Are We Human

2021 · Galleri Format, Oslo · Nedre Håpet · curators: Ida Bringedal & Ida Olesdatter Barland

Contribution to Format’s thirtieth anniversary group exhibition (30 September to 31 October 2021). Grundvåg showed Nedre Håpet, an ongoing project in several media that works with soil from Nedre Håpet in Tromsø, a small plot that held temporary housing for people in need for about three decades before the land was sold.

The Format presentation includes 3D printed earth sculptures that host living vegetation, window and wall works, and material drawn from the same site as the 2020 outdoor edition later developed as Earthworks / Grunnarbeid.
