THE PINE 3D is a high definition video with a 3D representation of a famous painting by Lars Hertervig, "Gamle Furutrær" (Old Pinetrees, 1865, 64 x 74,5 cm). The videowork suggests that Hertervig, a 19th century painter from the Stavanger region, should be viewed as an early multimedia artist. Strong 3D spatial concepts and even hints to possible motionpicture play parts in his work and provide for smoth transition into 3D virtual reality. It is hard to believe, but Hertervig has long been considered the typical romantic dreamer. Anyway, the pictorial structure of his work is often remarkably solid and clear cut. more

WOOD PRINTS, the print exhibition, takes place at an art institute outside of Stavanger, situated on the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean. Wood prints are works in traditional woodprinting technique. Lately, nothing is cut, and the wood texture alone provides for the imprint. The intricate growth patterns in wood are actually recordings, organized in the coordinates of time and space.
