Bakketun & Norum is an Oslo-based artist duo established in 2012. Their collaborations are often made in relation to a journey, and lead them into investigations on the history, folklore and physicality of a given place. Other participants, like musicians and actors, are occasionally invited to participate in performances. Norum’s comes from a painting background where he is implementing the history of abstract painting as an almost innocent open source. In this way he is watching this formal visual vocabulary about the radical unutterable, from an astonishing neutralized point of view. Bakketun who’s main focus is installation, sculpture and video, contributes with works where the visual language of every day life and science are used to depict psychological states in atmospheres without humans, but where the human is clearly present.
