RockArt is a rock and art festival in Holmestrand, a small town about an hours drive outside Oslo. The festivals spans 3 days from July 24th to 26th and is held at an abandoned factory by the ocean; its immediate surroundings is a sand beach, 30 meter tall industrial buildings and a park. It's all very idyllic and of course the perfect location for a Psykosedyr exhibition!
Psykosedyr shared a large, rustic, industrial room with Kim Sølve of Unreality and Torgrim Torve.
The saturday had a special event for children where they could make sculptures, animation movies, paintings and attend a concert with punk versions of classic childrens songs. To my great surprise and joy the children were also invited to review the exhibitions.
Here's what they had to say about the Psykosedyr images.
The questions:
1. What do you see in the picture? / Hva ser du på bildet?
2. What do you like the most about the picture? / Hva liker du mest med bildet?
3. What do you like the least about the picture? / Hva liket du minst med bildet?
4. What do you think the artist wishes to tell us with the image? / Hva tror du kunstneren ønsker å fortelle oss med bildet?
5. What could be different about the picture? / Hva kunne vært annerledes med bildet?
6. Other comments? / Andre kommentarer?
