2013-14 Sustainability - What Do We Actually Mean? A longterm research project I initiated as part of my appointment as
Artistic Director of Konsthall C in Stockolm.
Multiple projects in the formate of screenings, talks, performances and exhibitions, all with an anchorpoint in the
longterm investigative exhibition project: Sustainability- What Do We Actually Mean? Example of projects, such as
DUBBELRADIO: a 24h radio project on two frequencies in Stockholm, Communities in Conversation, two conferences and
an exhibition as well as Reform - an artistic collaboration and publication comissioning new works with artists from the
Nordic region, initiated by publik from Denmark, Bergen Kunsthall and Konsthall C. Established the weekly 2 hr radio slot
Centrifug Radio Populär on 95,3MHz, the in-house research residency Centrifug Spinn and the interdiciplinary discursive
space The Central Kitchen as part of permanent formates for the investigation as part of Konsthall C. As an pragmatic
change in terms of institutional powerstructures, I invited the artistduo akcg and producer Anna Ahlstrand to, as a
collective of Konsthall C, form The Work Group, an non-hierarchical model of equally sharing working hours, salary and
responsibility, running the art institution as a collective, both practically, administrative and artistic. Please visit
www.konsthallc.se for full program.

RAKETT – is an ongoing collaboration formed as an investigative platform into artistic and curatorial
multivocal collaborative practice that was initiated in 2003 by Åse Løvgren and Karolin Tampere.
www.rakett.biz
RAKETT: Åse Løvgren and Karolin Tampere initiated the ongoing collaboration Rakett (2003 -) which is an ongoing mobile platform for
various activities, ranging from curatorial practice to collaborative artistic projects. The Rakett projects often function as lively, temporary
platforms for collaborative, often interdisciplinary, production; where the role of the initiator/curator is to not only to create a framework
and a stage but also to bring together different cultural agents, to create a moment of potentiality. Implicitly and explicitly, their work
touch on a range of questions around (co)authorship, (im)material production, the role of artist and curator, and the potential of mobile
and changeable platforms in the institutional infrastructure for art and the society at large.

MOTIVASJON – DEN NASJONALE JURY
Berlin 25.08.15
Min interesse for å påta meg vervet i Den Nasjonale Jury er fundert i min
interesse for billedkunst og et ønske om å gjøre en viktig jobb for å bidra til
den største scenen for samtidskunst i Norge. Jeg ser på vårt fagfelt som en
potent og mangefasettert aktiv agent i samfunnet, hvor Høstutstillingen har
potensiale å vise bredden av kunst i lys av tiden vi lever i.
Jeg har tidligere erfaring med å organisere og kuratere større utstillinger og
prosjekter slik som f.eks. Turku-biennalen og Vestlandsutstillingen samt ti år
med forskjellige prosjekter i inn og utland som Rakett (med Åse Løvgren) og
som freelance kurator. Jeg har jobbet med kunst og kunstnere fra forskjellige
faggrupper: lyd, performance, installasjon og video, samt prosjekter i ulike
offentlige rom. Mine erfaringer som jurymedlem har jeg blant annet fra
Vestlandsutstillingen, Sørlandsutstillingen, Tag Team Studio Open Call og
Unge Kunstneres Samfund (som styremedlem).
Jeg har takket ja til å bli nominert til Den Nasjonale Jury fordi jeg ser for meg
å få brukt min allsidige kompetanse som billedkunstner og kurator samtidig
som jeg får en unik mulighet til å lære kjenne enda flere kunstnerskap i Norge
idag. En spennende utfordring som jeg gjerne ser frem til!
Jeg vil gjerne være med og bidra til at Høstutstillingen i 2016 og 2017 blir like
enestående som den har vært siden 1882.
Med vennlig hilsen
Karolin Tampere
