Lydgalleriet
Lydgalleriet is an exhibition platform for sound art and sound related art practices, situated in Bergen, Norway. Initiated in 2005, and later established formally in 2007, it is still the only permanent exhibition platform for sound art in the Nordic countries. Lydgalleriet explores the abundance of sound-based art practices and auditive cultures through installational gallery shows, live electronic concerts and performance, and manages a small self-publishing activity.
Lydgalleriet moved into its own premises in Strandgaten 195 during the summer of 2020. The new space holds a two-plan room structure, acoustically suitable for presenting a variation of sound based art forms, and also includes a custom built PA system designed by Norsk Radiofabrikk. Lydgalleriet rents out equipment for sound-based art projects and exhibitions.
Gallery Manager: Julie Lillelien Porter.
The founding partners of Lydgalleriet: Bjørnar Habbestad, Erlend Hammer, Jørgen Larsson, Maia Urstad, Roar Sletteland, Steinar Sekkingstad, Thorolf Thuestad, Trond Lossius.
