Recently the Swiss art team, Peter Fischli and David Weiss, had a cool exhibition in Bergen. The artists are among the most influencing ones in Europe. Their artwork are characterized by easiness and irony. The exhibition includes photos, sculptures, videos, movies and installations.

In my opinion the most radical and elegant parody of the traditional art understanding is a piece they first showed in an group exhibition in New York in 1999. Three plates were leaning against the wall together with some tools and bowls laying around on the floor. The blocked room looked like a work site and first a week after the exhibition it was made known that this had been Weiss and Fischlis contribution to the show! All of the objects is made out of a light polyurethane foam. The perfect camouflage of the piece brings forward questions about the essence of art. Imitations are obviously, historically the nature of art and the artists allege that the piece don´t qualify as art.

Earlier Boine has created and called forth magnificent moodtravels by her severe shifts. This time it is the executions that carries her musical expression. To some extent the melodies reminds me of Bel Canto, Peter Gabriel and Biosphere. For those of you who enjoyed “Sacred Spirits” this is worth listening to.

On her new album, “Idjagiedas” (In the hand of the night), it is the first time Boine uses her two songs in her imagineary language. Boine tells that “this language is not made by the brain, it is made by the heart and soul. The language that appears is a result of feelings, it is the language of the soul. The Lappmusic is much about finding the primitive force in yourself”. Boine also sings in English and Lapp/Sami at this album.

Mari Boine is born in the small town Gámehhisnjárga in Karasjok(Norway). Her debut came in 1985 with the album “JaskatvuoDa Manná”. Boine is an important personality in the figth for the Lapps(natives) rights.
