BJARNE MELGAARD Considering collegial exchange, informal peer-to-peer/practice-to-practice learning, and attempts at friendship as a fundamental part of our remit, UKS introduced a new, weekly walk-in-workshop in January 2019, called HOW TO PRACTICE? Starting off the workweek every Monday morning at 10am during exhibition periods, rotating local and international practitioners in the cultural field teach their conspicuous version of this essential question, serving up their tricks and toolboxes, fears and desires, excel sheets, or yoga positions as UKS serves free coffee. For the 24th HOW TO PRACTICE?, UKS has invited Bjarne Melgaard (b. 1967). Since the mid 90s, Melgaard has developed a signature style in which his personal life has always played a significant role in the creation of art. For this walk-in-workshop he will use writings for his upcoming novel as the starting point for an open discussion about the misconceptions, benefits, and drawbacks of life as a—now famed—artist. #24 HOW TO PRACTICE? took place on 4.11.2019 www.uks.no/archive/how-to-practice/ www.uks.no/archive/24-htp-bjarne-melgaard/
