An evening of video and performance

organised by anorak and James Richards

Live performance by Alexey Kokhanov

Kunstnernes Hus
Wergelandsveien 17, NO–0167 Oslo

Marking the opening of the exhibition James Richards: Our Friends in the Audience, the one-off evening of video and live music takes place in the lower exhibition hall of Kunstnernes Hus and introduces a number of protagonists as emotional, narrative, and visual projections rather than contained personas. Using voice, disguise, puppetry, and direct address, they invite us to engage with the unpredictable and haunting interplay of memory and phantasy.

Featuring works by Tolia Astakhishvili, Mary Helena Clark, Marguerite Duras, Jordan Strafer, and Alexey Kokhanov.
