Chapter XXVIII

Time comes, with a higher speed every day. There is no time to loose, many ideas, diverse ongoing projects… as usual for Namtaru Creations.

Since January, I´m employed by NTNU University Library (Norwegian University of Science and Technology [link] ) and Gunnerus branch, to develop illustrations, graphics and art-related products for their project MUBIL, a digital laboratory [link]

Since the second half of January, I´m also actively participating in a semester course at "Art and common space" at the Academy of Fine Arts of Trondheim (KIT [link] ), working on a project and sharing very interesting ideas and concepts together with creative students of the Art Academy and the Architecture Academy. The project -guide book of Trondheim- is getting in shape and will be displayed in an exhibition at the Art Academy later this year.

In February I had my first solo exhibition with more than 20 drawings and paintings "The Rebirth" [link] at Galleri Artnest [link] , Trondheim. You can check the gallery "The Rebirth with FancyPants" [link] and see the documentary pictures taken by Monica Storvøl during the bodypainting of FancyPants for the opening and vernissage. Check also the pictures taken by Paula Lloveras [link] . The video of the acro-performance will be uploaded soon!

At the beginning of March I had the second solo exhibition of the year, with part of my ongoing project "Innbyggerne av Nidarosdomen" [link] , being displayed at the Public Library of Trondheim. You can see pictures from the exhibition here [link] .

A week ago I had the chance to be part of North Cultitude 62'63′ [link] at Atelier Ilsvika [link] , presented by the swedish artist Andreas Brännlund. North Cultitude 62'63′´s vision is to increase cooperation in the latitudes 62 and 63 with art and cultural projects. I´ve attended seminars and workshops and documented them for Atelier Ilsvika and had a bodypaint performance project together with FancyPants [link] . Thanks to the teamwork for their invitation, inspiration and time, and to all participants for coming. You can see the gallery sets on North Cultitude 62'63′ on Flickr [link] .

Now I´m busy working in the previously mentioned projects, plus some commissions and art production for contests and other projects, like Trondheim Open 2012.

I´m still active participating with illustrations for Filosofisk Supplement [link] , published by the University of Oslo. Their last number "Technology" published 5 images and more were recently sent for their next number "Subject and substance". A new gallery with images published in this magazine will be uploaded very soon!

… I forgot to mention that the photos from the serie "The Black Death" sent to Black+White Photography Magazine [link] last December, won the 2th price at The Imagery Warehouse. The images were published in their 1th issue of 2012 last January
