The exhibition Nonlocality, which is actually two exhibitions, revolves around how time and place are variables that change according to technological and scientific developments. Conflicting ways of understanding the world and duality are underlying themes, and the two shows are twin exhibitions running parallel to each other. Technical solutions for one of the works, Mean Time, have been developed by freelancers in collaboration with BEK.
This week the newly refreshed soundstudio at Bek (temporarily renamed “Studio Alog”), plays host to experimental band Alog, working on new material for an upcoming album on the Rune Grammofon label.
