Public assignments / competitions

2011 “Sky Safari” was hand-picked by KORO’s art committee which consisted of Marianne Heier and Ole John Aandal to decorate the Civil Aviation Authority’s new signal building in Bodø. The work, which consists of a performance in the form of a poetic air show choreographed to the place-specific landscape and a commissioned work by the northern Norwegian musician Geir Jenssen (Biosphere), where photographs of the aircraft’s dance by Christina Leithe were to be traced to the performance, was finally stopped by Luftfartstilsynet because they were in a legal conflict in their relationship between responsibility and risk, which ironically was a theme in the work, the decoration was therefore not realized.

2005 Decoration of Åretta ungdomsskole, Lillehammer
