Registration deadline: 1 February (registration form)

Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder (LKV) in collaboration with VISP are pleased to invite you to a three-day course in welding/metalwork at LKV. VISP is the competence and network organization for the visual art field and works to improve and facilitate the conditions for the production and dissemination of visual art.

The course provides a basic introduction to welding metal with a focus on welding black steel (ordinary steel). There is room for four participants per course and course participants get access to the metal workshop for the entire course period (1 week from the start of the course) to work / practice on their own.

During three evenings/days, the course participants will have the opportunity to learn welding and welding methods and possibly other welding methods if necessary. Course instructor Ulf Amundstad is an experienced welder who will facilitate as best as possible.

The course is suitable for beginners, but also those who think they can weld, but it was a long time ago now, and the last time you welded, the weld looked like a hole.

The course starts with a small theory part and HSE intro, focus on safety and protective equipment, as well as safety routines in the workshop, but most of all you will learn in various ways how to make metal fit together.

The course is not designed for you to produce something, but to learn and test different welding methods. The course is supported by Trondheim Municipality’s corona funds and costs NOK 1,000 for professional artists.

Course participants do not need their own protective equipment, but course participants should have and bring their own work gloves and suitable shoes. LVK has welding masks, welding gloves etc. for the course participants.

Regarding registration for course 2 in March: The course can run in the evening instead of during the day if there is a great need for that.

Questions about courses can be directed to Per Kristian Nygård at nygaardpk@gmail.com

Registration is only accepted via the registration form below. Due to the very limited number of places, we will make a selection of the registered artists based on the required letter of motivation. At the beginning of February, you will receive a reply whether you have been allocated a place on the course.

A new journey of a nomadic series
An exhibition attempts to advance lines
Under lines of the imprinted traces of tangible memories
Under lines of the drifts before and after
Under lines of the indulgence of hearing
Under lines of the naturally formed
Under lines of the uncontrollable (re)shaping
Under lines of the adjusted sights
Under lines of the uncertainty from the semi-translucent
An united expedition on brighter days

Artist presentation

In residence: Yasen Vasilev // In house: Per Stian Monsås

Where: LKV’s GYMSAL
When: January 26, 13:00 – 14:00
Language: English

Welcome to the presentation by writer and performance-maker Yasen Vasilev, who is in residence at Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder (LKV) until the end of March; and by visual artist Per Stian Monsås, who is a tenant at LKV since November 2020.

Yasen Vasilev (1988, Bulgaria) is educated at the theatre academies of Sofia and Shanghai, and works internationally in the field of contemporary dance and performance as a maker, dramaturg and critic. He is a regular contributor for Springback magazine, collaborator of Belgian choreographer Ehsan Hemat and co-founder of Radar Sofia, a residency for playwrights, dramaturgs and artists at risk. During his residency at LKV, Vasilev will work in collaboration with DansiT with a group of local dancers on a Norwegian version of his performance “Impossible actions”. The piece will be presented in Rosendal teater on Feb 11-12th. For the second half of the residency he will be joined by choreographer Ehsan Hemat (Iran/Belgium) to research together Hemat’s new solo “everything brings us back to the body”

Per Stian Monsås (1990, Norway) draws his inspiration from the surrounding environment and experiences connected to everyday life. In the mundane, he tries to find those hidden gems take makes life interesting and highlights them through abstraction. Within his material and spatial practice, this abstraction can present itself as a wide variety of expressions. His work aims to cultivate experiences that can connect, and shared between, the viewer/participant and the work.Monsås graduated with a MFA from Trondheim Academy of Fine Art. His work has been commissioned for Hurtigruten (2018) and REV Ocean (2020). He was bestowed the Debutant Award at the 45th Trøndelags Exhibition in 2021. Monsås lives and works in Trondheim.
