Book launch - NOUA, Bodø

NOUA & Out of the Metropolis are pleased to invite you to the Norwegian launch of the publication Curating & Repair at NOUA, Bodø, 28 April, 19.00

Curating & Repair is a publication exploring contemporary curatorial practices and exhibition-making as contexts for dialogue, exchange and the remaking of social and cultural relations through repair. It seeks actionable insights into how artistic work, its mediation and the institutions that support it might be mobilised toward more sustainable and interdependent worlds.

The publication is a result of a three-year, collaborative project, Out of the Metropolis – Art Exchange Across Borders. The project is initiated by NŌUA (Bodø, Norway), Double Dummy (Arles, France) and The Finnish Museum of Photography (Helsinki, Finland). The publication is supported by Creative Europe, Arts Council Norway and Fritt Ord.
