Associate Professor Line Halvorsen (1976) is a curator and artist based in Oslo, Norway. She graduated from the Art Academy in Bergen and Malmö, Sweden, in 2005. Previously she was doing Literary studies at the University of Tromsø and also a Film foundation school in the islands of Lofoten. Halvorsen has mainly been involved in the language between film and video art, but is more and more concerned about the role the artist. She is currently working on a project where she is looking at storytelling and the myths related to the artist. Working with the documentary Kunstakademiet
i Oslo Halvorsen in collaboration with filmmaker Astrid Johansen
conducted interviews with more artists. Many of the ones who were
interviewed could tell about loneliness, social anxiety and a problematic
relation between the colleagues. The myth of the artist has been
constructed through stereotypical ideas about how the genius through
intoxication and sleep deprivation reaches mysterious highs by
working alone in an attic. Halvorsen is looking at strategies in
the storytelling connected to the artist role 2010. In addition
she is teaching at the Academy in Oslo, KHiO and in Bergen, KHIB.
Since 2001 Halvorsen has been involved in numerous projects as
an curator, artist, and writer.
Line Halvorsen was recommended by Will Bradley, a curator, writer, and musician based in Oslo, Norway. Read Ms. Halvorsen's blog posts. |
