Testing video projections, Surnadal Billag, September

During a few days working in Surnadal, I used the opportunity to test project some new video works in the large project room at Surnadal Billag. The Atmospherics 11 (remake/remodel) is the latest collaborative work with Trond Lossius, and is a remix of materials used in the project that has been ongoing since 2014. The Atmospherics 12 is a work in progress, a four channel 4K video installation intended for installation with four projections and multi channel surround sound. Also tested was one of the videos from Take Me To The River, the recent exhibition with Jon Arne Mogstad, previously only shown on a monitor, but also suited to large scale projection.

Take Me To The River closing event

The exhibition Take Me To The River, paintings by Jon Arne Mogstad and video by Jeremy Welsh, had its final day on Thursday 20 August. The show ended with a closing event and a conversation between gallery director Madeleine Park and the two artists. The exhibition, which ran from 13 July to 20 August, at Møre og Romsdal Kunstsenter, was well received and will hopefully be shown again at a new location in the future.

After the lockdown period, exhibitions started up again this summer. There are two current shows, one at Nordenfjelske Kunstindustrimuseum in Trondheim, and Møre og Romsdal Kunstsenter in Molde. Showing in Trondheim is "Mind is Moving IV" a composition by Michael Pisaro, performed by Michael Francis Duch on solo double bass, with projections and video production by Jeremy Welsh. The work is shown within the exhibition "Ta Deg Tid / Take Your Time" curated by Solveig Lønmo. The exhibition is open until late January 2021. There was also a short performance by Duch and Welsh at the exhibition opening in June.

The show in Molde, "Take Me To The River", features paintings by Jon Arne Mogstad and video by Jeremy Welsh, and is this year's Molde Jazz Festival exhibition. On 20 August there will be an artist talk and finissage.

La Luna Asoma

An installation by Jeremy Welsh at Galleri Ventana, Bergen. The gallery is housed in a street-level window and specialises in showing small artworks and installations that are intended to be seen at night. La Luna Asoma is the title of a poem by Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca. The poem is included in the installation, as text projected onto the window. The other elements in the work are two video still lives. One of these is shown on a CRT tv in 4:3 format and the other on a digital photo frame in widescreen 16:9 format.

The Moon Rising

When the moon rises
bells fade
and impenetrable paths
appear.

When the moon rises,
the ocean covers the earth
and the heart feels
as an island within infinity.

No one eats oranges
under the full moon.
One must eat
green fruit and ice.

When the moon rises
with his hundred identical faces,
the silver coin
within his pocket weeps.
