“Nordic Panoramic Interchange” addresses questions of the cultural and political history, the common as well as the divisive nature of the “nordic landscape”. Essentially it will focus on landscape and what a contemporary understanding of a panorama might be or become. Four specific countries have been chosen for their obvious topographical, ethnographical, historical and architectural differences. For example, Norway, Iceland, Vilnius and Sweden all have unique landscapes, mountains and fjords, volcanic terrain, forests and lakes then flat agricultural planes. This is the starting point offering dramatic ranges of distinction. However the aim of the project is not to deal exclusively with the obvious. The notion of landscape can be stretched to the most extreme lengths, including notions as widely apart as a media, political, financial or ecological landscapes. Looking outside of the “traditional” representation of landscape we talk of and experience the following variants.
Hardscape - landscaping the heavily urbanized and suburbanized
Mediascape - how visual media imagery impacts the work
Seascape - depictions of the sea
Softscape - flowers, plants, shrubs and trees
Soundscape - sounds and combinations of sonic immersive environments
Talkscape - socially constructed spaces of human activity
Mindscape – a space for conceptual thinking
Timescape - a space for political and historical discourse
Arbeidsform:
This project facilitates an intensive process by the seminars, fieldtrips and discussions. The workshops are considered to be catalystic in order to promote further ongoing work towards the final conference and exhibition The project is thought to be a collaborative intensive research between artist teachers and students and is organized through workshops. The discourse and material will be developed and disseminated via the PANORAMIC INTERCHANGE project blog.
There will be 3 student-artists from every Academy as well as 1 teacher-artist from every Academy participating. These are Hulda Stefansdottir (Iceland Academy of the Arts Reykjavik), Olav Westphalen (Stockholm, Royal Swedish Academy of Arts), Karen Kipphoff (Kunsthøgskolen i Bergen), Irma Staneytite(Vilnius)
