Within and Beyond Planetary Cycles
On-going research project with SixtyEight Art Institute
An interdisciplinary research project situated at the island Ven and beyond. Participants with different practices are invited to observe, sense, explore, research, and reflect upon meanings, practices, and consequences of being in tune with or disconnected from various planetary cycles such as the circadian rhythm and the seasons. The first gathering happened in May 2024 at Åsa Sonjasdotter's residence at Ven with artists Åsa Sonjasdotter, Anu Ramdas, and Helena Fernández-Cavada.
The project involves on-site work, gatherings, shorter residencies, and exhibitions, and includes artistic and curatorial research and academic scientific input. At the same time, the project is a network project in the Nordics, where curators, organizations, and smaller art institutions meet and discuss and think along with natural cycles to elaborate on formats and ways of working more sustainably with art production.
Funders of the project are Nordic Culture Point, Nordisk Kulturkontakt, and Augustinus Fund.
The project is managed collectively by Sara Rossling, Christopher Sand-Iversen and Rebekka Elisabeth Anker-Møller
