(artist and photographe in the local news paper)

We have planned to present the paintings of Patricia this summer in Asker
and in the best case in Asker Museum.
And in exchange we would like to present an artist from Asker Museum in Paris!

My intention is to connected Asker Museum and the association AAB based in Belleville Paris.
This is direct Networking!

hoping we can develop friendship relations, common projects and possibility of residence in Paris
and in ASKER for the artists of both countries and regions.

what is very special about tis connection is that
Belleville is also a valley in Paris
and the AAB every month of Mai present durring an event called " les portes ouvertes de belleville"
all the ateliers and artists of the association

www.ateliers-artistes-belleville.org

AAB means
ARTIST ASSOCIES DE BELLEVILLE

I am glad to connect Asker Museum and the artist of the valley of asker
with the artist of Belleville!

hoping in the futur we will be able to work together
and support each others projects and work
with warmth and enthousiasm!!
Bringing to our projects sponsors and support

It is a very creative and exciting possibility for both regions to connect and work together.

I believe that residence possibility with the fusion of artists, working together in Paris or in Asker
could be productive and inspiring
sharing experiences and hepling each other in the process of artistic goals.

Presenting myself

I have been working between France and Norway the last 5 years.
Living 10 years in Norway and 17 in Paris.

Creating bridges and nettwork between different groupes of artists, I have worked with very known ones to more underground, I make room for the amateurs and the professionals
keeping my aim in nettworking and planning for the futur.
different arts meet!
different countries also::
in the heart of Paris we often try to stick to the quarters where we are sure we will be able to experience the large mixity of people and we are very intersted in the cultural mixity and the issues this rises.
galleries, concert halls, festivals, associations, museums, ambassy and culturel centers have already participated and are informed of our events and concerts.

I have been working not only in the visual arts but also in the music, with the help and support of partners we have organised events, where the visual the music the dancing blend, and where different actors of the culturel arena are able to meet tchat and plan new projects.
It is a pleasure to propose intime warm and friendly events. As I enjoy diversity of genres, my events tend to be diffrent each time, and I take a lot of pleasure blending groupes of people that usualy dont meet.

My aim as an agent is to propose my help and advice, guidance sharing my experience of the last years .

O ften I have realised the past years that between France and Norway for example the problem that can occur is one of communication, not only is the language sometimes a barrier but also the culture and the habits, France being dominated by old school manners ( hierarchie ect::)
I sometimes make things easier between different partners or simply for one artist in particular.

Often English is a problem for the french it is then very important to help along and make the communication more " fluide"
