“Sol Obscura” Live Event in Norway Dec. 20, 2018

October 29, 2018

Sol Obscura is a live event performance spanning one of the shortest days of the year, when the Nordic sun is at its most minimal. S12 Galleri og Verksted will be the site where the sun is re-inserted into the day.

Date: December 20, 2018 19:30 – 23:30

Venue: Sol Obscura Live Event at S12, Bergen, Norway.

In honour of endings and new beginnings S12 in Bergen, Norway is hosting Sol Obscura – a live event performance spanning one of the shortest days of the year when the Nordic sun is at its most minimal. Rhode Island based artist Jocelyne Prince will use the S12 workshop to re-solarize the long hours of darkness into bursts of light. Akin to our ancestors’ winter solstice rituals, the play between light and dark suggests the infinite continuum of beginnings and ends that mark our lives.

Percussionist Owen Weaver (Brooklyn, NY) will be accompanying the performance. Weaver is known for his use of recycled objects, homemade instruments and electronic sounds that construct a kaleidoscopic sound world.
