*Happy new year everyone!

In 2012 we will continue our activities on a more nomadic based platform. We will use our Mongolian Ger (and other spaces) as a projectspace on various locations in Hardanger, Norway, Finland and Iceland, for working on site with international contemporary artists and performers. For an updated program, please have a look at our homepage.

Due to lack of funding, we were unfortunately forced to discontinue the Hardanger Kunstsenter at it's current location in Norheimsund, Norway, after 2 years of volunteering with over 10 exhibitions with a nice mix of local and international artists, lectures and screenings. We will however continue to run several projects in the region (see our news section).

In the gallery space four local artists will start Gallery Puls, with frequent exhibitions.

*First Hardanger Film Festival – Hardanger Kunstsenter -

On November 14th 2010 the first Hardanger Film Festival took place in Alvik at Alvik Kulturscene - Bedehuset in cooperation with The One Minutes (we showed a selection of the best One Minutes). We have a focus on short art movies (under 15 min. preferably under 10 min.). The films will be shown from a HD-projector. A selection will later be shown in the cinema in Norheimsund and during the travelling art-project Parousia in a Mongolian Ger on various locations around Hardanger (more info on our site). A small but select audience voted for the best movie which will received the first golden apple award made by local artist Thora Solveig Bergsteinsdottir.

Winner of the first award is Simone Hooijmans who will show new works in Hardanger Kunstsenter in February 2011.
