The idea of north

Item consists of a video recording of the "The Idea of the North" exhibition. The exhibition has been described as: "The Idea of North is a three-[art exhibition of contemporary art from Canada, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden that addresses the concept of the locality of sound. It is the result of a collaboration between curators in Canada (Rhonda Corvese), Iceland (Solveig Alda Halldorsdottir and Hekla Dogg Jonsdottir), and Norway (Yngvild Faeroy and Sossa Jorgensen). This collaborative curatorial process has brought together three diverse groups of artists in three distinct exhibitions in Norway, Iceland, and Canada, and each exhibition has included installations and sound art works from these countries in different configurations."

Blue hammer, door knocking, and I don’t even try

Item consists of a video recording entitled "Blue hammer, door knocking, and I don’t even try". This recording has been described as: "These projects centre around a form of transaction or exchange. In the performance piece Blue Hammer I have gone to a hardware store and created an “activated situation” by holding a promotional test. I have asked the customers to tell me which hammer they prefer and then they can take a free blue plaster hammer which I have made. As the piece continue the lines are blurred and there is confusion about which role each of us belongs to. On this occasion I am examining how our individual needs and freedoms are altered on a daily basis as we move between public and commercial spaces. (taken from liner notes)."
