We end the season with a summer gathering outside the Welfare Building at Sandbekk!

We're betting on sunshine and good weather, and lighting the grill :)
It will be possible to buy barbecue food (Vipps)

(If the weather isn't perfect for grilling, we'll make a vegetarian stew instead and eat indoors)

Come hang out and get to know us and our artists better!

The artists in residence with us will have a presentation of their work:

VELFERDEN PRESENTS #04 / 25: Hedberg and Moi

Come to Velferden and meet the visual artists Anna Carin Hedberg and Ebba Moi, who are at residency with us in May.

VELFERDEN PRESENTS is a series of events where artists and researchers present themselves and their work, creating a space for joint dialogue.

Time and place: the Velferden-building at Sandbekk, May 26th at 5:00 PM

Welcome!

Anna Carin Hedberg and Ebba Moi participate in Velferden's programme WASTE / DEPOSIT and is working on a project that has been given the working title Sand Studies. In the project They investigate mining waste as a material, social and psychological resource. The project takes as its starting point the Sandbekk sand dump as a space for change, memory and co-creation. Through a local anchoring, the artists explore how what is left behind in the landscape can contribute to a collective exploratory process that contributes to a narrative about the area.

For VELFERDEN PRESENTS the artists will test out an interactive sand installation as part of the exploration for the exhibition to take place in 2026. They will also give an informal presentation about their thoughts and plans for the project.

Ebba Moi is a visual artist and works mainly within public space and socially engaged art. She is also part of the collective Tenthaus and a curator in various self-initiated projects and collaborations, in addition to being the chairwoman of Kunstnernes Hus. 

Anna Carin Hedberg is a visual artist, and her practice is about participation as a form of work and landscape based on social contact. In addition to her own art projects, she is currently involved in a practice-based research project at the National Museum in Oslo. A common denominator in their artistic collaboration is the concept of change. Changes that occur in landscape, language or in a material - over time.
