«Thus, today’s gift is tomorrow’s commodity. Yesterday’s commodity is tomorrow’s found art object. Today’s art object is tomorrow’s junk. And yesterday’s junk is tomorrow’s heirloom.»

In face of a building industry which is increasingly occupied with reusing existing buildings and building components, this project aims to investigate practices of reframing monuments and objects already in circulation. 

With Byggesak 201912777 – Midlertidig oppbevaring av kunstverk – Fiskerne og Måken as a point of departure the project explores how values are attributed to architectural objects through relocation, reproduction and mediation. The research has resulted in a series of entangled investigations which collectively construct ‘The Picasso Boxes’ edifice.
