The exhibition Voice to Voice by artist and curator Jingyi Wang opens with a performance during METEOR. Together with Kjartan Andersen from the theatre company Happy Gorilla, she activates the exhibition and acts out an interview situation in the specially designed interview pavilion used in the project. Voice to Voice is an interdisciplinary art project that spans video installation, live performances, and architectural design. It explores how people tend to assess and define their self-worth based on their work. Wang undertook several trips to interview people using a specifically designed mobile interview pavilion in Norway and China. The interviews and travels were documented and is presented through the exhibition. 

 

Bio

Jingyi Wang is an artist and curator based in Norway and China. Since 2014, she has worked as an independent performing artist in Norway. Using performance as a framework, her work is characterised by interdisciplinarity and community engagement. Her main works include the STATIC THEATER series – an original concept that composes a time flow with artworks instead of performers on stage – and Performative Event Series: Value Trilogy, in which she draws on real-life social event as references and recreates the rules to push the boundaries between reality and performance, inviting reflection on contemporary social paradigms. Her works have been presented in Bergen Internasjonale Teater, Bergen Kunsthall and Kunsthall 3,14 in Bergen and places such as TPAM in Japan, Harbourfront Center in Canada and ISPA in New York. She has been an editorial member of TURBA – The Journal of Global Practice of Curating Live Art since 2018, winner of Arte Laguna Prize in 2024.
