In Dolven’s films and video work, the spectator meets exactly constructed scenes in which the theme varies from the intimate and personal to universal issues. Dolven readily works with unedited film and video material in which her friends and family participate, instead of actors, and this creates an intimate and personal relationship in her works.

Mørch, Marius
Born 1973.
Attended Kunsthøgskolen i Bergen in 1999-2004. Marius Mørch entered the art scene during Høstutstillingen in 2001 with the video work ”Disguises”. For this work he received “Den franske prisen” (The French Award) which included a study visit in France. For the first time, the Museet for Samtidskunst (The Museum of Contemporary Art) chose to acquire a work from this exhibition, and Mørch was thus among the youngest artists in the museum’s collection. The technique that Mørch repeatedly has employed in his work is sampling and manipulation of scenes of violence from well known American films that he cuts and assembles in new sequences. The film sequences often appear in a repetitive and reiterated pattern that supports and amplifies the theme of violence.

Welsh, Jeremy
Born in England in 1954.
Welsh has lived in Norway since 1990. At the present, Welsh lives in Bergen where he works as professor at Kunsthøgskolen, the Kunstakademiet department. In the video ”White Out” (2002), we see a reflecting glass and mirrors in New York’s mid-town district. The people partly lose their defined shapes and are transfigured to psychedelic ornaments. The distortion of people and space denies the idea of an identity attached to one place.
