Welcome to the ribbon-cutting ceremony for KMD’s new artist residency! STUDIO (Studio) #2 will be lifted into place next to The Unfinished Institution at Laksevåg, Wednesday 13. August at 13:00.
We are working on a publication that aims to document central events of STUDIO 2017-2025 and to reflect around ideas and practices that STUDIO has evoked.
KORO Public Art Norway's project STUDIO is part of the public art production for the Faculty's new building in Møllendalsveien 61. Its processual form connects to the installation Ephemerality – A Permanent Collection, unveiled when the building opened in 2017. STUDIO will explore studio practices, workspaces and work processes in fine art, music and design. The project aims to create collaborations across disciplines at KMD and between KMD and professional art practices, institutions and the public. Throughout history, studios have framed individual practices, teaching, professional and public exchanges.
STUDIO is curated by Merete Røstad and Hild Borchgrevink. At KORO Public Art Norway, STUDIO has been headed by curators Nora C. Nerdrum, Pernille Nordby and Trond Hugo Haugen. At KMD, STUDIO has a working group with members from all departments.
In STUDIO (studio), students from Bergen School of Architecture (BAS) and KMD explore studios as physical, social, private and public spaces. The course series is led by the artists Eamon O'Kane and Sveinung Unneland from KMD and architect Espen Folgerø from BAS.
In STUDIO Residency, the three departments (Fine arts, Music and Design) at KMD can invite artists, professionals and partners from Bergen, Norway and abroad to participate in STUDIO through a month's residency in Bergen.
