I create art installations with inspiration from theatre aesthetics and rhetoric in today\u2019s identity politics.\n\nThe exhibition project consists of two main parts. 1) An installation of TelePrompters, a theatre prop in today\u2019s public speeches in the media-based and political spheres. 2) A photo series of actors preparing; behind the stage, in the makeup room, in hallways and waiting rooms, minutes before entering the stage and perform.\n\n\u201cIn the case of Nordby, we can imagine the theatre as a visual field that can place our role-plays in a location where suppressed aspects of life\u2019s theatricality return to an experience of \u2018not being able to act the part,\u2019 and thereby also a return of the void in the symbolic drama we are usually so wrapped up in.\u201d \nKjetil R\u00f8ed, Art Critic.\n\n\u201cIn the exhibition space, Nordby lets teleprompter-texts with good advice on how to obtain a persuasive behavior scroll before our eyes. We also catch actors in the space between the person they are and the character they will soon embody - much like the dichotomy between private and public selves. Nordby invokes a notion of expectancy about a performance about to happen.\u201d \nHanna G. Hattrem, Art Historian.","space":"A fluorescent-lit gallery space is ideal for the presentation of the photo series, also in relation to the free-standing TelePrompters. A video installation, containing a similar approach as the photo series, can also be projected as a third part of the project proposal, in a slightly darkened space. Each photo is 91x126cm (Gicl\u00e9e Print), and each TelePrompter, with tripod, has a dimension of 65x184x65cm.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":"https:\/\/larsnordby.com\/zinc-white-lard","cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Lars","surname":"Nordby","email":"post@larsnordby.com","dni_type":"Other","dni":"32826984","address":"Kirkebakken 12","city":"Hamar","nacionality":"Norwegian","country_id":"170","birthdate":"1988-12-24T22:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1988-12-24T22:00:00.000Z","telephone":"004799645203","web":"www.larsnordby.com"}
