ABOUT LIAF 2015
Lofoten International Art Festival 2015 will run from 28 August until 27 September 2015. Titled 'Disappearing Acts', the festival will take its thematic basis on ideas of human agency disappearing through the processes of history, ecology, and technology. This approach is informed by the context of the Lofoten Islands in Norway, with its precarious economic-environmental dependency, its highly marketable 'screensaver' scenery, and its cultural legacy of self-sufficiency and retreat from the antagonism of the urbanised world. Organised as a large-scale group exhibition, 'Disappearing Acts' will feature 25 international artists, with many works commissioned especially for LIAF 2015. The exhibition will also be accompanied by a full public programme and publication. LIAF is organised by The North Norwegian Art Center.
