Spectres of Space: A focus on the work of Nazare Soares
Register Here:
Screening, live music, conversation and bar (licence pending)
We don’t know what the future brings, or when we can meet, where we can meet, how we can meet, in the coming months, so we are taking this opportunity to come together and to show a lot of really wonderful art and we hope you will join us. There will be a bar, there will be the lovely Nazare Soares (by zoom), there will be conversations, there will be images - most of them moving, though not always swiftly.

We were incredibly disappointed when we had to cancel Nazare’s performance screening ‘I am Half Sick of Shadows’ due to the impossibilities of safe travel for Nazare and the musicians attached to the project - particularly as Sarah and Nazare have been working for over two years to bring the project to Tromsø. Instead of canceling the project outright, we invited Sarah and Nazare to present her work in a different context and have a conversation around the process, themes, and ideas running through Nazare’s work.
Screening of the films 'Red Voyage for a Solo Bass' (20:53) and 'The Bells Toll' (24:08) by Nazaré Soares

Nazaré Soares (Spain) is an artist and curator, working around notions of invisibility, imperceptibility, and magic engineering. Her research and practice When the Spell is Broken, from 2014 and onwards, is developed from her interest in systems of interconnectivity deeply grounded in topographies of imaginary spaces. How mediation and translation processes within ontologies of these systems coexist with the body, language, landscape, and invisible architectures. Her practice interweaves, psychoacoustic and cinematic spaces, speculative design and performance arts, incubating spaces for ritual, and incubation means.
Bernt Simen Lund works as a cellist in the Arctic Philharmonic Orchestra in Tromsø, and also works as arranger and composer.
