FELLOWSHIP MEETING/SEMINAR
Voksenåsen Conference centre, Oslo
14 - 15 MARCH 2005

I attended the winter meeting for The Programme for Research Fellowships in the Arts, a compulsary part of the programme attended by candidates, supervisors, board members and other observers.

The first day kicked off with a workshop about how to present ourselves and our projects in the public arena. The first exercise involved writing a press release for our finished artworks - a hypothetic situation at the current state of time, as the projects are not yet complete. Secondly, we were each subjected to a simulated TV interview where we were questioned about our artworks. The course was led by Anders Cappelen.

The first part of the second day was dedicated to project presentations by new candidates, myself included, and updates from those who had been on the program longer. After lunch a discussion was initiated regarding how and if one can speak about art in terms of quality, followed up by a round of discussions about the final evaluation process.
