The project is curated by Trygve Ohren.
The exhibition Betraktninger = Observations, Dialogues and Actions is a multifaceted exhibition project that arose through a collaboration between Oslo Architecture Triennale, the masterprogram in art and public spaces (MAPS) at Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO) and the independent interdisciplinary platform ROM for kunst og arkitektur. The three institutions work with different methods targeting the connection between art, architecture, public space and urban planning. This common interest has built the foundation for a collaboration focused on the role of art in neighborhoods.
The thematic angle connects to Oslo Architecture Triennale’s focus on neighborhoods, especially on how art and artists can explore neighborhoods as a space to rethink how we can create better community places in our cities. Through the exhibition and program of events, we present 16 projects, exploring our shared surroundings. Most of the projects revolve around the neighborhood encompassing ROM at Maridalsveien 3 in Oslo, while some of the projects stretch out to other districts, from Stovner, Vålerenga and Gamlebyen to Jeløya outside of Moss. The artists question, speculate and show care and consideration in their meetings with the surroundings, people and nature in the different neighborhoods. Several of the projects invite the public to actively participate in their process. They are generous, sensitive and clear in their wish to push forward perspectives rarely included in the public discussion. Maybe that is exactly why artistic perspectives are so valuable, because they make us think about the world and see it in a different light.
