Lydgalleriet is a production and exhibition platform for sound-based art situated in Bergen, Norway and the only specialised gallery for sonic cultures in Norway. Lydgalleriets purpose is to promote and support sound-based art expression through dissemination, stimulation for new production, live events, collaboration and community building. Lydgalleriet was initiated in 2005 by a group of local artists, musicians, curators and art historians. They wished to explore how a traditional gallery space could benefit the presentation of sound-based art work, and how different acoustic environments can alter, modify or shape sound-based work.
