If Paradise Is Half As Nice #13

We are very excited to have been invited to act as curator of the Salangen Biennale 2023. Our project this year will take place around the remnants of an old iron mine at the Salangen Fjord in Northern Norway; a very exciting location with a rich history set within a unique Arctic landscape. We will face new challenges and hope to find new inspiration and to create a lot of new connections.

With a total of 13 participants from the Netherlands, as well as from the Nordic countries, we will travel to Salangen and start working on site as of June 19th. For 5 weeks we will explore not only the old factory and its ruins, but also the tracks of the old cable lift up the mountain and the remnants of the mine on top of the 600 meter high mountain.

This years Paradise participants will be: Michiel Jansen (NL), Ties Ten Bosch (NL), Pim Palsgraaf (NL), Esther Kokmeijer (NL), Guus Vreeburg (NL), Willem Besselink (NL), Torbjörn Johansson (SE), Hilde Angel Danielsen (NO), Siri Tolander (SE), Jens Stegger Ledaal (NO), Jan Hakon Erichsen (NO), Lada Suomenrinne (FI) and Maurice Bogaert (NL).

The final presentation will be from July 21-23 2023 at: Salangs Verket – 9350 Sjøvegan, Norway. Apart from that we will present film screenings, lectures, guided tours and discussions during our 5 week stay at Salangen.
