This is a story about Inge Lehman, who worked at the department of seismology at the Geodetical Institute of Copenhagen in the 1930s. She had a ‘special feeling for earthquakes’...

Titled The Core of I.L., the performative lecture merges sound, science, and metaphysical exploration through the imaginative retelling of the lives of two women. Initiated by a chance encounter with archival letters, Christensen investigates the inner lives of these historical women and the invisible forces that connect them.

All performances are free and open the the public. However due to the intimate nature of the performance, we are only able to accommodate 10 guests at a time.

Wednesday, October 25 at 19:00
Thursday, October 26 at 19:00
Friday, October 27 at 19:00
Saturday, October 28 at 13:00, 15:00, and 17:00

The Core of I.L. was commissioned specifically for the Kunsthall by Heather Jones and created on-site, with sound design by Erik Medeiros. The production of this work was generously supported by BEK–Bergen senter for elektronisk kunst, Norsk kulturråd, Vederlagsfondet.
