April 6-May 26, 2012
Gendai Workstation,1265 Bloor St. West
Hours: Tue.-Sat., 11am-6pm

Opening Reception
Saturday April 14, 2012, 8-11pm

Unlike the neutral spaces of museums, art galleries and artist-run centres, the Gendai Workstation functions as a constantly evolving site of collaborative construction, installation, architecture and renovation. Artists, architects, builders, curators and others; magicians, chefs, and gardeners to name a few, are invited to contribute to the physical and theoretical development of the space. Changing the focus from a finished product to an ongoing process of construction and collaboration allows for a move away from reified forms of knowledge to a multifarious dialogue, which, at every instance, provides possibilities for improvisation and interrogating the underpinnings on which artistic and architectural forms of knowledge are built.

Call for Artists: Bodø Culture Quarter

Posted on April 4, 2012 by CPAMO

Deadline: 16 April 2012.

www.koro.no

Artists, arts and craftsmen, and affiliated groups are hereby invited to prequalify for the provision of art to the new Culture Quarter in Bodø, Norway.

Bodø is situated just north of the Arctic Circle. It is Northern Norway’s second largest city and is an important communication point for travellers and tourists, including to the famous Lofoten Islands. Both the city and the region have long cultural traditions, upholding and producing works and events of international note. Historically, they have been home to, amongst others, the Nobel laureate Knut Hamsun. Today the region is well known for Lofoten International Art Festival and the Nordland Music Festival, attracting the best of Norwegian and international artists and performers.

The Culture Quarter is focused around two buildings; a city library and a concert hall and theatre. The project is located in the heart of the city of Bodø, adjacent to the harbour promenade. The surrounding cityscape will also be upgraded. Together, and in conjunction with changes to the urban landscape and harbour frontage, the buildings will create a new cultural focus for Bodø. They will be ‘living rooms’ for the city. The buildings are designed by DRDH Architects, London, and will officially open in 2014. Continue reading →
