SPECIAL EDITION — IN SITU Focus: In conversation with Johannes Bellinkx, Nana Francisca Schottländer and Eva Bubla
A conversation between (UN)COMMON SPACES Associate Artists Johannes Bellinkx, Eva Bubla and Nana Francisca Schottländer, and Østfold Internasjonale Teater curator-producer James Moore. The conversation took place in May 2023 during parallel artistic residencies in Fredrikstad, Norway, in cabin belonging to the ornithological society BirdLife Østfold by the Øra Nature Reserve, and was edited by Sjoerd Leijten (who was in residence together with Bellinkx). Each artist was currently undertaking one of several extensive residency periods to support there process of investigating and responding to the territory and its inhabitants – both human and more-than-human. The conversation reflects upon their process and local encounters on their way toward a public program in 2024.
Subsequent to the conversation, Bellinkx created Watchtower, a series of landscape theatre installations presented 23.05–26.09.2024, Schottländer created Material Displacements, a combination of pop-up installations and performance interventions presented 29.08–26.09.2024, and Bubla proposed a concept for Gudebergjordet Protection Agency, which was not realised due to a variety of circumstances.
