“Painting/Pan Paradox”
This lecture will explore the possibility of practically taking painting to unusual and metaphoric places. It will discuss theoretical options on how a present-day artist can convey through their work, the essence of the times in which they live.
It will discuss that in times of great Pan-paradox, and political disarray, where society as a whole is underpinned by a series of paradoxical changes- there exists an excellent environment for artists to comment upon the world around them.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10. (10.00)
INSTITUTT FOR FARGE
Institutt for Farge was formed in 2006 as a reaction to the termination of a subject area of the same name at the National Academy of the Arts in Oslo. In the educational vacuum that ensued, students and tutors proceeded with an autonomous educational programme, which later evolved into a collective art project. This gave rise to exhibitions, workshops, collaborations and the production of fanzines, revolving around issues of autonomy, the role of theory in art practice and art pedagogical models and questions.
The project pointed back at the pedagogical expenses of an administrative regime suppressing the academic staff, and towards an independent process of learning and an examination of different pedagogical models. The experiences brought about by these conflicts were later reworked into projects attempting to rethink the notion of autonomy and examining new constellations of art, theory and collaborative practice in an ever expanding field.
