Production residency at 0047, Oslo
In the third installment of Space Station, 0047 has invited Institute for Colour to take over its gallery and claim it as their own production space. During their stay at Schweigaardsgt 34 D, Institute for Colour will transform 0047 into a print-workshop where the artist-group will explore a new technique within their practice. The works produced during their stay at 0047 will be presented as part of an upcoming exhibition at Volt in Bergen, titled Gruppearbeid.
For Gruppearbeid, Institute for Colour has invited eight artist-groups (Lewis & Taggart, Ytter, Entreé, Hordaland kunstsenter, Tag Team Studio, Bergen Kjøtt, Knipsu and PreMisS) to submit material which will be combined into eight different prints, each featuring two or more of the submitted images. The results are layered products – manifestations of negotiations and decision-making processes between the artist collectives and institutions involved.
From April 29 to May 8, 0047 will present reminiscences of Institute for Colour's work process – drafts, experiments, mistakes and outtakes. The opening will take place April 29 at 7pm with a moving-out party.

Are there any tickets left? - A performance about the Opera in Bjørvika
As part of the European Opera Days 2010, the Norwegian Opera has invited us to collaborate with a soprano singer. The resulting piece will be performed three times on the roof of the Opera during the afternoon of 9 May.
Are there any tickets left? is a comedy about city development, with class rivalry as an important ingredient. The Institute for Colour has written a new libretto which will be performed to well-known melodies from operas by Bizet, Mozart and Verdi. We meet characters like the jubilant audience, angry commentators, visionary politicians and crafty developers.
The performance will start by the entrance at 14.30, 15.30 and 16.30. Welcome!

Manufacturing Today
The Institute for Colour participates in a workshop in Vilnius, Lithuania, January 7th-10th 2009. The workshop forms part of the larger project Manufacturing Today, organized by
Trondheim Art Academy, in cooperation with other organisations including Vilnius and Helsinki
academies, and Goldsmiths College. Curators: Will Bradley and Cristina Ricupero.
Manufacturing Today aims to develop the existing critique of the neo-liberal instrumentalisation of art and, particularly, art education, acknowledging recent interest and work in this area and asking how this might be directed towards practice. Art education has been the subject of a great deal of art world attention in the last couple of years. Factors such as the Bologna process and the increased attention given to the regulation and economisation of education; the temporarily overheated art market; the net-enabled resurgence of the free universities and the renewed currency of theories of autonomous education, have converged to temporarily situate the idea of the art academy, its possible forms and its alternatives, at the focus of the debate about the social role of art.

LIAF
The Institute for Colour is in the starting phase of a
project for Lofoten International Art Festival (LIAF). There will be alternative pedagogics, much fun and more about that later on.
From the LIAF press release (in Swedish):
From the LIAF press release (in Swedish):
LIAF jr är ett konstpedagogisk projekt i gränssnittet mellan praktisk arrangörskap och förmedling av samtidskonst. Under en intensiv arbetsperiod realiserar elever på en grundskola och ett gymanisum varsin samtida konsfestival. Projektet ställer sig frågande inför de vedertagna konventionerna för hur en samtida konstfestival, utställning formas. Eleverna utformar sin festival i en kreativ dialog med animatörerna. Projektet uppmärksammas också för att eleverna visar orginalverk från professionella konstnärer. Arbetet leder förhoppningsvis till en överraskande konsthändelse som äger rum fredagen 9 maj. kl 12:00.
LIAF är också stolta att presentera animatörerna för respektive skola. Svolvær skole arbetar med konstnärsgruppen Institutt for Farge. Gruppen består av Ingrid Lønningdal, Silje Hogstad och Steffen Håndlykken. De har utmärkt sig i Oslo med sina ämnesöverskridande projekt där kollektivet och den sociala sfären är utgångspunkter för det konstnärliga arbetet.
Aust- Lofoten VGS avdelning Kabelvåg samarbetar med Raketa, ett konstnärskollektiv som arbetar interdisciplinärt och gärna i kollaborativa former, med en experimentell hållning innanför konst, formgivning(design), arkitektur och digitala medier.
Projektet pågår i tidsrummet 11.02 fram till 09.05.08.

As part of Raketts presentation of the Curating Degree Zero Archive, Steffen will speak and cook delicious arròs negre. He has written a text for Rakett and CTR+Zs publication
on the archive, and uses the opportunity to talk about the institute
and Scramble For Survival.
The Institute for Colour buttons it up!
We've started to portray the
international art scene in the form of button badges. Hand drawn
portraits of figures from the art world; from the misanthropic
foundation course guest teacher to the subversive skateboard artist,
and from the bespectacled art history student to the aggressive
gallerist. The models are rather stereotypes than real persons, but
are frequently recognised by colleagues dropping by the buttons
workshop.
