Celebrating our 10th anniversary in 2023 and the opening of our new studio, we want to offer four residencies between October and December to different artists or artist groups. The residencies include one week, Monday to Friday from 12:00-17:00, of free workspace in PRAXIS Oslo’s 83 sqm studio space in Hausmania, ending with an open sharing on the last day.

Oliver Sale will share their artistic research with their project “A Psalm to Boyhood" in the format of work-in-progress showing and talk.

There is free access to the sharing, but registration is required.

At Hausmania,

Free entry, RSVP required.

Meeting 14:45 at Hausmania's back gates (behind Vega Scene).

DESCRIPTION

«A Psalm To Boyhood» is a new, in-progress production by dance artist Oliver Sale exploring gender dysphoria, trauma narratives and encountering the inner child. It is built out of their developing praxis «Objects of Activation» which uses reference objects as the site of performative activation. In this WIP sharing, the artist will present some of these objects, including material that arises from them, and begin a dialogue about the potential performative qualities of the future work.
