In connection with the Land Art project at Dikemark Kunstarena, Trafo Kunsthall and Den Kulturelle Skolesekken present a communication program created by visual artist Regine Stensæth Josefsen.

In the workshop at Dikemark, the students will collaborate on a huge loom that stretches along the walls of the gallery. What they weave with are plants and vegetation collected from the outdoor area. Josefsen has specially built the loom frames for the purpose. Along the way, the students will learn simple weaving techniques, but with plenty of room for experimentation. What is it like to weave with a long branch instead of yarn, and what opportunities and challenges can arise? Weaving only with organic material plays on the idea of ​​not leaving an imprint on nature, which is also what the Land Art exhibition is about. In addition, there is something different about working in a large format rather than a small one, and the students must therefore use the space and move around in their work on the composition. After the DKS period, the idea is to find a place outside in Dikemark's large outdoor area where the loom can slowly dry and weather.
​
Around 1,200 students from Asker School will visit during the duration of the project.
