ANE HJORT GUTTU | MANIFESTO
Looped screenings of Ane Hjort Guttu’s film Manifesto, 2020.
Ane Hjort Guttu’s film Manifesto, 2020, (27 mins) speculates on the aims and purposes of institutional art education. Newly migrated into a university and an open-plan campus building, an art school feels cornered by a suffocating culture of surveillance and administration. Staff and students find ways to subvert control through secret operations. Drawing on her own experiences as an art teacher, Ane Hjort Guttu explores what is lost when creativity is replaced by order and provides action plans for how to be the playful rebel.
Ane Hjort Guttu is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Oslo. She works across a range of media, with a particular focus on text and moving images. Her practice explores the relationship between freedom and power, how we navigate public space, individual autonomy, and the social, economic, and political conditions of art.
