FORUM MASTER NIGHT: LINDA MYKLEBUST
STREET TEXTURE – DOLK’S RELATIONAL VISUAL CULTURE
Myklebust focus on the Bergen based street artist Dolk, and her analysis reveal that Dolk’s works are inextricably tied to their surroundings. The works are a part of the texture of the street, and their existence is contingent on the urban wall.
Although street art originates from the cityscape, it is also incorporated into the art institution, where it is exhibited and preserved alongside the art historical canon. Myklebust asks how this institutional management influences the traditional view of street art as an independent and non-commercial artistic expression.
The presentation is given in Norwegian.
Linda Myklebust holds an MA of art history from The University of Bergen (2008). She has worked as a communication consultant at Rogaland Kunstmuseum in Stavanger for two years. Myklebust lives in Oslo, working as a substitute school teacher, and as lecturer and examiner of art history at NISS – Nordic Institute of Stage and Studio.

Master Night is a series of lectures where both MA students and recently graduated art historians present their MA dissertations to a public. With Master Night Hordaland Art Centre wishes to bridge the gap between the academic and practicing art scenes in Bergen, and create a place for interaction between students and professionals.
Eva Rem Hansen is responsible for this program and Master Night is made possible due to good help from the study committee of Art History at the University of Bergen.
