About The Artwork

Solo show Videoprojections, performance, crystals projection, objects installation, work on paper, sound Small Projects Tromsø, Norway The salmon and the coalfish It was in the fall, when the salmon had already finished spawning and was gone far down the river. Then it met the coalfish that swam up. The salmon asked: «Where are you going?» – «I’m going up the river», said the coalfish – «Are you going up the river? What kind of look do you have in the river?» – «I have a beautiful enough look», said the coalfish – «I also have a shiny side». – «You have no fat», said the salmon. – «I have fat in the liver,» said the coalfish. – «Hey, hey, and with that fat you’re going up the river! A little more fat I had in my flesh when I went up, but see how I look now!» The coalfish began to think: the fat in my liver probably doesn’t keep me up to the river source. And then it returned and left no more in its way. The place where they met, is still called Seistry, near Seida. G. Balke, Karasjok Published by Brita Pollan in the book Samiske Beretninger, 2005 Translated by Google in collaboration with Michelle-Marie Letelier A spontaneous solo show at Small Projects (Tromsø, Norway) that marked a farewell to a residency at Troms fylkeskultursenter in February 2019. It encompassed a constellation of various elements that have been part of the project Transpose since 2016, including a new performative work Their Dead, a work on paper Luossa and a new arrangement with farmed salmon bones & other objects. The exhibition space was accompanied with a voice reflection by artist Ánde Somby. A significant element was a dialogue with the architecture of the space, which is based on Sámi principles.

Michelle-Marie Letelier (Chile, 1977) lives and works in Berlin. Her work orchestrates transformations of natural resources, alongside extensive wide-ranging, interdisciplinary research into the landscapes where their exploitation and speculation take place. Through her work, she places together different epochs, regions and societies, examining political-economic, historical and cultural aspects. Since establishing in Berlin in 2007, she has focused her research on five resources: coal, copper, saltpetre, wind and, more recently, salmon. By applying, mixing and constellating their properties—such as electrical conductivity, crystallisation and agency—, chemical and physical transformation processes produce the artworks themselves, as well as their poiesis, beyond the extractive industry and its forms of control. Michelle-Marie Letelier obtained her Bachelor of Arts from the Universidad Católica de Chile in 2000 and has participated in postgraduate programmes such as Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt art IT (Berlin) and as guest student in the Experimental Media Design studies at the Universität der Künste (Berlin). Her work has been shown internationally in biennials, galleries, museums and institutions, among others: Or Gallery (Vancouver); Gropius-Bau (Berlin); Kunstmuseum Bonn; Stanislavsky Electrotheatre (Moscow); Screen City Biennial 2019 (Stavanger); Bienal Sur 2017 (Buenos Aires); El Museo de Los Sures (New York); Kunsthall 3,14 (Bergen); Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende (Santiago); Errant Bodies (Berlin); Museum of Contemporary Art (Santiago); Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (Santiago) and Kommunale Galerie Charlottenburg (Berlin). She has been a resident at ISCP (NYC, 2014), USF (Bergen, 2017), Kunstnerhuset (Svolvær, 2018), Magallanes2020 (Punta Arenas, 2018), ISLA (Antofagasta, 2018) and Troms fylkeskultursenter (Tromsø, 2019).
