Open call 2017 - info

16/5/2017

For the Open Call to the PAO Festival 2017 we received 168 proposals from artists far and near. The process of choosing the 12 performances for the festival was difficult, but it was also inspiring to see so many amazing artists.
All selected artists will be notified this week, and the final line up published by the end of the month.
We will keep all the proposals in our archives to be reconsidered for future PAO Festivals.
To all the artists: thank you for your interest in PAO Festival and for taking time to send in your proposal.

PAO presents a showcase of performances in downtown Oslo for Kulturnatt (Culture Night) on Friday September 16th from 18:00 - ca. 22:00. Featuring a diverse collection of Oslo based artists, the performances are site specific works in the public space. By positioning the performances outside the usual white cube gallery format, the performances will reach a wider audience. In addition, all of the works will be uniquely shaped and influenced by the culture, identity and cityscape of Oslo as the meaning of performance art is highly responsive to space, context and audience.
The works will form a route through the public space and culminate in a performance at the Nobel Peace Centre.

Updates on locations and times coming soon!

Artists:
Fernanda Branco
Janne Jong
Joana Gelazyte
Katarina Skår Henriksen and Kyuja Bae
Kathleen Mcdowall
Kirsti Willemse

Lykourgos Porfyris
