Bruno Silva is Hordaland kunstsenter’s artist in residence in October 2016.
Hordaland kunstsenter was established in 1976 as the first artist-run art centre in Norway. The core of our activities is our exhibition program, in which commissioning new projects from international artists plays an important role.
Since 1987 Hordaland kunstsenter has hosted a residency program, which was initially open to Nordic region artists, but is now open to candidates of any nationality.
Our aim is to increase the visibility of contemporary art in and from Norway, and to create opportunities for exchange between arts professionals in different geographic and political contexts.
Guest presentation: Bruno Silva
Wednesday 19th of October at 18:00
Please bring your umbrella and join us for his guest presentation, which will take place just outside Hordaland Kunstsenter on Wednesday evening, followed by drinks and a conversation in the cafe.
All this rain cleans you, Image
All these showers wash your clothes
Don’t be naked
Assume your burst
All your ink gives you new forms
No time, no sense
Nothing freezes, nothing holds
Away from causality, image
And live your propos.

Bruno Silva was born in Porto, Portugal in 1986 and he currently lives in Clermont-Ferrand, France. He studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Porto and at the Ecole Supérieure d’Art de Clermont Métropole in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Silva’s work revolves around the idea of motion and travel by collecting forms and images that he transforms into various misappropriations. He uses a variety of media, including video, drawing, sculpture, printing and painting. Silva has recently had a solo show at the TARS Gallery in Bangkok, a collective exhibition at Flux Factory in New York, and he has participated in residencies at Studio 36 in Spike Island, Bristol, Residency Unlimited and Triangle Arts Associations in New York.
