Program Description

On the edge of the open ocean we find Bø municipality. Wind-swept and wildly beautiful, with white chalky beaches, lustrous yellow mountainsides and green pastures. Located in the centre of Bø is Parkvoll, a museum oasis that the municipality and Bø Museum are working to develop as a place for play and experiences of art in the great outdoors. This makes the place particularly suitable for a residency stay with a focus on art, play and nature. The first residency stay will be used to become familiar with the local community, do research, meet local citizens and partners in collaboration, and begin the creative process. During the second stay of the residency, we wish to focus on presentation and, if possible, link this to already existing cultural events. This phase involves the production of a final work that will be shared with the public. Read more here: https://www.airv.no/b%C3%B8?lang=en
