is wrong… what could be a way to react or better act to that matter, taking or leaving it. Natland SB has received once or twice a compliment for the added but how much and right so!

I sound vague? You say: again? Indefinite? You want it spelled out and supported by numbers and statistics? A pampered trajectory with keywords guide lining to safe haven? You want me to kick your only brain out? I could do with lesser words you mean? OK, wise ape, agreed, but how much less? I get so sick of this… what i said is… but what i mean is… are you listening? This is supposed to be a constructive dialog clarifying the upcoming event for the uninformed and healthy curious. I know you are not professor Y and I am still but just a former contemporary artist. We already dealed with that in our past that our world is rather based on emotionalism than on intellectualism, you smart ass! They all stopped reading, you say? Who started it? Let's stop this before we turn green…. (breath)

The Natland SB seminars and rectangular table meetings are deleuzian happenings where one goes for a organized forest walk and get¢s introduced to several trees seemingly standing random around but after a while it all makes sense and you trust your eyes when you see them actually move a little and change position but do not expect not to get lost in the woods. Just get in, sign on and join that day. It is a fun ride almost for free.

With sincere pleasure and constructive senism Natland SB art Galleri organizes the Second Natland SB but how much less is more Seminar. This event takes place in Natland SB Galleri Bergen on Saturday 12th February 2011 and will focus on following amongst more of less:

The participants observe the footprints of post contemporary art attempts and start questioning how disposable art should be or how sustainable artworks are allowed to be or… Ein Seminar als Geistliche Wanderung in der Psyche die zukünftige Künstler die zerbrechliche Kunst als Lösing zu erfahren und als Zeitgenossischer Wiederstandsbeitrag der heutigen Unmacht zu überwegen oder…
