NEITHER FISH NOR FOWL / VERKEN FUGL ELLER FISK (last edited: 2025)

About this exposition

This exposition is a documentary project on the artistic research project Neither Fish nor Fowl. The research project consists of theater making, film making, workshops, performances and writing, and explores the wondrous worlds of becoming in theatre for early years. Together with my theater company Teater Fot, I have been investigating the significance of affect as philosophical, emotional, and material inspiration in the creative process, and in relation to young children in Theater for Early Years. Neither Fish nor Fowl was conducted as a performance project from April 2017 to March 2020. During this period, the research process was documented in RC, presenting methods, writings, and reflections along the way. The pre-production performance (for babies 0-2) was shown at the festival Olavsfestdagene in Trondheim, Norway, summer 2017 and at Trondheim Kunsthall autumn 2017. The full production, Begynnelser (for 3-5 years), was presented in april 2018 in co-production with the venue Teaterhuset Avant Garden in Trondheim. Baby Becomings (0-2 years), was presented at festivals and for kindergartens in Trondheim autumn 2018, and the final version Himmel & Hav / Sky & Sea was presented at Rosendal Teater in in March 2020, touring kindergartens for one week. Animalium (2019) was a spin-off production with film making, workshops, visiting exhibition spaces and other public spaces. An exposition in VIS - Nordic Journal for Artistic Research #2 on the theme Estrangement was published in 2020 through RC. In the period 2020-26 Animalium has become a new site specific research project, looking at post humanist approaches to different sites such as kindergarten spaces, libraries and art exhibition spaces, documented as an ongoing research project here. In 2026 a new version of Sky & Sea will be produced for kindergarten touring: Himmelfiskene.

Denne utstillingen er et dokumentasjons-prosjekt om det kunstneriske forskningsprosjektet «Verken fugl eller fisk». Prosjektet består av teaterproduksjon, filmskaping, workshops, forestillinger og skriving, og utforsker betydningen av affekt i teater for små barn. Affekt har vært filosofisk, emosjonell og materiell inspirasjon i den kreative prosessen. «Verken fugl eller fisk» ble gjennomført som et forestillingsprosjekt fra april 2017 til mars 2020. I løpet av denne perioden ble forskningsprosessen dokumentert i RC, med presentasjon av metoder, tekster og refleksjoner underveis. Forprosjektet (for babyer 0-2 år) ble vist på Olavsfestdagene i Trondheim sommeren 2017 og på Trondheim Kunsthall høsten 2017. Hele produksjonen, Begynnelser (for 3-5 år), ble presentert i april 2018 i samproduksjon med Teaterhuset Avant Garden i Trondheim. Baby Becomings (0-2 år) ble presentert på festivaler og for barnehager i Trondheim høsten 2018, og den endelige versjonen av Himmel & Hav / Sky & Sea ble presentert for 3-5-åringer på Rosendal Teater i mars 2020, og turnerte for 0-2 åringer i barnehager den påfølgende uka før pandemien lukket oss ned. Animalium (2019) var en spin-off-produksjon med filmskaping, workshops, besøk i utstillingsrom og andre offentlige rom. En presentasjon i VIS - Nordisk tidsskrift for kunstnerisk forskning #2 med temaet Fremmedgjøring ble publisert i 2020 gjennom RC. I perioden 2020-26 har Animalium utviklet seg som et stedsspesifikt forskningsprosjekt som undersøker posthumanistiske tilnærminger til ulike steder som barnehagerom, biblioteker og kunstutstillingsrom, og dokumentert som et pågående forskningsprosjekt her. I 2026 vil en ny versjon av Sky & Sea bli produsert for barnehageturné: Himmelfiskene.
