Bio:
Tori Wrånes is a vocalist and artist and has a transmedial artistic practice, which unfolds as performance, sculptures, videos or installations. Her use of sounds, musical instruments, costumes, props, architecture, and sculptures deforms her appearance and creates new rituals and dreamlike constellations. Choreography with sound might be a good way to describe her work, be it solo or with multiple performers, like opera-singers on bikes, musicians in a chairlift, or a singing rock.
Geir Haraldseth is a curator at the National Museum. He is currently working on an exhibition about death that will open in 2026, and the museum's performance programme.
In 2022, he curated the opening exhibition at the museum, I call it art, with Randi Godø, and the Dutch pavilion for the Venice Biennale.
Previously, Haraldseth was general manager of Rogaland Art Centre (2012-2018) and curator at the Academy of Fine Arts at KHiO (2011-2012). He has written about art for Art in America, the Exhibitionist, Kunstkritikk and Acne Paper, among others.
