I want to be rock and mineral, time and space
Full text linkENG:
In this thesis I am exploring the concept of stone as time, with knitting as measurement. I am using knitting as practice and aesthetics, combining knitting with stone, metal and the concept of time. As starting point I had a desire to become something else, and an idea that this something else could be a stone. A stone, as in different from me, maybe better. The stone is slow, heavy and dense, three things that I as a human am not. Through knitting stones in yarn, copper wire, and casting knitted stones into aluminium, I am examining the differences between us, me and the stone and I am asking if I can be like the stone. I use casting as translation between matters and knitting to transform myself into the stone. By using materials from my life, leftover yarn and thread from my family, used pillows and parts from my own car, I try to knit myself as the stone, or knit the stone like me

Active Forms: The Artwork and its Infrastructures
Full text linkThe city today is a complex landscape of commercial and governmental interests that traverse both the physical and the digital. This is powered by an underlying network of infrastructure. While giving form to the surfaces we experience on a local level, the underbelly of our cities entangles us in a web of resources, energy, power structures and impact far beyond our sight and reach. This is a reality starkly illustrated by the climate catastrophe.
Active Forms – The Artwork and its Infrastructures is a research project investigating the relationship between the artwork and this unstable context. The question I ask myself is as simple as it is fundamental: How to continue making art within this condition?
Based in the understanding that the infrastructural is a shared space between artwork and its context, it investigates the position of art within this condition as both hazard and opportunity. In order to make an artwork which stands apart from society’s power structures, the way this space is utilised or navigated must differ. Making art at the time of climate catastrophe creates restrictions and responsibilities. However, by recognising that the process itself has potential for meaning, the consequences of decisions and strategies – the ethics - become an inherent part of the work.
The city and the artwork are also examined as interconnected entities through a wide understanding of form which encompasses both the composition of sculptures and structures that organise society. Based on the idea of affordances, form is a malleable quality which can be activated by those seeing, directing or imposing it. Active forms are, according to Keller Easterling, the bits of code in the operating system - or the infrastructure - of the city.
Through the mediums of sculpture, video, lecture performance and text I search for ways the artwork can engage its context through production, exhibition and continued afterlife. And with Marina Vishmidt’s idea of critique as a temporality, the artwork can be a vehicle, or in itself an infrastructure. Working with the specificity of each situation I enter into, I arrive at multiple and flexible strategies including an expanded understanding of the sculptural object, sharing activist tools and navigating through the bureacracy of a city council. All these are ways the artwork can get to know its own deeper inherent form and harness its infratructural powers
Tilpasset opplæring
Full text linkNO:
I denne eksamensoppgaven har forfatteren valgt å fordype seg i tilpasset opplæring, inspirert av egne erfaringer fra en praksisperiode i videregående skole. I samarbeid med to medstudenter underviste de i en dramaklasse som jobbet med et musikalprosjekt. Erfaringen tydeliggjorde hvor krevende lærerrollen kan være alene. Forfatteren trekker frem konkrete utfordringer med elever som har svært ulike behov og forutsetninger, og hvordan dette reiser spørsmål om hvordan en pedagog kan sikre at alle elever blir sett og får tilpasset opplæring.
ENG:
In this exam paper, the author has chosen to delve into the topic of adapted education, inspired by personal experiences from a teaching placement in upper secondary school. In collaboration with two fellow student teachers, they taught a drama class working on a musical project. The experience highlighted how demanding the teaching role can be when working alone. The author points out specific challenges related to students with very different needs and abilities, and how this raises questions about how a teacher can ensure that all students are seen and receive adapted education
Dobbelhetens uutholdelige letthet
Full text linkENG:
"The Unbearable Lightness of Duality" explores how community, neighborhood activism, and urban development can be strengthened through local volunteer efforts and collective action. The project also examines how external actors, such as real estate developers, try to exploit this commitment under the guise of sustainability and gentrification. A central idea is to promote DIY approaches and peaceful civil disobedience as tools to strengthen local identity, oppose commercialization, and take control of one's own spaces and histories. Materials such as inherited textiles and used bed linen symbolize community, heritage and belonging, and through quilted projects, a three-dimensional expression is created that opposes capital's destruction of local values. The works serve as both documentation and invitation to dialogue, and emphasize the importance of respect for local voices in urban development. At the same time, the project challenges traditional power structures by using art and collective activism to strengthen community resilience. This approach sheds light on how art can visualize complex social and economic dynamics, and encourages active participation in societal development. In a city like Oslo, characterized by continuous change and social challenges, the project shows how individuals and communities can use DIY methods and peaceful civil disobedience to shape the urban environments of the future. It invites us to reflect on our own role in preserving and creating change, and shows that true urban development must be based on respect for local culture and collective action.

"Dobbelthetens uutholdelige letthet" utforsker hvordan fellesskap, nabolagsaktivisme og byutvikling kan styrkes gjennom lokal dugnadsinnsats og kollektiv handling. Prosjektet undersøker også hvordan eksterne aktører, som eiendomsutviklere, prøver å utnytte dette engasjementet under dekke av bærekraft og gentrifisering. En sentral idé er å fremme DIY-tilnærminger og fredelig sivil ulydighet som verktøy for å styrke lokal identitet, motsette seg kommersialisering og ta kontroll over egne rom og historier. Materialer som arvede tekstiler og brukt sengetøy symboliserer fellesskap, arv og tilhørighet, og gjennom quiltede prosjekter skapes et tredimensjonalt uttrykk som motsetter seg kapitalens rasering av lokale verdier. Arbeidene fungerer som både dokumentasjon og invitasjon til dialog, og understreker viktigheten av respekt for lokale stemmer i byutviklingen. Samtidig utfordrer prosjektet tradisjonelle maktstrukturer ved å bruke kunst og kollektiv aktivisme for å styrke fellesskapets motstandskraft. Denne tilnærmingen belyser hvordan kunst kan visualisere komplekse sosiale og økonomiske dynamikker, og oppfordrer til aktiv deltakelse i samfunnsutviklingen. I en by som Oslo, preget av kontinuerlig endring og sosiale utfordringer, viser prosjektet hvordan enkeltindivider og fellesskap kan bruke DIY-metoder og fredelig sivil ulydighet for å forme fremtidens bymiljøer. Det inviterer oss til å reflektere over vår egen rolle i å bevare og skape endring, og viser at ekte byutvikling må baseres på respekt for lokal kultur og kollektiv handling
Crocodile, I Like The Way My Nails Look At Me
Full text linkThis MA Dance thesis untangles questions that guided the creative process, dwells on recurring speculations, and reflects on the performative material of "Crocodile, I Like The Way My Nails Look At Me". It traces the different writing practices encountered and experimented with throughout studying at KHiO. Then exhausting reflections on practice, movement, and non-flow will lead to writing about choreographic notes. Towards the end, the reflection will pass by the asscrack and crocodile. Along the way, it will situate and contextualise central themes/concepts as well as draw perspectives from other dance artists and dance performances relevant to the master's project

The Anteroom
Full text linkENG:
The Anteroom is a project resulting in a commercial fashion collection that explores motifs of waiting, staleness and liminal spaces. Drawing from 1980s office interiors and influenced by Kafka, Tunbjörk, and Andersson, it seeks to translate themes of alienation, identity, and standing time into garments. Exploring fashion as an image-making tool, its aim is to sculpt atmosphere through the media of clothing as well as find its place in the landscape of fashion industry. The Anteroom is a study in stillness, a place for the viewer to pause and reflect on the mundane life, its beauty and absurdity.
NO:
Forrommet er et prosjekt som resulterer i en kommersiell motekolleksjon som utforsker motiver som venting, stillhet og grenseområder. Med utgangspunkt i kontorinteriør fra 1980-tallet og inspirert av Kafka, Tunbjörk og Andersson, søker det å oversette temaer som fremmedgjøring, identitet og ståtid til plagg. Mote utforskes som et verktøy for å skape bilder, og målet er å skape atmosfære gjennom klesmediet, samt finne sin plass i moteindustriens landskap. Forrommet er en studie i stillhet, et sted hvor betrakteren kan stoppe opp og reflektere over det hverdagslige livet, dets skjønnhet og absurditet
How to get to know a city: a user's manual; a test kit.
Full text linkIn an attempt to re-aquaint myself with the city of Oslo, I started performing tests on it. By walking through snow and picking up bits of buildings, I stitch together my own way of dealing with a city in relation to figures like Sophie Calle and George Perec. Through the thesis themes of the everyday, collecting, and text become central ways of approaching and relating to the city as a site of discovery
