Workform:
“Nordic Panoramic Interchange” addresses questions of amongst others cultural and political history, the common as well as the divisive nature of the “nordic landscape”. 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 blog to which every participant will contribute regularly. Four specific countries have been chosen for their obvious topographical, ethnographical, historical and architectural differences. Norway, Iceland, Lithuania and Sweden all have unique landscapes.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, historical or ecological landscapes. 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 discourseThere will be 3 student-artist participants from each Academy as well as 3 teacher-artist (Hulda Stefansdottir/Reykjavik, Irma Staneytite/Vilnius, Olav Westphalen/Stockholm, Karen Kipphoff/Bergen). During the clourse of the project every participant will indiovidually or collaboratively develop an artistic project pertaining to the subject, which will be exhibited at the final venue, Stockholm in conjunction to the conference.
