Karolin Tampere (b. 1978) is a recent graduate of De Appel in Amsterdam, with a BA in Visual Arts from Bergen National Academy of Arts (2005). Together with the artist Åse Løvgren, Tampere initiated the ongoing collaboration Rakett in 2003 as a mobile platform for various activities ranging from curatorial practice to initiating own collaborative artistic projects. Rakett projects function as temporary platforms for collaborative, often interdisciplinary, production; where the role of the initiator/curator is not only to create a framework and a stage but also to bring together different cultural producers, to create a moment of potentiality. Implicitly and explicitly, the projects touch on a range of questions around (co)authorship, (im)material production, the role of artist and curator, and the potential of mobile and changeable platforms in the institutional infrastructure for art.
