Prøverommet goes high

In May, Prøverommet moves outdoors, up to Rundemanen where Galleri Kronborg is located – an artist-run exhibition platform whose focus is to create a place for conceptual and process-oriented artworks in an unconventional setting. The various programme items on this day will take place at the top, but also on the way to Galleri Kronborg. A slightly different Sunday outing awaits you!

Galleri Kronborg is a conceptual art gallery located near the peak of Rundemanen Mountain in Bergen, Norway. Operated as an artist-run, non-profit platform in collaboration with Bergen Municipality, the gallery utilizes the ruins of the former mountain hut, Kronborg, to host site-specific, process-oriented works. Its unique setting, with limited infrastructure and exposure to natural elements, challenges artists to explore themes such as site-specificity, ethics of intervention, and accessibility. Galleri Kronborg’s curatorial focus emphasises contemporary art practices that respond to these criteria, encouraging unconventional approaches, and reaching diverse audiences.  

Prøverommet is BIT’s experimental arena – a playground for all creative people in Bergen. This special and beloved concept has existed since 1998 and is a low-threshold environment for trying out new artistic material in front of an audience. Dance, theatre, poetry, visual art, music; all formats are welcome.

Route: The walk starts by the Upper station in Mount Fløien goes via Bjørnebu and then to Galleri Kronborg. Check the route on Google Maps.  

How to dress: We recommend hiking shoes or solid trainers and layers of clothing. Wool always works best as the inner layer.
Food and drinks:  Bring your own food and beverages. We’ll make a bonfire at the top, so feel free to bring things for a barbeque. There will be coffee, tea and light snacks at the top.

We recommend you book a free ticket to this event so we have an overview of how many are joining. Any questions can be directed to frida@bitteater.no

Lost (in Bergen)

By Marte Dahl

Lost is a travelling performance project, begun in 2024. The performance is an interplay between material, movement, body and environment. The mountain Rundemannen in Bergen will be the fourth location where Lost will be shown. 

Marte Dahl lives and works in Oslo. Dahl explores movement and interaction through sculptural costume design, materials, objects, and performance. She holds an MFA from Bergen Art Academy (2022) and a BFA from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (2018). Her work has been shown at Galleri Blaker Skanse, Visningsrommet USF, Akureyri Art Museum, Studio17, Ex Teresa Arte Actual, Hordaland Kunstsenter/Bergenhus Festning, Kunsthall 3,14 and Kunstbanken Center for Contemporary Art.

The Hidden Life of Lost and Found 

By Vibe Kilde

Vibe Kilde will present her work on the way up to Galleri Kronborg. The Hidden Life of Lost and Found is a sculptural work that is based on the tradition of hanging forgotten gloves and hats in hiking areas, in the hope that they will find their rightful owner. It is a fabulating work that operates according to a “night at the museum” logic, about how the forgotten objects mutate into beings and their way of life.  

Vibe Kilde is an artist from Rena (Norway) who works with sculptural installations and text. She has an MFA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2024. In 2022/23 she attended the Writing Academy in Bergen.

Jeg ser henne  

By Ronja Fismen Michelsen  

A person, a stone, a moment. To see and to be seen. A conversation.  

Ronja is a performance artist from Bergen with training in improvisation and ritual performance at the Alluna Danse school in France. Through intuitive movement, animism, and intentional action, she analyses social structures. By bringing her primal nature to the fore, she hopes to create space for rawness and human connection.

Hyper Noise Crystal Image  

Av Cameron Randall  

Hyper Noise Crystal Image is a sound installation in which field recordings from the installation site are recomposed in real time by machine learning software. The work was first installed at the eco-acoustics residency Endless Fields in Conceição de Tavira, Portugal (2025), and at Microscope in London, UK (2026). The presentation of the piece at Galleri Kronborg will be a playful and gestural evolution of the work where the recording, programming and installation will all unfold during the event’s duration.  

The revealing of the artist’s process propagates the idea of installation as performance, explicitly showcasing the human and non-human actors as constituent parts of the final outcome.

POSTPONED: it’s time!!! (symbolically) 

Mila Elisabeth Larvoll’s performance is postponed and will be shown at a different Prøverommet

Artist Mila Elisabeth Larvoll is drawn to questioning the purpose of artistic hope and exploring the imaginative freedom of the (western) art space, through symbols of hope such as kites and artificial flowers. These symbols ask what it means to construct hope artificially while maintaining its sincerity. Mila’s media practice also asks how images produce credibility, and how that credibility gets used. Hovering between observation and intervention, both strands keep returning to the same boundary between documentation and construction, questioning what it means to make something that is real or hopes to be. 

Mila Elisabeth Larvoll is a Norwegian-Serbian artist working across participatory installation, media art, and relational practice. Their work explores how hope, culture, and belonging are negotiated in encounters between people, places, and systems. Out of years of critical questioning, a bitter and persistent utopianism has emerged.
