Ole Martin Lund Bø
Artist, Stavanger
September 2006 through August 2007
Ole Martin Lund Bø was awarded the artist residency to proceed with the development of his work which involves a recontextualization of the authoritarian elements of power rhetoric that is being used in political, religious and commercial mass media. Interested in the construction and the surface of mass communication, its rhetoric and visual language, Bø expresses an investigation of the architecture of the content as shaped by aesthetic norms and traditions.

Geir Haraldseth
Curator, Oslo
September through November 2006
Geir Haraldseth was awarded the curatorial residency to provide him the opportunity to proceed with further research having graduated from the M.A. Programme of Curatorial Studies at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College, New York.

Jannicke Låker 
Artist, Drammen 
Residency until November 2006

Jannicke Låker teaches at the National Academy of Fine Art, Oslo. Her video work presents individuals in cruelly manipulated situations, seeking to include viewers in the narratives.

Upcoming

Tom Sandberg 
Artist, Oslo 
December 2006–December 2007

Tom Sandberg was selected based on his contributions in the field of photography and his interest to continue to develop his work. As Sandberg wrote, "since the 1970s, I have been exploring the inherent qualities of the photographic language. Departing from the subject matter of the portrait, I have through titantic abstractions and unstaged visual reality been interested in the increasing limits of the photograph with an authenticity regarding the medium. With visual economy and a profound interest in complex reality, I have tried to address ambiguous surfaces and visual paradoxes that attract my eye to explore the possibilities of the photographic image."

Current

Trude Iversen 
Curator and Critic, Oslo 
September and October 2006

Provided the curatorial residency located at Kunstwerke Berlin, Iversen is proceeding with research for her bookContemporary Criticality intended, according to Iversen, "to explore the possibilities of curating an exhibition where the point of departure is critical strategies within the art practice often referred to as the third generation of institutional critique (self organization) ... Contemporary institutional critique is practiced by well known artists as — among others — Andrea Fraser, Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Santiago Sierra. In Norway, this practice is associated with artists like Matias Faldbakken, Gardar Eide Einarsson, Marianne Heier, Ingrid Book and Carina Hedén, Søssa Jørgensen and Geir Tore Holm, among others. This contemporary art practice can often be more general social-critical, as opposed to the more relational orientated art practice that is recognized by attempts to develop and improve the structures and ideologies of the museum. In what way these practices can be linked to what Jonas Ekeberg described as New Institutionalism (Verksted 2003) is a relevant question in a time this practice is very established as a norm within the art institution."

Upcoming

Terje Nicolaisen 
Artist, Oslo 
November and December 2006

Terje Nicolaisen trained at the Art Academies in Bergen (1997) and Trondheim (1996). He has exhibited extensively in Norway, among shows and institutions are Bokaktig, Fotogalleriet, Oslo, 2006; Stilleben/Rakett, Projekt 0047, Berlin, Germany, 2005; Tegneklubben, Bergen Kunsthall/No.5, Bergen, 2005; Momentum — International Festival for Contemporary Art, Moss, 2004; Art to the People, Kunstnernes Hus (Oslo), Bergen Kunsthall (Bergen), Tromsø Kunstforening (Tromsø), Bomuldsfabriken Kunsthall (Arendal), 2003-2004; Maniege Center for Contemporary Art, St. Petersburg, Russia, ROHTO, 2003; Straight on Medicine Art (with Markus Renvall), Art in Nordland, 2003; The Sculpture Biennial, Vestfold Haugar Kunstmuseum, Tønsberg, 2003; The Sculpture Biennial, Lillehammer Kunstmuseum (Lillehammer), Stenersen Museum (Oslo), 2001; Galeria U Jezuitûw, Poznan, Poland, 2000; HEART/Helsinki Environmental Art Project (with Pekka Nevalainen), 2000; and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Oslo, 1998.

Helge Hiram Jensen
Sociologist and Ethnologist, Oslo
January and February 2007
Helge Hiram Jensen works with participatory art, action research, anarchitecture and media activism. He is now following a four-year plan for fertilizing the further growth of transnational lines of communication between experiments in sustainable living. The spinal cord of this work is an action research project on participatory sewerage design in a Palestinian refugee camp in Beirut. "Out of place" will be the concept for artists working in an interdisciplinary planning machine together with end users, designers, engineers, ethnographers, health workers and local authorities. The input: exchange on relevant experiences worldwide. The output: an anthology, an exhibition shown in relevant cities, and a concrete infrastructure for self-help.

Trond Hugo Haugen
Artist, Stavanger
March and April 2007
Trond Hugo Haugen works mainly with black and white drawings and books. He uses a low-key, absurd and poetic tone to show our need to travel to parallel worlds; be it into the world fantasy or into our body - and how we lose ourselves in time. Haugen has published three books, Det Kjedelige Kunstverket (The Boring Work Of Art) 2002; Lack Of Soul, 2003; and, most recently, Book D from 2005. Today, his publishing house noCUBE established to publish his own works, works mainly with other artists. Haugen also runs Stavanger2018.no, an ongoing project discussing the long-term effects and future opportunities for artists in the region after the celebration of Stavanger as the European Capital of Culture in 2008. He has three upcoming solo exhibitions in Sweden: This May Take Several Minutes at Gallery Pictura, Lund, 2006 and solo shows at Gallery Mors Mössa, Gothenburg, and Gallery Ping Pong, Malmö, both in 2007.

The following is a selected list of upcoming international exhibitions and projects supported and enabled by OCA either through its International Visitor Programme or its International Support Programme

The 27th Sao Paulo Biennale

Lars Ramberg was selected by Jose Roca, one of the curators of the upcoming Sao Paulo Biennale to participate in the international exhibition with a project entitled Future Turns. Ramberg focuses on the story of Venturo, a conceptual summerhouse designed by Matti Suuronen in the late 1960s. Having located an original cabin, the artist will renovate it and present it in Sao Paulo as part of a sculptural installation that addresses the different perspectives around ideas of futurism, both in a historical and contemporary sense.

In addition to the Venturo installation, Ramberg will present Palast des Zweifels (Palace of Doubts). First realized on the roof of the Palast der Republik in Berlin in 2005, the artist worked with the German film director Julia Novak to record the project. Similar to Andy Warhol's Empire, Ramberg's film is 6 hours in length and consists of an uncut real time recording of the project.

This 27^th Sao Paulo Biennale, the chief curator of which is Lisette Lagnado, with co-curators Cristina Freire, Rosa Martinez, Jose Roca, and Adriano Pedrosa, has done away with national representations to draft a project that approaches two lines of thought — the sense of "construction" with "programs for life".

Busan Biennale

Bodil Furu was invited by Manu Park to participate in the Busan Biennale 2006 in Busan, Korea which will run from 16 September to 25 November. Held under the title Everywhere, the exhibition will be composed of three parts. Furu will participate in the section entitled A Tale of Two Cities: Busan-Seoul/Seoul-Busan. Furu will present the films, 6 x 17 (2004) and En plass i solen (A Place in the Sun) (2004).

Liverpool Biennale

OCA has supported the participation of Sissel Tolaas in this year's Liverpool Biennale as curated by Gerardo Mosquera and Manray Hsu. The character of the Biennial is shaped by the rapid development of Liverpool's centre, as this city in transition gears up to its position as European Capital of Culture 2008. Tolaas' project is located within the International O6 section whereby the artist conducts an experiment working in tandem with the local community to collect smells from the four quarters of the city and develop a new vocabulary for describing them.

The 47thOctober Art Salon: The Belgrade Biennial

René Block, Director of the Kunshalle Museum Fridericianum in Kassel is this year's designated curator for the Belgrade Biennial, scheduled for 29 September through mid-November 2006 under the title the 47^th October Art Salon. The theme of this next biennale is "Art, Life, and Confusion", which explores the relationship between art and life amid a a collapse of political systems, dissolution of existing value systems, and massive social changes brought about by globalization. As a result of his recent research visit to Oslo, Block has selected the following artists to participate in the biennial: Toril Goksøyr & Camilla Martens, Kim Hiorthøy, Matias Faldbakken, Vibeke Tandberg.

The California Biennial

Synne Bull and Dragan Miletic were invited by American curator Elizabeth Armstrong to participate in the upcomingCalifornia Biennial scheduled to be on view at the Orange County Museum of Art in Newport Beach, California, USA 1 October–31 December, 2006. The artists will contribute a work entitled The Island of Pelicans (2002), which that relates to urban ecologies.

Tom Sandberg will have a major exhibition curated by Bob Nickas at P.S.1 MoMA in New York City from February through April 2007. Including 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."

Philippe Pirotte, Director of the Kunsthalle Bern in Switzerland, has invited Camille Norment to participate in the exhibitionPre-Emptive, which will include Florian Dombois, Vanessa Van Obberghen, Kris Fierens, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Serkan Ozkaya, Zhang Enli, Marine Hugonnier, and Daniela Keiser. The project approaches ideas around the "pre-emptive" in creating spaces, suffused with possibilities and the reflection upon the non-effectuation of history. Within the context of this exhibition, Norment exhibits Driftglass, 2001–2004, an interactive series of optically deceptive mirrors with sonic feedback — an example of the transformation of everyday objects and behaviours. The exhibition runs from 18 August through 8 October, 2006.

Norwegian curator Hans Askheim has received support from OCA to curate the exhibition entitled And Yet It Moves! at the not for profit space MOT in London from 18 August–16 September. The title is taken from one of John Heartfield's montages as a point of departure to explore how the political motivation of the Dada and Surrealist movements relate to contemporary artists. A work of John Heartfield will be presented alongside contemporary artists Mark Titchner, Lisa Kirk, Gardar Eide Einarsson, and Bjørn Kowalski Hansen. In the context of MOT, an artist-run exhibition venue housed in a building in East London set up by the Greater London Consul, the project addresses questions concerning the use of socially related aesthetics, and plays with the ubiquitous term "not for profit".

Rakett and Øystein Aasan participate in Every Story Tells A Picture organized by Michael Baers at Sparwasser HQ in Berlin from 19 August–16 September, 2006. The exhibition addresses how graphic design, advertising, and publicity have different national histories and cultures, which ultimately shape their professional identities. Other artists participating in the exhibition — Fucking Good Art, Sasha Huber, Deborah Ligorio, Eoghan McTigre, Petri Saarikko, Nicoline van Harskamp, Christine Wurmell.

Jorunn Myklebust Syversen was invited into the project Unclassifiable, a screening programme to be held at Kunstlerhaus Bethanien and Freiluft Kino Kreuzberg in Berlin on 31 August, 2006. The screening programme as curated byJacqueline Hoang Nguyen and Jenny Yurshansky strives to "Stepp outside the limitations that frame the field of cinema, video art, and performance, to reorient frames of understanding". Other featured artists include: Miriam Backstrom, Tova Mozard, Khaled Ramadan, Stina Wirfelt, Henrik Lund Jørgensen, Kirsten Leenars, Johanna Billing, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, and Planning to Rock. A panel discussion at 18:00 at Kunstlerhaus Bethanien will be followed by a 20:00 screening at the Freiluft Kino Kreuzberg.

Ingrid Book and Carina Hedén were selected by Hemma Schmutz, Director of the Salzburger Kunstverein in Austria, andBarbara Holub to participate in Betrifft: Scheibbs. Leben in einer osterreichschen Stadt, a project concerned with the structural change and the future position of Scheibbs. Scheibbs is an intact and attractive small town, a district capital with institutions of public administration, but it has suffered in recent years as a result of movements of labour and migration. On the other side, there are some highly specialized companies in the neighborhood that are internationally orientated. The art projects work with the local infrastructure and deal with the economic situation. Could we think about a positioning of a town that does not function through entertainment and event culture? What part does art play in this context? The process of the research and development of the project, conducted between mid-May and mid-June were visible for the town and its inhabitants. Other artists and scientists participating in the project are Annette Wehrmann (DE), Klub Zwei (AT), Georg Winter (DE), Bureau d'études (FR), Jens Kastner (Soziologe) (AT). The project will be presented from 7–9 September .

Norwegian curator Hanne Mugaas received support from OCA to organize an online exhibition entitled The Copy-and-Paste Show, via Rhizome.org at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York. The exhibition, part of Rhizome's tenth year anniversary, is based on concepts and phenomena of the internet. The exhibition website will be constructed from online projects or extracts, as well as appropriated material — including contributions by Computerprincess and Jean Baptiste Bayle. The exhibition will be launched on 15 September, 2006.

Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset participate in Surprise, Surprise, an exhibition curated by Jens Hoffmann and Rob Bowman at the ICA in London from 2 August–10 September, 2006. The international exhibition includes forty "high-profile" artists taking part by displaying pieces that are atypical of the work for which they are best known. The exhibition reverses viewer expectations through a presentation of the unexpected, the unfamiliar, the unknown and the one-off.

Sven Påhlsson received OCA support to participate in the project entitled Animated Stories, an exhibition that opened at La Caixa Foundation in Barcelona, Spain on 16 June and will run through 18 October. Additional venues will follow at the La Sala Rekalde in Bilbao (26 October–7 January, 2007) and at Le Fresnoy in Lille, France later in 2007. The exhibition is curated by La Caixa's Marta Gili.

Knut Åsdam will participate in Satellite, a project being organized by Nina Oeghoede in conjunction with the officialShanghai Biennale, opening 4 September, 2006. Bringing together an international team of curators and artists from China and elsewhere, the concept of Satellite has multiple levels: physical, geographical, political, astronomical, and biological. Knut Åsdam was asked to participate in the subject theme The Irreparable together with Pavel Buchler, Pedro Cabrita Reis, Martin Creed, Ruberto Cuoghi, Wim Delvoye, Serkan Oskaya, Luc Tuymans, Christoph Buchel and others.

Børre Sæthre will have a solo show at Participant Inc located on the Lower East Side in New York City from 10 September–8 October, 2006. The title of the project — I've Been Guilty of Hanging Around — is generated from a dialogue with the American writer Dennis Cooper about his latest project in which he investigates the darker and hidden connections between male teenage prostitutes and older men in an almost Genet-like manner.

Maya Økland participates in the New Nordic Photography exhibition held at the Hasselblad Center in Gothenburg, Swedenfrom 20 May–27 August, 2006.

Witte de With Director Nicolaus Schafhausen and WdW curator Renske Janssen selected Gardar Eide Einarsson andMarius Engh to participate in the exhibition Street: Behind the Cliche scheduled for 9 September–19 November, 2006. The exhibition approaches what — and who — fills the sociocultural space of our day to day surroundings. It investigates the public spaces of supermodernity — as defined by Marc Auge — by presenting 28 international artists whose works embody alternatives to the anonymity of the globalized world and render visible the underlying structures and mechanisms of public space.

Geir Tore Holm will participate in the exhibition project Rethinking Nordic Colonialism: A Postcolonial Exhibition Project in Five Acts , curated by Frederikke Hansen and Tone Olaf Nielsen for NIFCA. The exhibition constitutes the last major exhibition production before the institution closes in 2007. Geir Tore Holm have participated in Rethinking Nordic Colonialismwith two works — Mun rahkistan — in mun ge, a music video from 2005 and Vara addit!, a promotion stand for blood donation from 2006. The music video will be launched as part of a DVD Box Set Copenhagen, Helsinki, Oslo, and Stockholm on 25 November.

aiPortu (Andreas Siqueland and Anders Kjellesvik) participated and completed the selective Advanced Course in Visual Arts at the Antoni Ratti Foundation in Como, Italy conducted by the course leader Marjetica Potrc. The Advanced Course in Visual Arts is an intensive course for young artists. It started in 1988 under the patronage of the Como Council, and is structured like a summer seminar in the form of a laboratory for artistic and theoretical experimentation. The resulting exhibition entitled Fragmented Show opens on 10 October and will consist of four sites emphasizing the concept of urban fragmentation and decentralization from a logistical perspective. A catalogue published by Actar will be published in conjunction with the exhibition.

Prague-based Jesper Alvær received support from OCA's 03 Funds to hold a series of film screenings within a three day film festival in Oslo in November 2006 in cooperation with Torpedo and Fotogalleriet. The screenings will include films selected by the Iranian artists Nasrin Tabatabai and Babak Afrassiabi (pages) with invited film directors Bahman Kiarostami and Alireza Rasulinezhad. The idea around the project is to further develop the focus on contemporary documentary films from Iran.

Hungarian curator Livia Paldi selected the work by Torbjørn Rødland for the exhibition Dreamlands Burn, scheduled to open at the Mucsarnok in Budapest in December 2006. The exhibition proposes a crossover of the contemporary art scenes in the Nordic countries, with an investigation of identity through the very personal. Other artists included in the project — Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Johanna Billing, Tommi Grönland and Petteri Nisunen, Felix Gmelin, Alexander Gutke, Jesper Just, Joachim Koester, Gitte Villesen among others.

OCA supported Norwegian curator Leif Magne Tangen in curating a project entitled I will never make it at Kunstraum D21 in Leipzig, Germany. The exhibition, writes Tangen, is born out of the necessity of failing. Built upon an original work by Jan Christensen from 2000, the project includes artists Mikkel McAlinden, Mark Hamilton, Paolo Chiasera, and Reto Pulfer. The show will open in March 2007.

Dr. Barbara Steiner, Curator and Director of the Galerie fur Zeitgenossische Kunst Leipzig, Germany, invited the artistStefan Schrøder to participate in a public project entitled Plagwitzer Sand in Summer 2007 in Leipzig.
