Sognom
is a ongoing project based on Sex Tags' drawing archive. The execution of the project is always different and in direct dialogue with the context it is shown in.

Sognom Part 2 was shown at Vestlandsutstillingen 2007 in five different locations in Norway, on this presentation of Sognom Sex Tags invited art historian and critic Erlend Hammer to write a text for each of the five presentations. Hammers texts was written at the same time as the selection of drawings and production of the installations, the written parts followed the Sognom Part 2 process step by step, but still keept it exclusive with its language and internal references.


This used to be a decent bar! What have they done to this place? It's a junk yard, full of rotten losers!
I wore my new black blindfold, and painted my toenails white. I really looked good! And then this funny jerk came up to me, with a very badly shaved vagina and just didn't stop talking. And the hippie, with no face, danced all night. He just kept on swirling around like a fucking idiot.
The other ugly guy constantly lost parts of his body. At least it didn't stink, but I stepped in one of his piles and it stuck to my feet. Not to mention all the other freaks.
Well I think I have to go to this bar again soon.
