Karolin Tampere and Åse Løvgren are the curators of the 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.
