Showing at Trajector:
Nordic Art Express Video Screening (no lullaby)
People look upon the world and imagine their own culture’s superiority. In the Nordic Countries this is not an appropriate way of thinking. Even though we know that our democracy is the best, and our society the most developed, open-minded and free. One of the finest places to live, with the State as a protecting web underneath us.
How ever some slip through the net. Nordic Art Express presents video art outside the conformity of a self-indulgent lullaby.
Artists: Nina Lassila (FIN), Mattias Härenstam (SE), Sigurdur Gudjonsson (IS), Kim S. Groustra (NO), Jas Domicz (PL), Mateusz Sadowski (PL), Jorunn Myklebust Sivertsen(NO), Johanna Lecklin (FIN), Goodiepal (DK), Joanna Rytel (SE), Bjørk Viggosdottir (IS)
