About Me

Kønst Magazine is an art magazine, a forum where young artists can show work outside traditional institutions. We want to attract a broad audience and put art out into the public arena. Our first edition was published on Friday 9th Febuary 2007.
The Magazine intends to foster a spirit of co-operation and create a network between young artists. We show all forms of contemporary art, we also attach a DVD with video.
ERASING DARKNESS
20th of November – 6th of December
Erasing Darkness is a group exhibition consisting of artworks made by eight young international artists. All the individual artists have created pieces with the title Erasing Darkness in mind using different types of mediums. Darkness by definition is absence of light. Metaphorically, abstract or concretely speaking, what does it mean to “erase the darkness”? By adding light into darkness, do we eliminate it? What is darkness? And how do each and one of us relate to it?
“Humans do not stand out from other animals in any other way, than the fact that they know they are not animals. This is the first appearance of light, and this is nothing else than visible darkness. It is the beginning, cause to see the dark is to assume its light. It is the end, because when pleading from what we see, one realizes that we are all born blind. With this knowledge the animal become human, through the ignorance it is born into.“ (Fernando Pessoa, from the book A hora do diablo)
Kønst is a Norwegian art magazine made of artists, a forum where young artists are invited to present their work and foster a spirit of cooperation, creating a network across national borders. In each issue we have a different approach selecting works and presenting the art. In Kønst #4 we are taking it further. For the first time we have gathered a group of colleagues to create a group exhibition. This is a selection from the new art generation, who all share a link towards Berlin. In the previous numbers of Kønst we were selecting interesting, already existing art pieces to present. Now we feel it is important to go deeper into each piece, emphasizing the process and being part of the creation. Berlin is one of the most experimental cities for art in Europe, nowadays a natural meeting point and a place to exchange ideas and opinions with others. The paper issue of Kønst will be based on the works from this exhibition, interviews and articles concerning Erasing Darkness. (www.koenst.com)
