Caprice
2018
Performances, interventions and sound.
Bodø, Norway.
Varied materials.
In this interdisciplinary and site-specific project artist Aleksander
Johan Andreassen’s and choreographer Maria Landmark’s work is
informed by the recent years’ dramatic urban development of the
town of Bodø in Northern Norway. During a month long artistic
intervention in central Bodø, and by setting up a base in a vacant
shopping space, the artists maintained a direct dialogue with the
city and its inhabitants.
Collaborating with dancers Oda Bjørholm
and Alma Bø, as well as scenographer Mari Lotherington, the group
arranged conversations and interviews with the town’s inhabitants,
and also unannounced and announced performances in central spaces and
streets of Bodø. The work was commissioned by the interdisciplinary
art festival Bodø Biennale 2018. Headlined performances were
presented during the festival weekend in September 2018.
