RANDOM THOUGHTS & NOTES
MEET THE STAKEHOLDERS - LOSÆTER- slow art
-‘council of wisdom’ - calling in people they respect to ask for ideas nd what they think of their ideas
- the ‘church’ of the village - meeting point of place/village, lively, where people gather
- reading the landscape
- økologisk spesial korn
- food production + culture is the essence of our society
- storing grains in roof of saunas (the losæter place acts as a sauna to keep grains/store grains)
- the artwork becomes a characater in the overall story
- developers: they have a mandate, budget, need to deliver. easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. don’t tell them everything at first (future library: she didn’t tell them about the 100yrs), and also choose the right time to tell them.
LECTURE WITH ANNE-BEATE HOVIND FOR LUTHER COLLEGE, IOWA.
Designing Trust through Future Libraries- thoughts that relate to what I want my artistic practice to be
- Anne-Beate Hovind= ‘we need trust among people’
-she provided several meaningful examples of places where social trust has produced profound positive changes
- ‘we need to exercise imagination and also exercise how to even increase our capacity to imagine futures (...) to discuss how we can create Utopias, how we can create hope through practice, my take o this is through art’ THIS!!!! this is the words that I need to describe what i want to do. instead of talking about time and moving towards a time when we take more time to do things (link with traditional crafts, the time it takes to do something has value, and teaches us the value of what we are doing, the materials we use, if we mess up, no more material and therefore no object created etc...)
-we have a tendency to choose what we can recognize as something you know
- artists teach empathy (YES!)
- A.B Hovind quotes Margaret Atwood from an interview: ‘The planet is changing. We need creativity, ambition and some powerful new stories to understand how we can change with it’. Margaret Atwood, State 15, Nw York, 2015.
- Katie Patterson (artist behind future library): publishes books about the ideas she isn’t going to make happen.
- it’s in the Old forests that biodiversity is at the biggest, Norway doesnt have enough Old forests left (Urskog right in norwegian?)
- we must focus on what we have in common
- Margaret Atwood about the future library: it’s about hope, it’s so hopeful. Because it insists there will be a future, there will be future readers, there will be people who look after this in 100 years. (ALSO LINK TO MY ARTIST PRACTICE, IMAGINGIN FUTURES TO FEEL HOPE), notion of empathy (there will be people caring about the project enough to carry on after A.B Hovind passes)
- The Guardian: ‘the future library is hope in practice
-A.B.H: to create these spaces, to go out of timeline and create these spaces is so important for all of us and take time to create Utopias.
- about the future library: it resonated with people across borders, ethnicities, religion and age, it crosses everything so there is something here that we share, that we have in common and that I want us to focus on more, more than what makes us different from each other. (THIS!!)
-if time was a landscape, it would open other kinds of perspectives
- Cathedral thinking (term coined by Stephen Hawking): it takes more than one generation to build a cathedral, so it’s a cross-generational time (...) it’s not about inheriting money or award or property, in the future it’s going to be about inheriting wealth i a cross-generational way.
- the good ancestor
- the intergenerational justice

MY WAY OF WRITING ?
- use quotes from aktuelt news/articles/books, and then
-find connecting quotes to litterature/poetry/artist’s quotes?
-narrative story
OWN THOUGHTS ABOUT MY ARTISTIC PRACTICE
- POSITIONALITY? where one stands determines what—and how—one sees.
- NARRATIVE: storytelling but also publishing?
- COLLABORATIVE: I need to work with people to make ideas together
- PARTICIPATORY: involving people in my art, somehow? (but is this really the case? I’ve never really done particpatory workshops before)
