Isabel Löfgren & Peter Lang – Experiencing Sites in Movement: Ö-A Möbius Trip and Stalker walks

Welcome to the presentation of  “Ö – A Möbius Trip,” 11am, November 12 . Isabel Löfgren (artist and researcher at KTH, Stockholm) in dialogue with Peter Lang (professor in Architectural Theory and History at the Royal Institute of Art and member of Stalker) will take the audience on a psychic exploration of  thinking related to the archipelago, Nordic mythology, nomadism and heterotopic locations.

The event takes its starting point in “Ö – A Möbius Trip,” a publication that documents a voyage with the goal of finding a mysterious island in the Stockholm archipelago. The investigation was undertaken by a group of international artists inspired by Homer’s Odyssey and was born from a series of research voyages and actions in and through the Stockholm archipelago.

The publication is co-edited by Isabel Löfgren and Per Hüttner. It is produced by Vision Forum and participating artists are: Cecilia Ahlqvist, Valerio del Baglivo, Andrea Hvistendahl, Marcia Moraes, Lillevan, Egill Saebjörnsson, Camila Sposati, Samon Takahashi and special appearances by Atle Baekken, Mats Hjelm, Jean-Louis Huhta and Emilia Rota.
