This year’s festival<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

This year’s festival, which is the 18th edition, is curated by Kjersti Solbakken (b. 1984). LIAF\u202fseeks to be an open, experimental and accessible meeting place for artists, contributors, collaborators and\u202faudiences. LIAF does not have a set venue but takes place at different locations in Lofoten each time it is held.<\/p>\n\n\n

Kjersti Solbakken says the following about LIAF 2024:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“LIAFs experimental and inclusive approach to communicating art is rare, and it is a huge dream come true to be able to work with the collective meeting place that LIAF constitutes. I want to use LIAF as a platform to take a closer look at local stories, archives, collections, and conditions that can help uncover our recent history. I look forward to further getting to know artists, curators, writers, arts and cultural institutions, LIAF\u2019s fantastic staff, artistic council and all existing and future partners.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

a history dating back to 1991<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Lofoten International Art Festival has a history dating back to 1991. LIAF began as a festival with a regional and national focus, and gradually developed into the international biennial it is today. Since 2009, LIAF has been under the auspices of North Norwegian Art Centre. It has an artistic council with six members.<\/p>\n\n\n

The festival has no fixed venue, but is created anew each time by infiltrating and exploring Lofoten\u2019s local surroundings. LIAF has exhibited art in a park, a garage, a library, a shed, a bunker, a fishing hut, a private house, a shop, an old warehouse, etc. Developing and discovering new understandings and knowledge through art lie at the core of the festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each festival is designed by curators with different backgrounds, ideas and practices, bringing together the known and the unknown in different ways. By insisting on an open and experimental approach, LIAF can on many levels be a place for exchange and engagement, revealing new things about our world and ourselves over and over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lofoten International Art Festival has been curated by Tor Inge Kveum, Per Gunnar Tverbakk, Vibeke Sj\u00f8voll, Gry Ulrichsen, G\u00f6ran Christenson, Maaretta Jaukkuri, Taru Elfving, Richard Borgstr\u00f6m, Helga-Marie Nordby, Thora Dolven Balke, Linn Pedersen, Anne Szefer Karlsen, Bassam El Baroni, Eva Gonz\u00e1lez-Sancho, Matt Packer, Arne Skaug Olsen, Heidi Ballet, Milena H\u00f8gsberg, Neal Cahoon, Hilde Methi, Torill \u00d8stby Haaland and Karolin Tampere, as well as Francesco Urbano Ragazzi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
