Steam of exhaustion rises where form falters. Plumes spew fractured, molten signs. Soaking in sludge. Laze and ash ignite radiance. Localized cycles collapse, eruption columns falter, and the crater hollows. Burnout shadowing the terrain. The essential risk of decay. The corrosive reminder of survival.

Eirik Falckner and Slekke Wørld are members of GRAA collective, alongside among others Piotr Chrzanowski, who we want to thank for his input and contributions to this exhibition. GRAA deconstructs the graffiti medium by synthesizing a post-vandalism approach to performance, material based art and site-specific interventions in public and hidden spaces. Carving out space to make tangible things which transcend societal labels and constraints, connecting with processes of deep change and transitions in life.

Eirik Falckner lives and works in Bergen, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in art from the Faculty of Art, Music, and Design at the University of Bergen in 2021. Falckner has exhibited at Kraft, Kunsthall Grenland, Bærum Kunsthall, and Galleri Fjalar, among others. His works have been purchased by KODE and private collections. Falckner received a three-year working grant in 2022 and 2024.

Slekke Wørld was born in Belgium and lives in Oslo, Norway. Their work includes art, curation, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Wørld has exhibited at Tokyo Biennale, BO, Tenthaus, NITJA, and Komplot among others. Recently they realized performances for Latvian Center for Contemporary Art and the City of Oslo Art Collection. Wørld is a member of Tenthaus collective since 2019, and of GRAA collective since 2022. Since 2018 they annually perform a participatory spring ritual with Bart Van Dijck.

The exhibition is curated by Nora Stangebye and Luca Sørheim.
