Project description and schedule on Bergen Academy website

Nordic Panoramic Interchange addresses questions of the cultural and political history, the common as well as the divisive nature of the “nordic landscape”. Essentially it will focus on landscape and what a contemporary understanding of a panorama might be or become. Four specific countries have been chosen for their obvious topographical, ethnographical, historical and architectural differences. For example, Norway, Iceland, Vilnius and Sweden all have unique landscapes, mountains and fjords, volcanic terrain, forests and lakes then flat agricultural planes. This is the starting point offering dramatic ranges of distinction. However the aim of the project is not to deal exclusively with the obvious. The notion of landscape can be stretched to the most extreme lengths, including notions as widely apart as a media, political, financial or ecological landscapes. Looking outside of the “traditional” representation of landscape we talk of and experience the following variants.

Hardscape - landscaping the heavily urbanized and suburbanized
Mediascape - how visual media imagery impacts the work
Seascape - depictions of the sea
Softscape - flowers, plants, shrubs and trees
Soundscape - sounds and combinations of sonic immersive environments
Talkscape - socially constructed spaces of human activity
Mindscape – a space for conceptual thinking
Timescape - a space for political and historical discourse

Welcome to Nordic Panoramic Interchange

Artists, that is teachers and students, from the Art Academies of Reykjavik, Vilnius, Stockholm and Bergen will be meeting for workshops in the respective cities, places, landscapes and countries to look at, study and learn, to create a dialogue, to research and develop artistic works related to the idea of the panoramic in the context of a nordic and baltic cultural, social, geographical and historical backdrop.

The project was initiated by Lei Cox and Karen Kipphoff. At this point these artist teachers are involved: Hulda Stefansdottir from Reykjavik, Olav Westphalen from Stockholm and Karen Kipphoff from Bergen.

Nordic Panoramic Interchange is supported by KUNO, the network of 16 Fine Arts Education Institutes of Scandinavia and the Baltic Countries. Nordic panoramic Interchange will get together in Umeå this weekend, Oct.23-25th to determine the further time and workshop plan.
