Limboland: Film & Video by Bjørn Melhus is a selection from 11 years of work by artist Bjørn Melhus. Melhus was included in the 1999 Venice Biennale, and is touring throughout the U.S. with this program. Limboland is a chronological journey through different realities in which the narratives suggest a desire to pass from the suspension of non-being into being. Included are “Toast” (1986), “Cornflakes” (1987), “America Sells” (1990), “Jetzt” (1993), “Ich Weiss Nicht Wer Das Ist” (1991), “Weit Weit Weg” (1995), and “No Sunshine” (1997). Bjørn Melhus will be in attendance. For more info see http://www.aurorapictureshow.org.
