Oslo Apiary is expanding into bird rearing, officially becoming Oslo Apiary & Aviary. Join our celebration Saturday May 21, at Losæter, a commons and a city development program in Sørenga, Oslo. Birds, bees and beer, will be served. A dovecote will be raised.

Oslo Aviary will be an art project along the same lines of Oslo Apiary, using the same techniques of ecoventions, non-representational performance, mixed authorships, corporate mimetism, functional and repurposed art, space- and site-specific installations and interventions in public and privatized city space. Or simpler put, placing creatures in the city and seeing what happens.

A consistent line running through our work is the questioning of the theoretical separation of “urbanity” and “nature”, how it is performed and dichotomized. We renegotiate space. By reintroducing plants and animals in the city, we ask questions about how city life can/can´t be redirected within and against current unfolding capitalist urbanization. Next up, Oslo Foxery maybe? Academic dissemination to follow.
