The North Escaping: Grasping Transformations brings to Bioart Society’s SOLU Space elements of research, processes and works emerging from artists and curators Neal Cahoon, Espen Sommer Eide, Erik Fallgren, Christine Hvidt, Anne Lindgaard Møller, Hilde Methi and Hannah Wiker Wikström who had their The North Escaping residencies at Kilpisjärvi Biological Station during the Spring and Summer of 2024.
During their residencies, each responded in their own ways to theme of The North Escaping, which engages with how climate change is rapidly transforming weather, ecosystems, habitats, livelihoods, and cultures with an emphasis on those situated in the northern latitude.
With these transdisciplinary research residencies still fresh, research continuing to inform practices, and fieldwork transforming into artworks, this exhibition is an exciting opportunity to make public the methodologies, mediums, and materials they explored in an attempt to grasp the shift in time and space of this unique locale.
The North Escaping program consists of transdisciplinary residencies at Kilpisjärvi Biological Station. The aim of the residencies is to explore the current and approaching transformations in the North, investigate the possible consequences of these developments, and how we can build cultural capacities to deal with them. The residencies call for the arts to work with design, architecture, natural sciences, humanities, engineering, Indigenous stakeholders, the public at large – and others who feel they have a say in this – in transdisciplinary collaborations to develop new skills and knowledge. The program is supported by Nordic Culture Point.
