SPACE STATION #3: INSTITUTE FOR COLOUR
Institute for Colour (Silje Hogstad, Steffen Håndlykken, Ingrid Lønningdal and Elizabeth Schei) (NO)
29 April - 8 May, 2011
In the third installment of Space Station, 0047 has invited Institute for Colour (Silje Hogstad, Steffen Håndlykken, Ingrid Lønningdal and Elizabeth Schei) to take over its gallery and claim it as their own production space. During their stay at Schweigaardsgt 34 D, Institute for Colour will transform 0047 into a print-workshop where the artist-group will explore a new technique within their practice. The works produced during their stay at 0047 will be presented as part of an upcoming exhibition at Volt in Bergen, titled Gruppearbeid.
For Gruppearbeid, Institute for Colour has invited eight artist-groups (Lewis & Taggart, Ytter, Entreé, Hordaland kunstsenter, Tag Team Studio, Bergen Kjøtt, Knipsu and PreMisS) to submit material which will be combined into eight different prints, each featuring two or more of the submitted images. The results are layered products – manifestations of negotiations and decision-making processes between the artist collectives and institutions involved.
From April 29 to May 8, 0047 will present reminiscences of Institute for Colour’s work process – drafts, experiments, mistakes and outtakes. The opening will take place April 29 at 7pm with a moving-out party.
About Institute for Colour
The Institute for Colour 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 group, which now consists of Silje Hogstad, Steffen Håndlykken, Ingrid Lønningdal and Elizabeth Schei, has created a transversal production format where social processes and collective material, rather than personal signatures, are the basis for diverse projects.
About Space Station: On Enabling, Production and Display
Developed by nOffice (Markus Miessen, Ralf Pflugfelder and Magnus Nilsson) and 0047, Space Station is a spatial social experiment consisting of a series of residencies and public activities that aims to discuss and challenge models of production and display.
