B3IG3, in collaboration with Rogaland Kunstsenter, present an art experience out of the ordinary at Clarion Hotel Stavanger. Come and experience art works by Hanni Kamaly and Nils Ekman with B3IG3 as a host. B3IG3 is an exhibition concept by the norwegian artist Andreas Knag-Danielsen, where a drag character guides you to an art exhibition in a hotel room. It is the third time B3IG3 is being arranged and we are proud to present the project in Stavanger.
Kamaly and Ekman present a site specific exhibition in a hotel room with sculptures and video works. The title for the exhibition is “Ebb and Flow”, in norwegian “Flo and Fjære”. Kamaly’s sculptures are long and fragile. They represent otherness and alienation. The stranger, or the other, is a figure we often meet in popular culture, storytelling and in our everyday life. How do “we” relate to the other? The abstract sculptures of Kamaly is moving between dead and living material, industrial and organic, in a floating state, as the tide's continuous state of mind. These synthesized figures meets the hyperrealistic videos of Ekman in the hotel room, and in this interaction a new hole emerges that can only be experienced one night only at Clarion Hotel Stavanger.
The night will be lead by B3IG3 which is a curatorial and performative plattform created by Knag-Danielsen. B3IG3 always takes place at a hotel and the hosts are different characters created and performed by Knag-Danielsen, based on drag aesthetics, ideas of otherness and the meeting between the digital and physical world.

Rogaland Kunstsenter is an artist-run institution for visual art located in Stavanger, Norway. The art center develops and performs art projects. Rogaland Kunstsenter works with the project Luringen as a part of its programming. Luringen is based on the Norse god Loke, that was a “luring” (a fool, a tricker). He changed his gender, among many things, to accomplish his goals. Luringen looks as queer as a wide term, that goes beyond sexuality and gender. Luringen was arranged for the first time in Bogota, Colombia, during the KUIR festival. Here, Luringen showed works by A.R.M., Melanie Bonajo, Christophe Hamaide Pierson, Trygve Luktvasslimo and Tori Wrånes, organized by Geir Haraldseth and Stina Högkvist. The next editions was presented during Haugaland Pride with Charlotte Tarantino, Herman Mbamba and Jone Tou, in collaboration with Haugaland Pride, Rom For and The Art Scene, and at Rogaland Kunstsenter with Trygve Luktvasslimo, in collaboration with Stavanger på Skeiva and FRI (The Society for Gender and Sexual Diversity) rogalandkunstsenter.no

Costume design/hair/make-up: Andreas Knag-DanielsenCostume production: Johan Lundin, Andreas Knag-Danielsen
The costume is based on the artwork Swipe (2017) by Andreas Knag-Danielsen where the artist scanned his finger tips in the same tempo as the light beam of the scanner. This technique creates lines which mimic what a smartphone ”sees” as we swipe our fingers across the glass of our smartphones.
