territory
territory refers to possession, conflict and control, it speaks of history and consequences. Territory is managed space; marked for development or protected or exploited for raw materials, used to displace or contain, it is socially constructed. The production of territory is the institutionalisation of space to achieve control. Territory manifests a slow transgenerational violence.
Sluice and PADA are bringing together an interdisciplinary selection of artist and curator-led projects to explore the impact and interconnections of the ecological, environmental and political consequences of this violence.
Siri Sandersen
Siri Sandersen works within an expanded field of printmaking, where key aspects of her practice include graphic lines, impressions, casts or traces, as well as the use of experimental printing methods. Her visual work often takes the landscape and place as its point of departure, engaging with site-specific themes
Maj-Gret Gaupås
« The different ways of mark-making can give the viewer associations to places in nature, or the mixture of imagery arriving from a place between idea, dream, and memory. »
Maj-Gret Gaupås is a Norwegian artist whose paintings have been exhibited nationally, as well as in Germany, the United Kingdom, and Portugal. The Norwegian landscape and a sense of storytelling inform the shapes and movements of her canvas. Gaupås' abstract compositions are created using a variety of materials, including acrylics, pastels, wax, and spray paint on canvas or paper.

Verena Winkelmann
Stine Gonsholt
og Åse Løvgren
Gonsholt and Løvgren work with investigations into how local processes of change can be understood in relation to global processes. The project takes as its point of departure the ways in which smaller places are connected to the global economy and development. Traces of production, ownership, and human activity in the landscape are central. The focus of the work is on collecting information and stories, conducting research, and translating this material through artistic methods and materials, often presented as installations.
