Topographies of the Obsolete
(2018)
author(s): KMD, Arild Berge
connected to: Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design, University of Bergen
published in: Research Catalogue
Topographies of the Obsolete is an artistic research project initiated by Professors Neil Brownsword and Anne Helen Mydland at Bergen Academy of Art and Design (KHiB) in collaboration with partner universities/institutions in Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, France and the UK. In 2012 the British Ceramics Biennial invited Bergen Academy of Art and Design (KHiB) to develop a site-specific artistic response to the former Spode Factory in Stoke-on-Trent as a key element of their 2013 exhibition programme. The project explores the landscape and associated histories of post-industry, with an initial emphasis on Stoke-on-Trent, a world-renowned ceramics capital that bears evidence of fluctuations in global fortunes.

DESERT DWELLING

This exposition is in progress.
Desert Dwelling is a research project conducted by Associate professor Christine Hansen and Independent Artist Line Anda Dalmar. The desert is used as a site and framework to reflect on landscape, environment and time. In addition, Desert Dwelling endeavor to explore the act of observation and documentation. The project uses mainstream documentation/observation methods such as photography, video and sound. In addition, we employ more time-consuming observation means such as drawing, casting and watercolor painting. Different observation methods render the world differently, and provide noninterchangeable information. Much of the visual material is from a field study in deserts in California in spring 2018. The study took place mainly in Death Valley and Joshua Tree and had a processual method. We selected a place in the desert and stayed there until we found something interesting to work with. Every day, we made experiences that we built on the next day. The working method focused on the fluid relationship between process, work and documentation.

(last edited: 2018)
author(s): Johan Sandborg
connected to: Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design, University of Bergen
This exposition is in progress.
Creative center for Fluid Territories/ CCFT’s research approach utilities participatory practices, where ideas and decisions develop through a responsive process in order to address both tangible and intangible knowledge. This is organised as interwoven, overlapping and interrelated meeting points, sites for single or multiple field trips, designated as “Nomadic Dialogues” (ND). Five identified Nomadic Dialogues have been chosen as they are felt to directly address the research questions CCFT has set out. Nomadic Dialogues constitutes characteristics of potential instability, conflict, memory of tragedy and repressed history. The designated Nomadic Dialogue are strategic meeting and development points for the research, and in line with CCFT’s traveling colloquia, include adjoining participants as a vital part of the on-going dialogue.

CCFT – Creative Centre for Fluid Territories: People, Places, Processes
The impermanent and shifting impact of globalisation, economic division and migratory encounters across territories along with the impact of the post truth legacy is increasingly reshaping the understanding of space and place as a location of meaning and identity construction. CCFT will deliver a three-year international research programme through interwoven, overlapping and interrelated meetings, investigations and dissemination points in four cases for study designated as “Nomadic Dialogues".
