// ART PROJECT "Timecell", Egge School/ Lier 2024

"Timecell" is a collaborative work with the sculptor M.Kuhn and an art project for the Egge School which is based on a commission from the Lier municipality to carry out an art project with the students. To learn, reflect and actively participate. "Timecell" refers to the 100th anniversary of the school and the idea of making this historic time visible locally and internationally. The topic of "Timecell" with regard to the future is documented and demands attention by a large stone plate in the floor of the entrance area. Another sculpture project that refers to the past and actively involves children will follow in the outdoor area in June 2024.

// Art project Egge School Lier/Norway June, 2024

Commission from Lier Municipality awarded through an art competition for public spaces/ collaborative work with the sculptor M.Kuhn

This project actively involves the students of the Egge School in the art process. The "Timecell" idea is based on the school's 100th birthday, as well as the fact that the school is located on a terminal moraine and thus creates an imaginary connection to the Ice Age. The theme of time and stone is the theme of the art project, which cuts up a moraine stone and asks the students to find symbols from the last 100 years in class, which can be linked to the history of the school. The symbols tell stories and create memories and encourage reflection. We artists prepare the Larvikite stone and bring the selection of symbols onto the stone surfaces using sandblasting technology. Placed in the school grounds, the sculptures invite to discover, climb and think.

This order includes the integration of the entrance area of the new building into an artistic statement and the creation of an identity and invitation to linger.

# Oslo Kvadratur

The exhibition was a collaborative project between 5 architectural offices and 4 artists; who worked with wood, stone, film and graphics. 
The exhibition rooms in the Oslo district "Kvadratur" invited visitors to engage with and experience the old district in the area. My contribution was a printed representation of my photographic experiences on a day tour through the houses and streets in the area. In keeping with literary models, it was about experiencing the different levels of a daily routine. The contrasts between the old, historic Oslo and today's modern, consumer-oriented district were fascinating.
