WHITEBOX GALLERY: ACT OF SEDITION
EXHIBITION OCTOBER 20 – NOVEMBER 9, 2016 Acts of Sedition is a mixed–media exhibition of international artists that indirectly takes its cue from two previous WhiteBox shows that addressed different facets of the U.S. elections. Sedition (2008) paralleled the general election leading to Obama’s first term, while #makamericagreatagain (2016) was prescient in focusing on the primaries and subsequent emergence of Donald J. Trump who is now the 2016 Republican Presidential nominee. Whereas Sedition took the pulse of the national political climate, #makeamericagreatagain was more partisan as well as incorporating social media as a curatorial strategy. Acts of Sedition is like a third party, for it takes the aforementioned exhibitions as a point of departure but extends their thematic concerns to the contemporary world–at-large yet linking international geo-political strife to the U.S. political landscape and forthcoming Presidential elections. Artworks to be exhibited that underscore this, for example, include Carlos Aires’ collaged dollar bills. Curated by Raul Zamudio and Juan Puntes |

Friday the 13 of Marsh
'Mittveis på våres vandring gjennom livet
befant jeg meg i mørke, dybe skoge,
forvillet fra den vei jeg burde følge.
Hvor tungt og plagsomt er det sted å skildre:
så vildt og ufremkommelig at tanken
gjennføder frygten som jeg dengang følte'
værket er en ny-fortolkning av åpningsversene af Dante Alghieri's Guddommelige Komedie. Vi befinner oss ikke som dante i middelalderen, men fortapt i nutiden.

The Soups & Stories Project
Performance at Festplassen during Bergen Cultural Night 2014. The performance has in point of departure of the high numbers of rapes. So fare this year 58 people have been raped and 7 attempts have been recorded. However, a rapport done earlier this year show that only
11 % go to the police and report.
Rape is a crime that affects your personal freedom, morality and character. Rape is the most aggravating violation of human dignity, and leaves symptoms equally severe as those left from natural disasters, war and torture. This has nothing to do with religion, culture or sex. It has to do with the perpetrator himself and the surrounding society, which place much of the responsibility on the one being raped.

Vestlandsutstillingen 2014 ' Den enes brød en annens død '
Kuratoren Lars Sture skriver: Mennesket er et sammensatt vesen, parallelt med vår iboende egoisme er det sosiale fellesskap grunnleggende for vår tilværelse. Vi har behov for å høre til og har tallrike arenaer for å tilfredsstille vår trang til samhold og samhørighet. Samtidig; opplever vi en stadig sterkere individualisme på bekostning av fellesskapet? Har den utilslørte egoismen blitt mer utbredt, blitt mer akseptabel? Har vårt verdigrunnlag blitt uklart?
I VU2014 stilles spørsmål omkring ’JEG’ og de ulike ’VI’ som vi er en del av, og vi søker kunstprosjekt som reflekterer over idéer omkring individet og fellesskapet.

Anmelder Sigrun Hodne skrev i Stavanger Aftenblad 28 januar,2014:
"Min favoritt i denne utstillingen er Gitte Sætres skulpturelle arbeid "Morstøv". Sætre har konstruert et lite hus og dekket vegger og tak med nærbilder av støv. Ut fra huset strømmer lyden av en støvsuger, og brokker samtaler mellom en kvinne og et lite barn. Moren lærer barnet å rydde, kanskje, holde orden; på seg selv - og på virkeligheten. Verket er estetisk vakkert, enkelt, kraftfullt, og det besvarer kuratorens utfordringen på en uventet god måte; mor – datter – støvsuger, hvilken urscene! Vår rolle i det store fellesskapet er ikke bestemt av enkle, frie valg, men er et resultat av en langsom skapelsesprosess, der vi på ulike måter lærer hva som er forventet av oss. Hva som fortjener ros, og hva som leder til … skam. For meg er det naturlig å lese Sætres studier av kvinner og støv ut fra et feministisk perspektiv, og å se henne som et viktig nytt ledd i en eksklusive rekke kunstnere som på mystisk vis klarer å omskape det hverdagslige til kunst, slik som for eksempel Mary Kelly (f. 1941) og Mierle Laderman Ukeles (f. 1939), og nå altså også Gitte Sætre." |
Kritikk by Sigrun Hodne, Stavanger Aftenblad 28 januar,2014:
”My favourite in this exhibition is Gitte Sætres sculptural work, ”Morstøv” (” Mother’s dust”). Sætre has constructed a small house and covered the walls and ceiling with close-ups of dust. From the house drifts the sound of a vacuum cleaner, and fragments of conversation between a woman and a small child. The mother is teaching the child to clean, perhaps, to keep order; of itself – and of reality. It is an aestehtic work, simple, powerful, and it answers the curator’s challenge in an unexpectedly good way; mother – daughter – vacuum cleaner, what a primeval scene! Our role in the greater community is not set by simple, free choices, but is the result of a slow creational proces, where we learn what is expected of us in different ways. What deserves encouragement, and what leads to… shame. It falls natural for me to regard Sætre’s studies of women and dust from a feminist point of view, and to see her as an important new participant in an exclusive line-up of artists, who in a mysterious way are capable of recreating the mundane into art, as for instance Mary Kelly (born 1941) and Mierle Laderman Ukeles (born 1939), and now also Gitte Sætre.” |
The Whistling Project is a performative research initiated by Susi Law last fall, she interviewed whistlers she came across and collected whistling sound in different cities in Germany, Switzerland, France and Norway.
By invitation from curator Gitte Sætre, the project is now stationed at Alvøen (one of the oldest industrial communities which became one of the finest residential areas) with interactions between the local residents and the nature by private/ public whistling moments.

Voss Kulturhus med 'in which the smalles gesture becomes epic'
The exhibition 'in which the smales gesture become epic' at Voss seeks for the multiple possibilities to examine the environment and social structure surrounding women within the methodologies of contemporary art. All four artists here exclusively set their starting points in their immediate surroundings, focusing on ‘small gestures’ of women, then cultivate the aesthetic or creative inspirations to question dominant ideologies. This is one of the urgent themes to be pursued in conjunction with the memorable event of women's suffrage in Norway, and is exactly where the female gaze arouses contemporary art.

Gitte Sætre, Nina Grieg, Bo Magnus og Klara Lidén, belyser i utstillingen samtidens feministiske diskurs i møtepunktet mellom det lokale og det internasjonale. Kurator for utstillingen er japanske Sayoko Nakahara, basert ved FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais i Frankrike. Utstillingen presenterer nye verk som både henter frem og diskuterer feminismens historie, patriarkalske trekk og samtidig stiller spørsmål ved vår egen fortolkning av disse. Felles for arbeidene til de fire kunstnerne er refleksjonen over både den private og allmenne historien som åpner opp for ulike perspektiver og spørsmål.
