Ane Hjort Guttu
On the occasion of Ane Hjort Guttu's 2015 Festival Artist exhibition at Bergen Kunsthall, presenting her latest film work, this substantial monograph gathers reflections on recent projects and offers insight into the artist's work and methodology. Guttu's new film Time Passes (2015), and commissioned by the institution, debates the contradictory and complex issues around the uses of and rights to public space, urban poverty and inequality, and the responsibility of the artist to produce commentary. An essay by Kim West introduces Guttu's work as portraiture filmmaking crossing the gaze of the documentarian with a decidedly subjective point of view; Pablo Lafuente situates the work in relatio...
Writings, Conversations, Scripts
Writings, Conversations, Scripts is the first survey of text works by Ane Hjort Guttu. Written between 2003 and 2018, the texts range from public statements, poetic short prose, and film scripts to reflections on the role of the artist and essays on art for children. With a special focus on the significance of “image-text constellations,” this anthology, edited by Rike Frank and designed by HIT, suggests connections between artistic writing and curatorial publishing. The publication was conceived in connection with the solo exhibition “Films” by Ane Hjort Guttu at Tromsø Kunstforening in 2018, co-curated by Rike Frank and Leif Magne Tangen, and was generously supported by Oslo National Academy of the Arts, Norsk Kulturråd, Office for Contemporary Art Norway, and Fritt Ord.

Ane Hjort Guttu
Ouvrage publié à l'occasion de l'exposition du même nom présentée au Quartier, Quimper, du 4 octobre 2014 au 11 janvier 2015.00"Urbanisme Unitaire" est la première exposition en France de l'artiste norvégienne Ane Hjort Gutt. Empruntant son titre aux situationnistes qui considéraient la ville comme un continuum d'expérience, Ane Hjort Guttu porte un regard critique sur les transformations esthétiques et politiques de la ville contemporaine. Ses vidéos, photographies et installations donnent corps à des histoires singulières et à des dérives urbaines qui révèlent le quotidien dans son étrangeté. Ane Hjort Guttu met ainsi en perspective le rôle de l'artiste et la place des images dans la ville tout en nouant un dialogue avec les oeuvres de ses aînés, de Gustave Doré à Guy Debord en passant par Diego Rivera. Ce livre comprend un entretien entre Ane Hjort Guttu et Keren Detton, commissaire de l'exposition, et un texte du critique d'art François Piron.

Avant-Garde Museology
The museum of contemporary art might be the most advanced recording device ever invented. It is a place for the storage of historical grievances and the memory of forgotten artistic experiments, social projects, or errant futures. But in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Russia, this recording device was undertaken by artists and thinkers as a site for experimentation. Arseny Zhilyaev’s Avant-Garde Museology presents essays documenting the wildly encompassing progressivism of this period by figures such as Nikolai Fedorov, Aleksandr Rodchenko, Kazimir Malevich, Alexander Bogdanov, and others—many which are translated from the Russian for the first time. Here the urgent question...
The Phantom of Liberty
One of the few things we have in common in contemporary society is the future of our children. But it seems that even the "we" of childhood, of learning and free play, has turned into a common ground for instrumentalization and competition. Today, the pedagogical paradox--Kant's meditation on the paradox that the subject's predisposition for freedom must be learned--is increasingly lost in governmental obsession about the efficiency of education and schooling. From another perspective, artists are addressing questions of childhood, play, and pedagogy. What ideological and moral transformations is the school system currently undergoing? What do the psychiatric diagnoses and treatments mean th...

Friends of Interpretable Objects
Tamen's concern is to show how inanimate objects take on life through their interpretation--notably, in our own culture, as they are collected and housed in museums. It is his claim that an object becomes interpretable only in the context of a "society of friends." Thus, he suggests, our inveterate tendency as human beings to interpret the phenomenal world gives objects not only a life but also a society.
