Professional, international artists are invited to apply to come and make place-specific land art projects in the stunning region of Kjerringøy in Northern Norway during the 9th Kjerringøy Land Art Biennale.
The Kjerringøy Land ArtBiennale is an interdisciplinary arena where ecology and a mindful interaction with nature are explored. The work is to explore and interact with the place and the natural and biodegradable materials available there, and investigate, transform, alter, reflect or commune with these on site. The activities should not contain any artificial materials and should be made in mindful ways with respect for the place and its inhabitants, creatures great and small. The work will integrate with the landscape or be temporary and gradually decompose.
For the first time, Kjerringøy Land Art Biennale is initiating a project spanning two years, including two longer stays in Kjerringøy. K-Lab’s aim is to create an environment where artists both find inspiration and inspire others. K-Lab’s emphasis is on studying and working site-specific in and with the landscape.
The selected artists are invited to stay for two longer periods – early summer 2023 and 2024. Each artist will get the opportunity to plan and develop a site-specific work of art to be ready for presentation in summer 2024. Each artist will have the opportunity of choosing between several sites around Kjerringøy to work in during the spring and summer months. As part of the first stay, in 2023, the artist group will have an offer of two workshops with professional traditional craftspeople.
The call is open toprofessional artists, architects and performers. Applications can be submitted until 23 May. More information can be found here.
