Based in the above and with a particular focus on the correlation between including and excluding Gade will in her lecture Art, Place and Public take a closer look at Christoph Schlingensief and Center for Urbanitet og Dialog’s attempt at creating temporary rooms for a critical public in a series of relationally oriented and site-specific projects, among other things. Her lecture will link theoretic reflections to one of the projects of Oktoberdans 2008, Dans til folket ("Dance to the People"), taking place in different public locations in Bergen.

Solveig Gade has a cand.mag degree in Nordic languages and literature. The spring of 2008 she delivered her Ph.D thesis titled "Rammen om værket i verden – relationelle og intervenerende strategier i samtidskunsten" (The frame around the art work in the world – relational and intervening strategies of contemporary art) by the University in Copenhagen.
