Lokalisert/Localised

Winter 2008 Ctrl+Z Publishing was approached by the Bergen Kunsthall with a request to edit a publication on the occasion of the Bergen Biennial Conference in September 2009 which would in some way mirror the local art scene’s response to the City of Bergen’s proposal to create a Bergen biennial. The anthology Localised is rooted in, but edited independently from, this conference.
