Come join us for the grand finale of our weekend activities, in partnership with Woods, where Norwegian artist Liv Bugge will be leading an immersive participatory workshop.
This afternoon is an invitation to take part in a conversation where we have the crude oil and subsea-landscape from the oil fields Vigdis and Maria as special guests. Vigdis is located in the Tampen area in the northern part of the North Sea, while Maria is located on Haltenbanken in the Norwegian sea. They both produce oil from sandstone in several deposits at a depth of 2,000-3800 meters.
The exercise involves a communal guided meditation and physical and imagined contact with objects and ideas. This afternoon is part of a dialogue practice that Bugge has had in recent years revolving around fossil representation in language, images, landscapes, museums and histories.

The session is only open to a maximum of 30 participants, so be quick!

Liv Bugge lives and works in Oslo, where she is currently also teaching in the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. In 2019, she completed her PhD with the title The Other Wild: Touching Art as Confrontation. Her work with objects, film, collective exercises, explores how mechanisms are perpetuated in society which contribute to the maintenance of normative ideas and ethics within experienced dichotomies such as life and non-life or humanity and nature.
