Norway-based artists to participate in the field laboratory Field_Notes – Living Methodologies in Kilpisjärvi Biological Station, Enontekiö, Sápmi.
Organized by Bioart Society, the laboratory responds to shifts in the field of art and science insisting that how we research matters. During the laboratory a group of participants will work together to examine, exchange and experiment with different methods and approaches towards shaping a future ethics and politics of researching in the field in Kilpisjärvi and beyond.
Half of the working group are invited experts, including theorist, researcher and artist Anastasia (A) Alevtin, Sámi-Norwegian interdisciplinary artist and musician Elina Waage Mikalsen, artist-researcher Sam Nightingale, practice-led cultural theorist Astrida Neimanis, veterinary pathologist and researcher Aleksija Neimanis, and artist and researcher Leena Valkeapää. Other half of the group consists of professionals who applied to the open call we facilitated earlier this Spring, including researcher Ellie Ballantine, research-based multidisciplinary artist Marjolijn Dijkman, visual artist and researcher Hanna Husberg, audio sculptress, sound artist & curator/facilitator Antye Greie-Ripatti (AGF), architect Camille Sineau, visual artist Taylor Alaina Liebenstein Smith, designer/researcher Manuel Díaz Tufinio, and the Zettel & Sivanesan duo.
About Field_Notes
Field_Notes is an art and science field laboratory organised by Bioart Society at the Kilpisjärvi Biological Station of the University of Helsinki in Sápmi since 2011. The previous Field_Notes editions include Cultivating Grounds (2011), Deep Time (2013), HYBRID MATTERs (2015), EOS (2018), The Heavens (2019) and Traces (2021), and The North Escaping (2023).
As part of the Feral Labs Network, Field_Notes deconstructs the concept of the traditional scientific laboratory in favour of research and knowledges that are situated and responsive to locales and contexts. Here the land and human/more-than-human ecosystems are not something to simply research in or about but research with. Read more on Bioart Society’s webpage.
