"Being directed to the surface is intellectually nearly taboo" writes Sybille Krämer in her essay for Metode. Tim Ingold writes in his Metode essay that the surface is perhaps the very place where meaning is generated.
Throughout the autumn of 2022, 13 Norwegian and international researchers, curators, artists and architects have met at ROM for kunst og arkitkektur and online to explore the status of the surface in our time. Metode vol. 1 'Deep Surface' consists of fourteen experimental essays written by Andreas Ervik, Beatrice Zaidenberg, Neda Genova, Marius Moldvær, Severino Alfonso, Loukia Tsafoulia, Jenny Perlin, Adam Hudec, Julie Barfod, Jakob Oredsson, Nick Walkley, and Benjamin Blackwell. Together with Tim Ingold, Sybille Krämer, and Metode's editorial board, the participants have developed the essays through open peer-review feedback, co-writing, critical readings, and the exchange of ideas and experiences.
Read about the workshops and the contributors at Metode. The essays will be published just before the event. We mark the launch with a conversation event at ROM for kunst og arkitektur and online Thursday 26 January from 19:00 – 21:00 CET.
