"To your ears"
For one meter, two networks become one.
An audio installation by Gregoire Rousseau.
Exhibition at Galleri Bergman 20/05/09-31/05/09.
Uudenmaankatu 23C (Inner yard).
Reception on Wednesday 20.06 6pm-8pm, and performance at 6pm.
Abstract
A mass distribution network can be defined as a network able to reach constantly a great majority of the people in a given area. When no area is specified, one can assume the given area is nation or world wide. An electricity socket appears as a front end of the mass power distribution and a TV, or radio, as front end of a mass media distribution
Originally thought between the two rounds of the 2007 French presidential election, the work functions on a three party’s attraction/fear structure. The repulsive power network, the attractive media and its visible switch creates a critical situation. At once, for one meter, mass power and mass media distribution networks become a single mass media distribution power network, directly available to your ears.
"To your ears" installation brings together the mass power distribution and mass media distribution networks. The modified power strip to carry sound signal over power line is a product called "Sound Sharing Device". For one meter, the two networks become one.
Performance
The performance is based on the reverse concept of the actual installation; power electricity through audio device.

Anders Bergman
4/4-10/5 2009. Opening reception Fri the 3rd of April 18.00-20-00
Anders Bergman has a background as a craftsman painter. Tools, materials and aesthetics from that field are here combined with bodily movement.
- I am interested in what muscle memory is and where it origins from. Where the distinction is between one’s own body and the greater body. Paint and putty are applied to the board and canvas with a putty knife. This gives me a physical resistance pretty similar to what I experience while playing the base guitar. In the same way here, the creation of the
movement offers a new direction for improvisation.
There are many layers of stories before us, as if something had excavated from an ancient past or a futuristic world. The exhibition contains paintings, drawings and objects. Anders Bergman has a Master Degree in fine arts from the Academy of Fine Arts of Helsinki in 2006.

Anders Bergman on taustaltaan maalari ja käsityöläinen. Alan työkalut, materiaalit ja estetiikka yhdistyvät näyttelyssä ruumiilliseen liikkeeseen.
- Olen kiinnostunut siitä, mitä lihasmuisti on ja mistä se saa alkunsa. Missä kulkee raja yksilön oman ruumiin ja kollektiivisen kehon välillä. Maalia ja kittiä on levitetty pahville ja kankaalle kittiveitsellä. Tämä menetelmä antaa fyysistä resistanssia, samankaltaista, jota tunnen soittaessani bassoa. Liikkeen luominen antaa samalla tavoin uuden suunnan
improvisaatiolle.
Edessämme on monta kerrosta tarinoita, aivan kuin jotakin olisi kaivautunut esiin muinaisesta enneisyydestä tai futuristisesta maailmasta. Näyttely koostuu maalauksista, piirroksista ja objekteista. Anders Bergman on valmistunut maisteriksi Helsingin Kuvataideakatemiasta
vuonna 2006.

Anders Bergman har en bakgrund som yrkesmålare. Verktyg, material och estetik från nämnda område kombineras här med kroppsrörelse.
- Jag är intresserad av muskelminnet och dess ursprung. Vart går gränsen mellan ens egen kropp och den större kroppen. Färg och spackel appliseras på pannåer och duk oftast med spackel spade, det ger mig ett fysiskt motstånd som påminner om att spela basgitarr. På ett liknande sätt här så föder rörelsen nya möjligheter och riktningar för improvisasion.
Skikt av historier liknande en arkeologisk utgrävning från en svunnen tid eller en analkande framtid presenteras för oss. Utställningen innehåller målningar, teckningar och objekt. Anders Bergman erhöll Magister examen i Bildkonst vid Bilkonstakademin i Helsingfors 2006.
