Centre for Women’s and Gender Research

Centre for Women’s and Gender Research (SKOK) is an interdisciplinary research centre. The centre’s main assignment is to strengthen the women and gender research at the University of Bergen.

Arve Håland, featured artist

Every semester, the Centre for Women's and Gender Research, invites an artist to exhibit their work in the seminar room at Ida Bloms house. This semester's featured artist is Arve Håland. In his paintings he uses effects that we would normally try to avoid - first of all rust, but also other kinds of discolouration - for a meaningful, aesthetic purpose.
