Recorded at Ananda’s studio, Tou atelierhus, august.6, 2021
In the third ever english spoken Lukewarm Coffee, I insist too meet artist Ananda Serné at her studio, even though I was warned about the echo. We speak about anechoic chamber, caves, complete darkness, the wilderness guy from Anna Ihle’s gold trip, high mountains, to talk in this type of setting, listening to your own voice, silence in conversations, thinking in different languages, Ananda’s norwegian, LUNKENT BEKJENTSKAP, how we know each other, why she came to Stavanger, cheap travelling, funny place names, Anette Gellein calls, Iceland academy of the arts, Ananda’s first real work :Echo, working with video, we listen to my drunk review of Anandas exhibition at Studio17 from 2017, hiding art, her work “ Night-scented flower I&II”, how we treat our art, the feeling to have a studio, Ananda is “årets Stavanger kunstner” this year and we speak about that, to have a street named after you, her coming exhibition at Bryne Kunstforening, ETABLERT, getting a drivers license, my time in the military, how Ananda became an artist, Ananda as an artist, becoming 32, personality tests and finally we get hungry and end the episode.

happy listening!
