It is defined by the "Pillars of Hercules" – two opposite rock formations which in antiquity made the outermost point of what was separating the known from the unknown. "Nec Plus Ultra" means that there is "nothing further beyond" (…) The dollar sign is said to derive from a symbolic rendering referring to the pillars and a curling banner curling upon them which was used to mark the Spanish dollar and was brought to America and adopted as a sign and name of several monetary systems. Now the world is coming to Europe as refugees and migrating workers, through the same gate.'

Wrånes plans to make a solo version of her recent performance ‘Your next vacation is calling’ (YNVIC). According to the artist, ‘in YNVIC, I painted the whole room into a three-dimensional explosive abstract painting. A sofa was thrown up on the wall and bean bags hovered inside the space like painted planets (or grapes if you like). Each performer was painted as the wall, colouring hair, face and clothes. It was some sort of floating chaos without words and logical censorship determined by rhythm and moods, aiming for an atmosphere in between sport and funeral’. For her performance as part of the Rapid Pulse Performance Art Festival she plans to 'develop an alternate language using my voice only. I experience a lot of hierarchy in language, and I want to create a form of communication where everyone can meet at the same level. The language is abstract and based on rhythm, moods and various combinations of consonants and vowels. It refers to Kurt Schwitters; Ursonate or Sidsel Endresen way of singing. Also Wu-Tang Clan's own slang master Raekwon makes his own language inspired by Kung Fu, cartoons or street slap.’ Other participating artists include Marilyn Arsem, Jelili Atiku, Yolanda Benalba, Ayana Evans and Marcel Sparmann.

The curator has brought together works by artists who have never exhibited together before based on principles less related to their aesthetic interchange and more on how they correspond to a single theme expressed as "overcoming". The premise of the curator's choice was the thesis expressed by the writer and thinker and local genius Daniil Kharms that the artist, as a subject of art, is destined to constantly overcome: the resistance of materials, of social stereotypes, of previous historical failure, everyday challenges… At the same time real "art has to act in such a way as to pass through walls"'.

Røys will exhibit his work Caminata Nocturna (2013), a two channel video installation with photographs. According to the curator, 'The Australian lyre bird is the only animal which incorporates the sound of its environment's gradual extinction into its mating song. The exhibition arises from Kader Attia's video Mimesis as Resistance (2013) in which he documents the lyre bird, which has evolved the ability to mimic different sounds. With the encroachment of humans into its habitat these include car alarms and chainsaws. (...)The artists explore mimesis as a form of resistance; copying or reenacting as a protest. They are interested in the reoccupying of space that has been taken'. Other participating artists include Kader Attia, Mohamed Bourouissa, Tellervo Kalleinen & Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen, Bita Razavi, Moussa Sarr and Pilvi Takala.
