JENSEN & SKODVIN ARCHITECTURAL EXHIBITION

04/11/2009 // As a prelude to the Days of ORIS 2009, the Norwegian architectural exhibition "Processed Geometries" by Jensen & Skodvin was arranged in Zagreb 23-25 October 2009.

The exhibition was the result of a co-operation between the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Zagreb and ORIS Magazine for architecture and culture, at the venue was Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall in Zagreb. The exhibition was opened by speeches of the Norwegian Ambassador Terje Hauge, Chief editor of Oris, Andrija Rusan and architect Børre Skodvin. Among the prominent guests were State Secretary Zoran Šikić from the Croatian Ministry of Culture, Karin Šerman from the Faculty of Architecture and Vera Grimmer from Oris.

The Exhibition “Processed Geometries” documents Jensen & Skodvin’s wide range of work, with highlights like Mortensrud church and Tautra Mariakloster (convent). The exhibition consists of both pictures and drawings that show innovative art in harmony with Norwegian nature. Parts of the exhibition consist of a series of time laps movies of some selected projects. The projects shown in Zagreb were Mortensrud Church, The Tautra Convent, Gudbrandsjuvet Viewing platform, Videseter Railings, Storo Metrostation and The headquarters and exhibition space for Norwegian Design council (Norsk Form). These videos are sequences of still images captured through a certain amount of time. The change of light and weather, movement of nature, flow of people and the actual built structure itself in sum add up to be an “alive architectural photography”, showing not only the static image of a building or place, but giving also the element of time.
