Challenging preconceptions about the forms and timespan of conventional public artworks, these projects promise a new approach to working with artists in sites of regeneration. Conceived as a programme that will unfold over time, through collective activity, often in collaboration with existing organisations and artist-run initiatives across the city.
Bjørvika Utvikling is responsible for the construction of the commons, water promenade and technical infrastructure in the new city district in Oslo. More than 1% of the investment budget for the commons is dedicated to art in public space. In addition to the permanent art projects, Bjørvika Utvikling established Kunsthall Oslo as part of our overall art strategy in 2010.
