Description
In the frame of the 90 anniversary of the Svalbard treaty, antipodes café presented the second solo exhibition of the project “Explorations in the Norwegian flag”.
The exhibition included:
- A timeline of the history of the Norwegian flag, including official suggestions , both redraw with a same criteria as in the website of the project.
- An installation presenting more than 500 proposals of personal flags made in workshops, related to the project, at diverse schools around the country.
- An interactive installation called “Endre”, where the current Norwegian flag could be altered by visitors.
- An interactive installation where visitors were allowed to develop their own flag, or see the flag designed by others by using the digital platforms ”Skape” and ”Se”.
- The subtle artwork ”Memoria”, where all windows of the gallery were blinded, as a gesture reminding the windows of Oslo, -still- covered after the terrorist attack in Oslo.
The exhibition was open the same day as the 90 anniversary of the Svalbard treaty and was promoted and covered by local media.
