Audioglimt

Crab is Crap kicked off our autumn Audioglimt season, where musical artists are challenged to create their own live soundtracks to a chosen film. Since then Wrap has been enjoying a particularly busy autumn of events and productions. Our next Audioglimt concert is on the 30th September with the most extreme artists of noise, Tralten Eller Utpult, who will perform their own soundtrack to the Norwegian disaster movie Bølgen from 2015. As this date coincides with Bergen Assembly's Within series, curated by Tarek Atoui at the old central swimming pool (Sentralbadet) we will be moving Audioglimt to the unusually early time of 6 O'clock (18:00). Once again, however, we will be serving quality home made pizza, and we can assure you that there will be time to eat and catch the concert/film before catching the #12 bus into town for the concert at Sentralbadet. What more could any experimental music fan ask for on a friday evening??

New collaborators

We are very happy to have Runar Bruteig Olsen on board, to assist us in producing and coordinating Audioglimt.

We are also pleased to collaborate with our neighbours, Hyssingen Production School, who provided two of their finest video-production students to document Audioglimt. Their video of highlights from the Crab is Crap concert will be published online soon.


Autumn Program at Wrap

We are also proud to present two unique series of concerts involving the cream of Bergen's music scene this autumn. These series are:

Audioglimt, where musicians perform their own specially composed/improvised soundtracks to films.

...and Sonisk Selskap, a project designed to bring musicians together for creative sessions with local producers in the AV Lab, with informal Thursday evening concerts and monthly Saturday concerts where each months recorded highlights will be released on a new record label - co-owned by everyone who buys a ticket.


Crab is Crap opens the new Audioglimt series 26th August, with a cozy friday night of Pizza and TV

Crab is Crap is an unusual duo consisting of two of Bergen's most acclaimed drummers, Øyvind (with the dark hair) Skarbø, and Øyvid (with the light hair) Hegg-Lunde. For the opening of our new Audioglimt series, they have teamed up with guitarist Ole Andre Farstad, to create a unique audio-visual experience for anyone that has ever enjoyed the Norwegian TV and pizza experience on a friday night!

Avant-garde Jumble Sale

Following Crab is Crap featuring Ole Andre Farstad on 26th August, comes our Avant-garde Jumble Sale which will last non-stop from Saturday 27th to Sunday 28th August, with performances, DJ, food, and some of the craziest jumble (including scenography, obsolete audio-visual equipment, furniture and much much more) you have ever seen!


Dancing Tables in the Partisan Café Program “Spectres of Infrastructure” by Freethought at Bergen Assembly 2016

5th of September 2016, 17.00-21.00

What might a radical arts institution look like in Bergen?


The enactment of Bergen's Kunstplan in 1997 was followed by 18 years of rapid developments to the cities cultural infrastructure. A pioneering, entrepreneurial spirit has driven these developments, and enabled a new ecosystem of artistic production to grow, in spite of disruptive market forces.

How can this energetic and vibrant spirit continue to thrive and to serve the artist community on it's own terms, in an increasingly multifaceted cultural economy? How does the politics of property ownership affect Bergen's cultural infrastructure and creative spirit? And what alternatives might be explored?


Looking at these questions within an international as well as a national and local context, we aim to develop a broader understanding of where we might be heading, and what might be an appropriate vocabulary with which to communicate our positions within this dynamic landscape – particularly as we approach the re-evaluation of Kunstplanen in 2017.
