When in town she is developing the ongoing project «Hollow Earth»: http://newmineralcollective.tumblr.com/ focusing on Northern landscape – untamed wilderness, polar expedition, climate changes, mining, national romanticism – combined with research connected to future projects for Barents Spektakel 2016. Tanya’s stay in Kirkenes includes a field trip to the Kola Superdeep Borehole, an attempt to drill as deep as possible into the Earth’s crust. Pikene på Broen invited the Norwegian writer and journalist, Gunnar Kopperud, for a weeklong residency ending in a writer’s workshop for Norwegian and Russian youth at Basen in Kirkenes. Gunnar Kopperud is of the two workshop leaders. His main focus is on the Norwegian participants. The Russian writer and historian, Kirill Kobrin, is also an artist in residence, and not to forget, the second leader of the youth workshop at Basen. Moreover, Kirill Kobrin is writing an article about Kirkenes for the magazine Neprokosnovenniy Zapas, which will be published in the end of November.
