Dear artist,

This is an open call from Performance Art Bergen (PAB). We are looking for one more artist in the program of the 7 th edition of the international performance art event Between Sky & Sea for 2025. This edition will focus on the theme of Uvissas tilstand/Flying Blind. For the second time PAB collaborates with Longva AiR north of Ålesund, Norway, hosting the festival format. The period for the event is 25.08. -08.09.2025.

The aim of Between Sky & Sea VII: Flying Blind is to give professional artists a production framework, where they can challenge our notions of matter in the span of minerals and organisms, science and speculation. The outcome should be a public performance for the audience at the end of the residency.

During a period of 14 days, the artists get the necessary resources in the process of developing work(s) of art in a collegial community. Meaning you will have access to professional video and still photographers, transport resources and people with local knowledge of culture and nature. In addition, we will have invited guests contributing with relevant theory. The topic the artists will work towards is our common material framework of existence; the landscape - shaped by natural and human forces alike. In particular, we will challenge you to investigate how to constitute meaning and communication between the human body and the Earth.

PAB will provide the invited artists with travel, accommodation and food during the stay. We also will pay you a small fee. This we cannot quantify today, because we are still waiting for response from funding applications.

Beside this open call, seven more artists will take part in this production-camp focusing on live performance art in a rural environment, in addition to possibilities of performance for camera and video.
