Bjorn VenoBjorn Veno (also spelled Bjørn Venø) (b. 1979, living and working in Norway) is an Arthemist, an artist blending art and alchemy. Working through free association and intuition, he treats art as intentional action rather than product. His practice inestigates energy, failure, identity, gender, and metaphysics through the lens of transformation and the attributes of the fool. His work aims to open a space for exploration and presence of mind. It resists reducing art to commodity and spectacle, staying close to uncertainty, effort, and the unknown. He is the author of ARTHEMIST STATEMENT 2.6: Why create art that nobody asked for? (www.bjornveno.com) Read More Read Less
