WORKSHOP: VISIONARY
Monday 25th July to Friday 30th July.
In the summer of 2027 I am putting on a week long art workshop on the island of Halsnøy in Vestland, Norway. The theme of the workshop will circle around notions of the visionary and look to explore how we might bring this aspect into our practice. On the workshop there will be some exercises that look to help us explore the theme. For one session we will play with some of the methods used by biblical seers. The workshop will to have an openness to discussion and active suggestions from the group. The event will focus on the creation of ideas and visions. It will be experimental in its reach. We will spend time in the studio. There will be group forums and perhaps a guest talk. We will go on creative walks and spend some time in nature. You will have time to go on your own trips out too. And we will look to take time to enjoy food together.
The workshop intends to provide a platform to trigger new creativity toward asking what it means to seek envisagment. The workshop looks to find tools that may allows us into reimagining and to be creative imagers within our communities. There will also be given space to your own exploration.
The workshop and accommodation is free of charge. Some materials are available for use in the studio (a donation to materials cost can be given, but not expected). You need to cover food costs and your own travel expenses. The event will take place at Sunnhordland Folkehogskule. The accommodation will be one of the student houses. Some of the rooms are shared spaces. I’m able to offer 8 places.
Link to the dormitory. This will give you a rough idea to the rooms.
Traveling: The nearest airport is Bergen Flesland.
From the airport you need to travel by fast boat from Flesland Quay to Ranavik on Halsnøy. From Ranavik I can pick up and take you to the school.
