Hosted by CABLE






B3IG3 and RAM gallery present 0L0P PL00 L0P0 featuring new works by Rina Eide Løvaasen in a one-night-only performance and exhibition experience that mixes the art world with the hotel world, drag and digital technology. Guided by CABLE, you are invited to experience works by Malmö-based artist Rina Eide Løvaasen (NO) in a suite at the THE THIEF hotel in the middle of Oslo city.

Here is how it works:
👉 The event is free and open to anyone.
👉 Meet up in the hotel lobby between 18:00-21:00.
👉 You will experience being guided to view an exhibition inside a hotel room.
👉 Please note that you will be photographed and filmed as part of the event.


B3IG3 (read:beige) is run, hosted and produced by Andreas Knag-Danielsen (NO). For the seventh iteration, in collaboration with RAM gallery, Oslo gets a chance to enter the B3IG3 universe. Taking inspiration from the underwater cable system that provides the world with online usage, B3IG3 and Rina have developed cross-discipline work in glass, textile and digital printmaking as well as a new performance character under the name of CABLE. The event will later be transformed into an exhibition at RAM gallery resulting in an extensive video installation as well as various elements from B3IG3 headquarters. Check-in at the lobby and take your seat…


Rina Eide Løvaasen (b. 1988, Porsgrunn, Norway) works transdisciplinary with monumental oil painting as a base. Here the painting must transcend its own genre to achieve its potential. The projects also include variations of mixed-media objects, video installation and performative productions. Several projects contain collaborations with other artists and professionals and thus the practice has gained a greater range of materials and media. Eide Løvaasen's research is used to build up a mythology of its own, with an interwoven network of references. The works are often physically and allegorically made up of segments. Some are made inaccessible, to enhance others. In this way they also consist of what’s missing.

For her exhibition in collaboration with B3IG3 x RAM she presents works of glass where the liquid properties of the glass are preserved in the cooled form of the material. The work also contains textile crafts and stone cut and polished by hand.

Eide Løvaasen has an MFA from Malmö Art Academy (SE) and is working towards solos at Belenius, Stockholm (SE); Babel, Trondheim (NO) and a public commission for Uppsala municipality (SE). Recent activity includes a solo at Kunsthall Grenland, Porsgrunn (NO) and participation in Public Art Agency Sweden’s touring show The Corona Collection. Previous works have been  shown at LNM, Oslo (NO); Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo (NO); Malmö Art Museum (SE); Liljevalchs, Stockholm (SE) and Prague Quadrennial (CZ). rinaeidelovaasen.com @rinaeidelovaasen

Andreas Knag-Danielsen (b. 1983, Bergen, Norway) works with digital media, performance, installation and video. His art practice explores the interrelationship between the human body and technology where he raises questions about identity, the internet and representation by using an interdisciplinary approach. In the last four years he has implemented the art of drag and make-up transformations into his work as well as working more with video and post-production using green screen, digital manipulation and social media as a space for experimentation. His art practice is constantly changing but will always be rooted in the idea of what it means to live in a human body in a post-human time, where he uses his own Queer body as a starting point. Since 2011 he has been collaborating with Arngrímur Borgþórsson as the artist duo Knaggi.  Andreas Knag-Danielsen also works as a curator. During 2015-17 he worked for the artist-run gallery Galleri CC in Malmö (SE). In 2018 he started the performative and curatorial project B3IG3 which at the moment is his main focus in his art practice. Selected exhibitions include; Museum Anna Nordlander (SE), Gyldenpris Kunsthall (NO), Fotografiska (SE), Kunstnernes Hus (NO) and B3IG3 collaborations with Gallery Extra (SE), Rogaland Kunstsenter (NO) and Entrée (NO). andreasknag-danielsen.com @knagster

The project is supported by The Norwegian Arts Council & The Municipality of Oslo.



CABLE (2022)
by Andreas Knag-Danielsen

The textile print was created by using a photo scanner as a camera – scanning the surface of a glass sculpture covered in chrome laquer by Rina Eide Løvaasen. Taking inspiration from the submarine cable system that provides telecommunication and online usage, the lamp of the scanner, by being in movement, creates irregularities and glitches across the surface mimicing melting metal, water textures and abstract shapes.
