The artist and filmmaker Lene Berg (b. 1965, Oslo) was granted the one year artist residency programme at ISCP New York which commences as of 1 September 2007. Several of Berg's projects have their point of departure in documentary material without that necessarily being a priority in the result. One of her themes is fictional thinking in relation to and confrontation with the physical world. In 2006, she presented the publication Gentlemen and Arseholes and the video The Man in the Background, two parts of a project about art and propoganda during the Cold War. More recently that work has been shown at Midway Contemporary in Mineapolis, at [OCA, NYC], and upcoming at the Frankfurter Kunstverein.

Skauen, who recently participated in a major group exhibition at the Kunstverein in Frankfurt as curated by Chus Martinez, bases his practice in drawing, video, and music. Interested in the depiction of humanity and the notion of redemption, Skauen often stages situations through the use of metaphor and the interpretation of inner and outer worlds, reflecting on cultures in despair that evolve into fanaticism. Skauen was also the former curator of the artspace Subcomandante.

The upcoming OCA Semesterplan for spring/summer 2007 will be announced by the end of April.

The International Studio Programme Oslo is available for international artists and curators by invitation for a stay from two weeks up to six months, independently or in connection with research in Norway. The programme comprises four studios located in the city centre of Oslo.

Creischer will assume her residency at the Munch Estate as of early May 2007 with a presentation planned on 22 May within the original Munch studio at Ekely entitled Why Not Lobby Today? — the title of her projected work for the upcoming Documenta in Kassel. The work takes the form of an opera and is a political critique approaching the models of economic democratisation and socialization of private industries discussed still in post Nazi Germany.

ISMS: Recuperating Political Radicality in Contemporary Art
I. Constructing the Political in Contemporary Art

The book reflects the seminar, ISMS 1. which, organized by OCA, took place at the School of Architecture and Design in Oslo in April, 2006. The seminar addressed the complex and problematic relationships between artistic movements, political movements, and individual works. Specific focus was placed on current dilemmas facing art production, how it is for a work to function "critically" today, and how this relates to or, in fact, neglects politics.

The essays in Constructing the Political in Contemporary Art take a step back from the immediate institutional context of recent attempts to reconnect contemporary art to the politics of 1960s and 1970s, in order to reflect upon some of the theoretical issues at stake: the critical structure of the artwork as a site of a dialectic of individuality and collectivity (Peter Osborne), the power of its indexical or "documentary" aspects (Hito Steyerl and Marius Wulfsberg), its use-value as an archive of "intensive life" (Eric Alliez), its "seam with the economic" (David Cunningham), the limits of its "relational possibilities" (Stewart Martin), and its role in making visible the 'immaterial' labour of 'cognitive capitalism' (Ina Blom).

Martin Skauen participates in the recently opened group exhibition entitled Whenever It Starts It Is The Right Time, curated by Chus Martinez, Director of the Frankfurter Kunstverein. The exhibition, at the Frankfurter Kunstverein from 23 March through 6 May, 2007 explores if imagination is a useful notion for a new way to define the role of artistic pratcie and its connection to social research. The project integrates the notion of the enacted imagination as it relates to the avant-garde project of the early 20^thcentury — in conveying how to relate art to life and how to imagine the world differently. Skauen is one among other artists that include — Ibon Aranberri, Thomas Bayrle, Luke Fowler, Ryan Gander, Adrian Piper, Setareh Shabazi, Sue Tompkins.

The exhibition Into Me/Out of Me continues to be shown at MACRO (Museo d'Arte Contemporanea Roma) from 20 April–30 September. Norwegian participants are Trine Lise Nedreaas, Knut Åsdam and Elmgreen&Dragset

Frankfurter Kunstverein Director, Chus Martinez, will curate a major solo exhibition with the works of Gardar Eide Einarsson, that will open 27 July and run through 16 September 2007 at the Frankfurter Kunstverein. Martinez notes that Einarsson's work refers to the notion of utopia understood as "the impossibility of a place". On the other hand, the artist also addresses the notion of the "future" — or better, "the near future" — as the social ground we are already sharing and constructing for our collective tomorrow in the sense that we live in a permanent negotiation of different cultural and social backgrounds. Therefore, the solo presentation of Gardar Eide Einarsson should serve as a terrain to imagine this new territory. A place where different aesthetic premises co-exist.

Chus Martinez has also invited Lene Berg to participate in the exhibition Pensée Sauvage that will be shown in the Frankfurter Kunstverein from 25 May through 8 July, 2007 and parallel in the Ursula Blickle Foundation, 20 May–1 July, 2007.

Knut Åsdam was selected as the Artist in Focus as part of Rotterdam's International Film Festival. His contribution to the festival is a particularly versatile one. Not only will he be showing his own recent short films, he will also produce a large installation in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, entitled The Care of the Self Finally Edit, which will take the form of a dingy little urban park at sunset. This realistically constructed "hangout" is a synthesis of various motifs from his oeuvre: architecture, the urban setting, cinematographic mise-en-scéne and, above all, attention to mental processes (desire, politics, the everyday). In addition, Åsdam has integrated two installations — the video work Abyss and the new series of slidesSmooth City, Smooth Space in the auditorium and conference spaces of the Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAi). In the Bilderberg Park Hotel nearby, Åsdam found the perfect context within which to integrate a small selection of his early video work. Finally, he will also participate in the exhibition Borderline Behaviour at TENT with a graffiti work. During the festival, Åsdam will not only be introducing his own work, but also a number of his favourite films.

The exhibition, This is the First Day of My Life, by Ingar Dragset and Michael Elmgreenopened recently at the Malmö Konsthall as a comprehensive presentation of the artist duo's sculptural works from 1997–2007. Several new productions are shown together with well known works from the artists' production and installed into a disorienting complex environment of arcades and secret rooms. Curated by Lars Grambye, the exhibition will be accompanied by an upcoming publication by the same title with contributions by Brian O'Doherty, Kristian Kracht, and Dennis Cooper to be published by Hatje Cantz.

Synne Bull and Dragan Miletic have been invited to participate in the Video Exhibition Exchange — a project at the Pasadena Museum of California Art. Invited by Wesley Jessup, the Museum's Director and Kathleen Quinlan, Director of Artists' Television Access, the event takes place on 28 April.

The exhibition includes more than thirty photographs taken over the past ten years, this will be the photographer's first major exhibition in the United States. Nickas writes:"Sandberg has produced a remarkable body of work that is consistent in its vision, imbued with a sense of mystery and great depth of feeling ... Sandberg's work is about photography, about the act of seeing, and ultimately about being in the world."

John Rasmussen, selected Lene Berg's Gentlemen and Arseholes to be shown at Midway Contemporary in Minneapolis from 17 March to 5 May. The work shows together with Carey Young's Consideration.
