Plattform: Edgar Calel

On the occasion of opening Ni Musmut (It’s Breezing) by Edgar Calel, Bergen Kunsthall invites you to a conversation between the artist, Stefan Benchoam from Proyectos Ultravioleta and Bergen Kunsthall’s former director Axel Wieder. Working in a variety of media, Calel celebrates the traditions and spirituality of his Mayan Kaqchikel heritage in Comalapa, Guatemala. His works are often grounded in attentive relationships with the earth and its elements, playfully challenging Western conventions and perspectives of permanence.

Plattform is Bergen Kunsthall’s series of conversations and debates with artists and prominent thinkers.
