RiAP 2014, Performance festival, (Québec, Canada). International Performance art Giswil, (Switzerland), also in Portugal and Poland.

 

Skard works with art that is close to reality.

New forms and qualities of known and everyday material are used as a basis for minimalistic and low-key works of art – performance, sculpture, object, photo, video and land art.

The aesthetics and use of materials can be associated with the Fluxus movement and Arte Povera;

spartan, absurd, playful and down to earth.

Expressions and themes are sober and pragmatic, with roots in country traditions.
