The Cave of ApellesKristine Onsrud on her Art School TRAUMA, the Florence Academy, and Studying with Odd NerdrumOur guest for the evening is the Norwegian painter Kristine Onsrud. Many young, figurative painters can probably relate to her art school trauma, but there are probably few who have experienced that their painting got stabbed with a pair of scissors by their so-called colleagues.

But the "all you do is wrong"-mentality and lack of storytelling as an integrated part of the education at FAA, finally made her apply to the Nerdrum School where...

In the end, Critical Theory will only amplify the core principles of Fine Art in a shared zeal to end all ideas of meritocracy.Third-wave feminism will not catapult female classical-figurative painters into accepted collections. In Social Justice rhetoric they suffer from "false consciousness" and have "internalized the male gaze". The good ne...

The Cave of ApellesCritical Theory creates Art 2.0, attempting the Final Deathblow to Culture — How do we fight it?Critical Theory-zealots are vying for complete «Cultural Hegemony», introducing utopian demands for moral purity. All ideas of objectivity and quality are under attack. Jan-Ove Tuv explains how The National Academy of Art in Norway is being criticized for not being «woke» enough. The situation is far from idiosyncratic. Indeed, it is indicative of a global phenomenon. If we do not fight back, we are choosing authoritarian nepotism and the death of "creative freedom". In short: the end of «making it» as an outsider within the field of culture. "Cave Comments" applies an archetypical perspective to current culture, excavating underlying principles. Do you...

The Cave of ApellesToxic Femininity and Hidden Mythical Motifs in Henrik Ibsen's PlaysThe theater expert, Adara Ryum, makes her appearance to talk about the dramatist Henrik Ibsen and performance practice. Ryum points out how «updating» Ibsen always implies turning him into political propaganda, and that «modernizing» classical theatre results in losing the intensity of the story and insight into the fundamentals of human nature. As a case study, Ryum points to Ibsen's most famous play: A Doll's House. Is Nora (the lead character) a feminist icon — or a spoiled, irresponsible, lying and cynical brat, devoid of empathy?But even more importantly, are the last plays by Ibsen's something more than "contemporary" drama?The ce...

The Cave of ApellesCarl Korsnes on his Magazine Sivilisasjonen and Brentano's Four Phases of PhilosophyIs there an inevitable cycle that civilization is doomed to repeat — merely reenacting the fall of Rome — or can we break free from it?

Sometimes, one man is enough to turn the tide.Our guest for the evening is a returning guest, the Norwegian philosopher and editor of Sivilisasjonen: Carl Korsnes.Korsnes' magazine online:https://sivili...

The Cave of ApellesEinar Duenger Bøhn on Aristotle’s Tëchne, Objective Values and the Meaning of LifeWith Modernism, objective values were thrown overboard. Einar Duenger Bøhn, who teaches philosophy at the University of Agder in Norway, sees objective value in the classical portrait, making Aristotle’s concept of tëchne a true humanistic project. He has written a book called “The Meaning of Life” where he uses the myth of Sisyphus to argue that the potential for improvement is the only thing that can give life meaning, and that there are objective signifiers of good and bad.***EXCLUSIVELY for PATRONS: in the bonus material, Jan-Ove Tuv gets personal with Bøhn and serves him questions challengi...
