We are delighted to welcome Artica’s new resident Augustin Maurs

Augustin Maurs, a French musician and composer based in Berlin. His work combines conceptual, performative and collaborative practices, often taking the musical experience outside of the musical field. 

During his residency, Augustin was researching for a new commission by Bergen Assembly. The piece is a part of The Coalman section of Bergen Assembly 2022 and is based on the histories of coal and mining. The composition will be created in collaboration with Norwegian choirs, electronic artists and musicians, with input and material from his stay on Svalbard. The project will include a concert performance in the Bergen Cathedral and an audio-visual installation in Gyldenpris kunsthall in Bergen from September 8th to November 6th 2022.

Augustin was nominated by our key partner Office for Contemporary Art Norway (OCA). To keep up to date on all our residents make sure to follow us on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) and check our news page regularly.
