We ended the season with a summer gathering at the Velferden building at Sandbekk!

The artists who were in residence with us gave a presentation of their work:

VELFERDEN PRESENTS #04 / 25: Hedberg and Moi

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

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 tested out an interactive sand installation as part of the exploration for the exhibition that will take place in 2026. They also gave 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.
