Meta Comics presents:  Karolin Tampere and Åse Løvgren are the curators of an upcoming temporary exhibition project entitled COMMON LANDS, which will take place in Bjørvika, Oslo during 2009 – 10. Bjørvika is the former harbour area of the City of Oslo, currently under major development and construction. The ongoing development will reconstruct the former industrial harbour into a site for commercial enterprises, living, working and recreation. Bjørvika will become a new part of the city centre with a strong cultural prescence with the newly built Opera and the relocated Munch-Stenersen Museum to be built in the area. Løvgren and Tampere have invited three artist duos to create new works taking the transformation of the area as a starting point. Geir Tore Holm and Søssa Jørgensen, Bik Van der Pol, Dellbrügge & de Moll. The projects will be produced and presented from 2009 to the beginning of 2010. The artists are invited to invest time in the area, gaining knowledge and an understanding of Bjørvika, the specific city-development process in this area and imagine what impact this new part of the city might have for Oslo.
