OCA Pop-up på Rogaland Kunstsenter

Office for Contemporary Art Norway skal øke og profesjonalisere norsk deltakelse i internasjonalt samarbeid på billedkunstområdet og kommer til Stavanger for å gjøre en pop-up for å bli bedre kjent med kunstmiljøet i regionen. 

OCA is happy to present the fifth edition in the OCA Pop-Up series, in collaboration with Rogaland Kunstsenter in Stavanger on Monday 4 April at 19:00. The presentations form part of OCA’s focus to reach out to art communities in cities outside the capital, such as Trondheim, Kirkenes, Tromsø, Bergen and Stavanger, in collaboration with local art institutions and guest artists.

The OCA Pop-Ups have been designed in order to connect with local art communities, present OCA’s activities, facilitate the use of OCA as a tool for art professionals in their internationalisation process, as well as further the transmission of information on the dynamics of the international art world. The aim of OCA Pop-Up is to strengthen the position of OCA as a discussion partner with art communities nationwide. The series was inaugurated in May 2014 at Trondheim Kunstmuseum. The second and third meetings were held in collaboration with Pikene på Broen in Kirkenes, and Northen Norway Art Museum in Tromsø, both in October 2014. The fourth meeting was held at Bergen Kunsthall in November 2014. Click here for more information.
