The installation 'Borettslaget fuglesko' has been demounted, after it was exhibited between Abril-September in Lillehammer, Norway. Six birdhouses shaped like shoes, were placed hanging from power lines in order to offer a temporarily housing solution to migratory birds.

It was also demounted 'Arise' an installation placed in front of the Munch Museum, Oslo, Norway between August and October, as part of the exhibition (Dis)Placement.

ARISE a site-specific installation openend as part of (DIS)placement, 20th August-02th October, an exhibition by Norsk Billedhoggerforening

ARISE is a site-specific piece that recalls a dike, a levee, a structure build to content floods or maybe a defense emplacement, a barricade, a check point.

A pile of sandbags irrupts the landscape, a horizontal line above the ground lifted up to make a mark: a statement to contemporary situation in Oslo, where the relocalization of Munchs and Stenersen Museums, together with the Deichmanske Library and the National Museum in Vestbanen are urbanistic and political decisions that will gather Oslo’s main cultural institutions in a single neighborhood.

ARISE attempts to create a debate about Oslo’s east side cultural landscape. After the defeat over Munchs Museum, is this part of town depleted of cultural institutions? Or was it just a loss over its single tourist attraction? At Oslo’s east there are ateliers and some lively neighborhoods with their own galleries, museums and botanical gardens, but still there is a lack of a hub for culture and arts in this part of town, and even for the whole Groruddalen valley.

ARISE proposes the raise of a cornerstone, a foundation stone for a future scenario. While at the same time it points out to the lack of economical resources and political will to create a solid and permanent structure (institution) in Oslo’s east, where almost two-thirds of Oslo’s inhabitants have their homes.

The exhibition will be held open from 20th August-02 October 2011. ARISE will be demounted between 01.09-08.09 for maintenance.

The art project 'Alheli/Gyldenlak' was granted with economical support from Vederlagsfond from the Norwegian Visual Arts Association (NBK)

'Alheli/Gyldenlak' will take place between August 2010 and August 2011. This project deals with the placement of gardens made out of non-native plants that arrived to Norway by commercial ships that used ballast water as method to balance the weight on their cargo.

On previous centuries, water was taken up at sea by cargo ships and released in port, becoming a major source of exotic wildlife. Some species adapted to the environment and survived, as it is the case of many plants that were regarded as aliens and nowadays are part of the Norwegian landscape, as in the case of Pineapple weed (Chamomilla suaveolens), Viper's Bugloss (Echium vulgare), Sticky Groundsel (Senecio viscosus) or Aegean wallflower (Cheiranthus cheiri) among others.

'Alheli/Gyldenlak' is the third and final chapter of the ‘Emerging Landscapes’ (2004-2011)
whose first chapter was ‘Polkagrishuset’ (2004-2005) an in situ installation and it’s video ‘Dear Neighbor’ (2006) with a solo exhibition at Christianssands Kunstforeningen (2007). Second chapter was ‘Hanging Gardens’ and its ‘Babylon Heights’ exhibition at ROM for Kunst og Arkitektur (February-April 2008) and the video 'The Mammoth and the Bee' presented at Oslo Bymuseum (April 2008-April 2009).

"Borettslaget fuglesko" has been chosen by Kunstnersenter i Oppland as part of the public art project Kunstgjødsel.

The proposal is to build birdhouses using shoefiti. This is an universal urban element that can be found in Norway too, but that hasn't yet shown a widespread at the county of Oppland, where the project will take place in the period 2010-2011.

Birdhouses will be build in wood, to give shelter to migratory birds during the spring and summer seasons.

The picture shows a prototype. The design and the locations will be developed and defined in months to come.
