From the exhibition announcement:

Power relations and power structures have become an even more relevant and hotly debated topic following the acts of terrorism committed in Oslo on 7/22. Naturally, Norwegian artists are also profoundly affected by these tragic incidents, and some elements of the proposed program can be seen as artistic contributions to a collective mourning process.

ACTION-ReACTION is structured around RE-ACTION, a performance by Kompani iRo that explores the phenomenon of power by probing the ways in which power dynamics affect us. Its interactive structure allows the performers to leverage the viewers' participation to call attention to the relations that emerge among them, in the dancers' relationship with the audience and between performers and onlookers. In dialog with this time-based piece, a selection of works of visual art that also explores similar themes.
