If you ever have questions about our programme, archives or about Hordaland Art Centre in general, you should get in touch with EVA MATHILDE REM HANSEN who is responsible for information and public programmes. She graduated from the University in Bergen 2008 with an MA in Art History.
All our exhibitions and other activities are produced with utmost care and consideration by PETRA RAHM, who is HKS’ coordinator. Petra is also an artist, sharing studios at Dokken with a group of Bergen based artists. During Petra's maternity leave Aleksander Stav will act as our coordinator.
In team with our technical crew ALEKSANDER STAV or KJETIL FRØYSA our exhibiting artists can focus on their contribution to our programme, knowing that the production will be in their safe hands. Aleksander is an artist recently graduated from the MA programme at Bergen National Academy of the Arts, while Kjetil is also a technician at Kunstskolen i Bergen.
Every weekend the gallery space and bookshop will be kept open to the public by artist KAREN SKOG and MARI REINHOLT AAS. Their perspectives on the art on display can be enjoyed while visiting our weekend café.
All our finances are kept in order by ANNBJØRG FJELLHAUG who knows the most intimate details of our operations.
LINN KURÅS makes sure that Hordaland Art Centre always is a pleasant and clean place to visit.
