About the artists and their practice: 

Frauke Materik is an artist, gardener and landscape architect. She is educated at Byam Shaw, Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design in London, Herrenhäuser Gärten, Hannover and University of Greenwich, UK. She is a member of PAB Performance Art Bergen, and has exhibited and done performances in countries like Norway, the UK, Denmark, the US, Germany and Switzerland. Materlik also runs the cultural meeting spot «Kunstverein Lunden» on the German west coast. 

Materlik's artisitc practice builds on inspiration from gardening, horticulture and the world of botany. She works in dialogue with her surroundings and combines performance, installations and horticulture to explore and navigate complex environments.  

Kristen Rønnevik is an artist and gardener based in Haugesund, Norway. Educated at University of Westminster, London, Hull School of Art & Design, Hochschule Bildende Künste Braunschweig, Germany and has an MA from Malmö Konst Akademi. He has participated in exhibitions and festivals in England, the US, Germany, Hungary, Estonia, Denmark, Sweden and Norway.  

Rønnevik works with interdisciplinary, project-oriented, relational art and performance. He often moves the art out of the gallery space. He choreographs spaces and situations, where the intention is to create a new awareness of how to experience landscapes and environments. 

Kjersti Austdal is based in Jæren, Norway. She has an MA of Fine Art and is educated in Oslo and Prague. She is Chair of the board of performance Art Stavanger, and has previously exhibited at the National Gallery in Oslo, Rogaland Art Center, Verdens Ende Kunstforening, Akureyri Art Museum, Iceland, The Mothership, New York, Stone Bell House Gallery, Prague and National Center for Contemporary Arts, in Moscow. In 2016 she designed the official Norwegian 20 kroner coin, Norgespulsen (The Norwegian Pulse).

Austdal collects man-made objects, which she deconstructs and reconstructs into sculptures, installations and performance-costumes. She considers this practice a kind of contemporary archaeology - the objects we surround ourselves with say a great deal about who we are. With a mythological perspective on the technological development, she touches on subjects such as trans-humanism, consumerism and the cycle of time.
