Somewhere Nice is a short film and live performance by Louis Schou-Hansen and Harald Beharie commissioned by Sandefjord Kunstforening as one of four nominated works for Sandefjord Kunstforenings Art Prize 2023. It is a strange little family, a mashup of sensual moving sculptures, fantasies of queer renaissance paintings, and cruisy patterns with subtle traces of undefined desires.
Somewhere Nice is a porous exercise in interpersonal sensibilities, intimacies, and physical connections. It is an ongoing artistic practice based on local relationships that want to resist any form of stagnation. And, in a continuous current, it craves to build new and queerer ways of spending time together.
The work has been carved out through our intimate meeting with Arne and Rune and their generous contributions, two icons from the Sandefjord queer community.
PERFORMED BY Arne Skalleberg, Rune Berg Johansen, Louis Schou-Hansen and Harald Beharie
