At Work With: First day of humid joy

First day of humid joy

Fantastic Norway has moved in armed with polar expedition jackets and woolen hats. Venice is pouring and the pavillion is leaking.

We will within a week of humid joy develop a project analysing the peculiar camping culture of Norway. During this week we will develop ideas that could attract new groups to camping, as well as the existing values and culture are preserved.

Fantastic Norway´s contribution will contain bits of social analysis, interraction, randomness, eclectic meetings, items, dreams and surprises.

We´ll let the humidity of Venice glued to Sverre Fehn´s window design on this QUESTA PRIMA PHOTO illustrate the present mystic of this spot and the so far blurry development of this project.

at work with

At Work With is a project focusing on architecture as practise. Initiated by Economy (Tor Lindstrand) and Testbedstudio (Anders Johansson and Erik Wingquist), it takes the form of an office environment with a residency program during the three months in the Nordic Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. At Work With is conceived as a workspace for seminars, screenings, discussions, displays, practices, projects, meetings, modelling, projections, provocations, interactions, broadcasts, dreams, cooking and whims. Constructed as a continuous staging of meetings between practitioners and visitors, it is a working office as well as a social meeting point that emphasizes exchange and conversations about architecture. The project was commissioned by the Swedish Museum of Architecture.
