Title: Art you can´t touch
N. Lundström presented the project "Luftschloß" (Castle in the Air), a collaborative art project with 6 norwegian and 6 german artists participating. This project was shown in Bergen/Norway during December and January 2005/2006. The project existed on several levels, as art in the gallery HKS, as art in public space around Bergen and as art in virtual space seen on a PDA when people moved around the city of Bergen. I will talk about the reception and production and process behind the project.

»Office Orange« creates the integration of the art into the everyday location of the working sphere. »Office Orange« offers an experimental field to the artist. The gallerist can conquer the third market for art here. The architect invites the artist to an dialogue on similar eye level. The owner opens free space in architecture to the young, contemporary art.

Lecture Title: Getting in the Game: American Politics and Public Art
Percent-for-art legislative roll-backs…. Ongoing media attacks on “controversial” public art…. Municipal and state culture budgets that grow or shrink with election cycles…. In the face of these challenges, how can public artists effectively garner sustained support for their projects? Highlighting several recent American projects, the lecture engages critical questions related to the political pitfalls and possibilities expressed in public art programs
