Upcoming Projects in Seoul and Incheon 2008

I am no longer living in Bergen, Norway, but instead in my current hometown of Seoul, South Korea. I have a separate project based blog(Please check the LINKS), which now that I'm not posting anymore on here. therefore to continue this blog under the current title would be meaningless. But if you are interested in what I'm doing now please check Grassroots global outsourcing inc . My upcoming temping office+workstation+agency project with my Norwegian gang Again. This will be part of Mobile Cube and will be curated by Jaejun Lee, the architect-Seoul City Gallery Project with SDO (Seoul Design Olympiad 2008)...

AND another group show for a plastic factory in Incheon in Oct 2008...I'm planning to hire a migrant worker living in Korea to be a one-day DJ. (The worker will actually be a cultural ambassador for three different countries.) This 'ambassador' will receive training and compensation for work as a DJ. He or she will play a compilation of Norwegian music for the opening party of "ID Drawing Gig" at a functioning plastic factory in the industrial port city of Incheon, Korea. Incheon is a symbol of multiculturalism with a history embedded with colonialism and global trade. Within one city exists a strong Korean, Chinese, Japanese, British, and American presence. "The 'ambassador' will introduce the Bergen music, selected by the
artist(from Korea) from her artist residency in Norway, to a Korean audience. All selected music is streamed at the Moroccan Radio Apartment #22 online radio stationunder the title of "Scratching Surface Diving in Deep", co-curated by AnneSzefer Karlsen and Abdellah Karroum."
