G.x in Stavanger – see Google Local
Lia: Sum_05
This Saturday marks the opening of the second incarnation of the Generator.x exhibition on its travelling tour, this time in the beautiful city of Stavanger. The venue is Tou Scene, a local powerhouse for art, music and alternative culture. Tou was set up by independent artists in 2001, who took over the amazing buildings of the abandoned Tou Breweries. The project’s continued existence was ensured through support over the State Budget this year.
The opening will be an all-evening program, starting at 18:00 with the exhibition vernissage. Then there will be live musical performances and VJ’ing as the night goes on. The programme is not yet finalized, but participants will include Trond Lossius (soundart), Gisle Frøysland (visuals), Marius Watz (visuals) as well as local DJs and artists. Details to follow.
Stavanger lies on the south-west coast of Norway (see Google Local for reference). It is the little Texas of Norway, known for oil production and beautiful coastal landscapes (including the spectacular rock formation called The Pulpit). It is also a haven for extreme sports, where surfers (kite and regular) can find prime spots on the windy beaches. But make sure to wear a drysuit against the cold water. This is not California, people.
