RESIDENCE-IN-NATURE, MAMMAS HUS IN LAINIO

What she Could – She did (1889)
It's never late to give up (year unknown)
A rock that you always spit on gets wet (year unknown)
Come and go, but do not settle (year unknown)

Starting in Lainio, a town in the Jukkasjärvi part of the municipality of Kiruna, Residence-in- Nature has arranged a cross-disciplinary artistic project that invites creators from different backgrounds to work with and in the space during a set period of time. Together, the group will examine questions related to the historical and contemporary significance of winter, darkness, ice and snow, farming traditions, geographical boundaries, and mechanisms of history-making. The project spans the duration of an entire year, interacting and integrating with the seasons and the different conditions they offer. The artistic works in 2018~2019 will be connected to existing formal and informal social structures in Lainio and its surroundings, among them Marttigården’s open-air museum where the town’s inhabitants gather around recurring activities such as making reindeer soup, art workshops, ice drilling competitions and traditional flour grinding. Norrbottens Museum is set in relation to the local context. It is an institution where objects and artefacts, voices and stories are preserved, mapped and represented, where cultural heritage is made accessible and history is written. What happens when activities in Lainio merge with those of the museum, or when artefacts from their collection are moved to Lainio? Following two research visits in June and August of 2018, the third work period of the group will commence during the Luleå Biennial, first opening at Marttigården in Lainio on 10 November, and thereafter on 17 November at Norrbottens Museum in Luleå.

Marcus Vallien, I came to a place at the end of a road, by a river that was neither the beginning nor the end. There I went from house to house, to ask for some potatoes. sometimes I got some, sometimes I got coffee, sometimes I had to leave, but in each house I got a story.of this I made a brew. an autonomous process enclosed in the container. for us to see. Of this I would like to make a kind of concentrate in a sealed bottle to place far out in the woods under a protection of concrete (2018)
