Living in Bjørvika – Vi bor i Bjørvika
Geir Tore Holm and Søssa Jørgensen

Opening Thursday, April 8th from 18 – 20

Location: Look for a container behind The Opera House, by Akerselva river, Bjørvika
When: Opening hours from April 9 to April 18th, 12 – 17 pm
Contact: info(a)commonlands.net

The notion of art as dialogue-in-practice has been central to the collaborative work of Holm and Jørgensen. In the project Living in Bjørvika, they investigate Richard Florida’s theories of the ’creative class’ and the goals of a culturally and socially diverse population for this new urban area of Oslo.

Living in Bjørvika will present models and ideas for possible alternatives to the current plans for the area, with a view to addressing gaps in the projected framework.

Will there be many artists living and working in Bjørvika?

Common Lands – Allmannaretten is curated by Åse Løvgren and Karolin Tampere
