LIAF 2015
August 27 – 29, 2015
North of Norway Art Centre (Nordnorsk Kunstcenter), Svolvær, Norway
“The Festival that Didn’t Want to Sink” was the featured festival exhibition at LIAF (Lofoten International Art Festival) in 2015. Through this festival exhibition, LIAF looks back on its 25-year history, held between 1991 and 2013. A new publication tracing the shift from the ‘Regional Festival for Visual Arts and Crafts’ to the ‘Lofoten International Art Festival’ has been added.
The exhibition displays documentation and original works by Inghild Karlsen and other artists from the 13 art festivals. The selection reflects an eye for diversity and variation in materials, forms of expression, and media, serving as a tribute to the art festival’s early years, when words like range, span, and diversity were recurring themes in festival descriptions.
