2.Decadence and Decay exhibition on Wednesday at 19:00 at Atelier Nord , Jade Boyd experiments in the project room with a collection of audio-visual contraptions and effects.

Free of Charge.

3. This Wednesday at Stenersens museum you can see an exhibition " 2 Move/ Migratory Aesthetics". Migratory Aesthetics concerns the movement of people and the movement of images and how both movements, real and imaginary, provoke 'movements of sprit' or 'emotions'. It is, then, a double movement: images which move and which move us. The aesthetic dimension of the exhibition develops in two directions: the influence of immigrants in the culture of host countries, especially in the public space; and the influence of these countries in the subjective relationships of immigrants with their homelands.

I'ts until 11. Mai 2008. and cost 25NOK for students or 45NOK for not students.
The address is Munkedamsveien 15, Oslo.
