Performing on a set designed by Lina Viste Groenli, Nils Bech will combine sparse acapella versions of contemporary and classical music and well-crafted electronica in a conceptual stage show laced with cabaret and contemporary dance, in collaboration with saxofonist Bendik Giske.
Nils Bech is a classically trained singer with a focus on performance. An integral part of the Norwegian art and music scenes, he has taken part in exhibitions in New York, Zürich, Basel, Berlin, London, Vienna, and Oslo, as well as performing with his own band, Nils Bech.
Lina Viste Groenli (b. Oslo, Norway, 1976) creates objects that delve into the dilemmas and discrepancies of semiotics. She graduated from the National Academy of Fine Art in 2003 and in 2005 participated in a residency at IASPAS, Stockholm. She has shown extensively throughout Europe as well as in the United States and Japan, including exhibitions at Alagon Gallery, Chicago, Gaudel de Stampa, Paris, Galerie Micky Schubert, Berlin, Unge Kunstneres Samfund, Oslo and the Mukojima Expo, Tokyo.
Presented by Art Since the Summer of 69. These events were made possible by the generous support of Office for Contemporary Art Norway (OCA) and the Royal Norwegian Consulate General in New York. Part of Lust Weekend.
There will be a second performance at Art Since the Summer of ‘69 on Saturday November 7 at 7 p.m.
