RUMOURS & MURMURS: An Archive Project is a curatorial project initiated by curator and writer Ruby Eleftheriotis in collaboration with Hordaland Kunstsenter (HKS). In this project Bergen-based artists are invited to explore and engage with HKS’s public archives, resulting in solo exhibitions woven from the archive, that are placed in conversation with existing material from the archive, or the structures of archives itself.
By activating the archive, RUMOURS & MURMURS creates space for a multiplicity of voices, opening pathways for re-imagining, re-reading, and re-organizing knowledge.
In treating the archive as alive, contingent and always in flux, this project values the ephemeral, conversation and collaboration as essential limbs to the archival body - aspects that also resist static forms of archiving.
RUMOURS & MURMURS invites us to consider not only what archives hold, but how we can contextualise and re-imagine ourselves and our work in relation to the archive. It invites us to embrace a circularity, to re-visit and re-contextualise. It is an ar- chive not of closure, but of possibility - its presence felt in whispering rumours and every new rumour it sets in motion.
