3 History tells us that Norway has been a source of provocation to humanity’s imagination since ancient Director’s Foreword times. As a land once thought to be at the edge of the world, it is a place that has prompted questions about the boundaries and definition of the globe.

Norway is indeed a land from which the very fron- tiers of thought can be re-imagined, and artists can play a vital role in this process, reconsidering the world and its urgent aesthetic, political, social and environmental dilemmas.

Such was the case for a generation of artists ac- tive in Norway during the 1970s and 1980s, many of whom were women, whose work is only belatedly receiving the critical attention it deserves. In 2014 Unwoven World: Beyond the Pliable Plane – curated by OCA’s Antonio Cataldo – honoured the practice of Norwegian artists Brit Fuglevaag, Elisabeth Haarr and Sidsel Paaske, who in the 1970s explored the domestic sphere and the everyday consumer object. These artists engaged in an intensive quest for a return to traditional crafts, challenged the means deemed appropriate to the creation of a work of art, as well as questioning the values that place that art in the public realm. Presenting key works, some of which had never been seen publicly before, ‘Unwo- ven World: Beyond the Pliable Plane’ functioned as Installation views of an index of a historic genealogy, reactivated through ‘Unwoven World: Beyond the performativity of words, texts and concerts (in the Pliable Plane’. Photo: collaboration with Ultima). On the occasion of this OCA/ Vegard Kleven exhibition OCA also presented the first English translation of Paaske’s poem Indigo, originally pub- lished in 1979.

‘Unwoven World: Beyond the Pliable Plane’ marked the completion of the programme ‘Fashion: the Fall of an Industry’, a series of lectures held at OCA in the autumn of 2013. The lectures analysed the decline of the textile industry during the 1970s in Norway as well as artistic reaction to and reflection upon the unforeseen aspects of industrialisation, the need to care for environmental and working con- ditions, and the social impact experienced through the outsourcing of production.

The exhibition was accompanied by a selection from Concert of Kim Myhr in Alexander Kluge’s eclectic collection of ‘Raw Materi- trio with Morten Olsen als’, a series of television programmes assembling and Valerio Tricoli on 7 photographs, drawings, diagrams and diverse foot- May 2014

Artistic Director of the Samdani Art Foundation, the world’s largest South Asia focused art festival, and the Chief Curator of the Dhaka Art Summit, Diana Campbell Betancourt came to Oslo in October within OCA’s International Visitor Programme. Her intense research pro- gramme in Oslo opened many doors for a variety of artists in Norway, and it was during her stay that we agreed on a major collaboration to be developed in 2016, to empower critical writing across geogra- phies and histories, the Critical Writing Ensembles, about which I will comment in greater detail in the next Annual Report.

Norway is changing, and how it does so impacts the world in more ways than we can currently imagine. As temperatures rise, and the melting of glaciers and ice caps increases, the very geography of the world changes, shifting and redefining polarities of north and south. Connecting artistic communities to the global south is as much a political task as a geographical one. We look for answers, trajectories and new ways of moving forward.

228 2014 229 Visitors In the beginning of 2014 OCA continued its programmatic activities under the umbrella of the Programme OCA semesterplan, which functioned as OCA’s public programme of exhibitions, talks, lectures, seminars, and symposia. The OCA semesterplan also incorporated a public platform related to OCA’s wider discursive frame as developed within the context of OCA’s public projects and the Verksted publication series and the initiatives presented by participating artists, curators, and critics within OCA’s ISP and IVP programmes. The main programmatic framing structures of the 2014 OCA semesterplan were the projects ‘Unwoven World: Beyond the Pliable Plane’ and ‘Alexander Kluge. Raw materials: Present Impressions, Past Wishes, Future Fulfillment’.

In the autumn of 2014 OCA launched ‘Notations’. During the next years OCA Notations will unfold as a series of programmematic activities — performing, writing, thinking, fragmenting, exhibiting, moving, eating and socialising —, which will explore the institution’s desire to reflect upon the potential for artistic practice as an alchemical sphere of public action. The spirit of OCA Notations is embodied by the interrelated and circular relations designed by Hans Gremmen — OCA’s long-term graphic designer. The Notations replace the institution’s previous Semesterplan.

OCA Notations will be activated by participating artists, curators, writers, critics and intellectuals of diverse disciplines and take place within OCA’s public space in Oslo. Their explorations will find synergies with OCA’s interrelated national and international activities, as well as its publication series Verksted. Seeking to catalyse new thinking, OCA Notations will reflect upon the current state of affairs within the global arts by shifting the accent from the dynamics of exchange and production to those of social reproduction.

OCA Notations launched with the project ‘Of Love, Departures and Countering Defeats in Choleric Times. Three Stagings’.

238 2014 239 OCA Notations OCA’s Verksted is a series of publications launched by Office for Contemporary Art Norway in 2003, with the aim to commission research focused on current discourses relating to contemporary cultural Publications production, culture and aesthetics. The Verksted series constitutes an integral part of OCA’s programme to investigate the relationship between philosophy and aesthetics in the form of interrelated seminars and workshops. The OCA publications explore not only the most recent tendencies in art production but review particular points of political radicalism throughout the Modernist period.

The project explores how artists such as Thomas Bewick, Frans Masereel and Albert Jærn (in printed form), Hannah Ryggen (through her tapestries) and Peder Balke and Lars Hertervig (in their paintings) employed graphic forms to address the world in which they lived, picturing their environment and the cultural and political changes of their time, trying to intervene in their contexts by combining narration and the vernacular, and embracing the role of the artist as a modern, self-reflective subject.

Raw Materials: Present Impressions, Past Wishes and Future Fulfillment’, as presented at OCA, resonates with larger concerns within the Norwegian art milieu of the 1970s regarding what ‘art for people’ should be. The latter was eloquently exemplified by Elisabeth Haarr’s retrospective essay Fantasy in Service of the People (2008), reflecting upon militancy and realistic narrative as well as abstraction and non-narration as different forms of approaching the subject.

In June OCA also presented the screening of Assault of the Present Upon the Rest of Time (1985), directed by Alexander Kluge.

Project: Alexander Kluge. 258 2014 259 Raw Materials The Office of Contemporary Art Norway presented ‘Love Letter to Mars’, the first performative moment in Project: ‘Love Letter the programme ‘Of Love, Departures and Countering Defeats in Choleric Times. Three Stagings’, a project that evolved through three individual, yet interconnected stagings involving lecture performances, talks, to Mars’ unfinished moments and exhibition fragments, all of which contributed to speculations around the choleric moment we are experiencing globally.

‘Love Letter to Mars’ was a project by artists Lara Khaldi and Yazan Khalili. Their starting point was an unfinished lecture performance that unfolds formally into various exhibition fragments. The performance was based on an exchange of letters between two earthly lovers and a fictional character named Waad, who left for Mars in the year 2024 and planned to reside there for the rest of her life. Modern man has plundered Earth at a pace that has outstripped the planet’s capacity to support human life. In order to survive, Earth’s population begins to move to other planets in the third decade of the century.

‘Love Letter to Mars’ encompassed text, voice, video, photography and sound to present a constellation of aesthetic fragments from Earth, the desert, the Gulf, Palestine, outer space and the red planet. Khaldi and Khalili worked with fictitious yet plausible documentation of life and its ‘urban environment’ that might have existed once, or will do in the future, on Mars. The letters give rise to conflicting opinions regarding their friend’s decision to leave, which creates an unsurpassable rift: should they stay and be dedicated to the transformation of planet Earth or, in despair, should they look to shape other communities and colonies elsewhere?

With this project the artists continue their research in revitalising the epistolary genre, developed in the last years with ‘All the Other Lovers’ (2012) and ‘Love Letters to a Union’ (2013).

In addition Kunstkritikk did a review of ‘Alexander Kluge: Raw Materials – Present Impressions, Past Wishes and Future Fulfillments’. Local papers covered the OCA Pop-Up series in Trondheim, Tromsø and Kirkenes. Following a press conference held at OCA on 30 October 2014 in which artist Camille Norment was officially appointed to represent Norway within the 56th International Art Exhibition — La Biennale di Venezia, the Norwegian media, both online magazines, daily papers and the Norwegian national broadcasting company NRK released the news.
