The Fond Library - films, sounds, images, texts.

As we move towards the first quarter of the third millennium, the impermanent and shifting influence of globalisation, economic division, migratory encounters, social media, historic narrative and tourism is having a major impact in our understanding of the making, belonging and occupying of place. It is widely documented that these conditions are contributing to a growing sense of displacement and alienation in what constitutes as place making, occupying, and belonging. CCFT is asking how interdisciplinary artistic research practices contribute and share new critical understandings to aid this evolving understanding of place making, belonging and occupying?

Creative Centre for Fluid Territories (CCFT), is a peripatetic international research group that contributes to discussions about interdisciplinary practices and how they articulate critical insights about placemaking, belonging, and occupation. Building on last year’s contribution to buffer fringe 2019 - ‘The Urban Glenti’ - CCFT proposes to create a unique dialogical and negotiated creative exchange to take place on-line within a dedicated exposition: Images, sounds, texts, interviews, moving image are going to be used to contest the idea of fixed documentation in order to acknowledge how our relationship to places are not static and where conflict/tension/uncertainty also defines the creative process itself. CCFT’s work methodology builds on established mutual respect; track record and insight, rooted in a continued collaborative relationship that has emerged through trust and dialogue. Our focus is on practice-based research methods exploiting the creative intersection between image and text, presented as performance, publication, installation, architectural work, design intervention, music works, and spatial practice. In the intersection of these formulations, we seek to explore the expanded concept of “the atlas” as a dissemination strategy. ATLAS – the order of memory - simultaneously linear and cyclic, ordered and labyrinthine, open to infinite interpretation and analysis — a form of mnemonic iteration – physical and virtual.

Building on our contribution to Buffer Fringe 2020 – ‘fluid territories: nomadic on-line dialogue’ – and our physical participation in the festival in 2019 – ‘The Urban Glenti’ – CCFT proposes a further development of our online dialogues between internationally dispersed contributors.

In the artistic research project 'Not design, but design' we have explored social design and the extended designer role.

Inspired by the Austrian philosopher Otto Neurath’s statement from the 1920s, Words divide, pictures unite, and his vision to democratize communication through creating a common visual language, we investigate how visuality can brigde the gaps between people with different cultural and social backgrounds.

The human voice is vital to the creation of rituals around important and existential life events: to celebrate, to mourn, to commemorate, to protest. Speeches, chants, singing, intoning, shouting are all used to mark these events. What happens when the voice itself is dangerous, instead of healing? How do we engage in ritual and vocal expression? This explores the actions and sounding strategies taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Oslo, spring 2020.

This exposition shows information on projects and project results from research fellows who have done their artistic research within the frame of the Norwegian Artistic Research Fellowship Programme. This Fellowship Programme is parallel to other research educations organised as academic PhD programmes. Its intention is to secure high level artistic research, and leads to expertise as Associate Professor. The Artistic Research Fellowships Programme is among the first in this field in Europe. The research fellows have completed their projects at one of the Norwegian Institutions that offer one or more creative and/or performative art education programmes and have participated in a common research school run by the Programme Board. This exposition present research fellows that have graduated, and the aim for the exposition is to make visible the artistic research funded, or otherwise supported, by the programme. The author is the administrative leader at the programme and there has been no review on the exposition.
