The artists work in the K-LAB method; only natural materials found on site/ area are used. They will encounter very different natures that one of the groups is more familiar with than the other. Here, the artists will interact and help each other to find solutions. At Kjerringøy, classic Kjerringøy Land Art principles are used. The work is made with and from local, natural materials. We have various handheld, mechanical and battery-powered tools and some workshop machines. The artworks stays in the landscape. In Norway, at Kjerringøy One day-workshops are planned for schoolchildren in primary and secondary school, and public dissemination of artists in Bodø and/or Kjerringøy During the stay of 5 weeks, the artists will produce a work, individually or in collaboration, which will be publicly shown and presented.
