Anna Carin Hedberg and Ebba Moi
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 working form and landscape based on social contact. In addition to her own art projects, she is currently working on 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.
Anna Carin Hedberg and Ebba Moi participate in Velferden's programme WASTE / DEPOSIT and are working on a project that has been given the working title Sandplay (sand studies?) In the project they investigate mining waste as a material, social and psychological resource. Inspired by Bruno Latour's theory of material actors, the project takes 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.
