NEW PLATFORM
CONNECTS NC6263
The new art arena LAT.63 in Frösön

center for North Cultitude. The concept
of the arena is to create a non-urban art

concept of a culture geography on 62 and
63 parallel. Not to exclude but to invite
artists and cultureworkers to come to this
latitude and work. The arena aim to show

The arena opened October 3rd with an
inspiring exhibition by Heri Dono;
ANIMACHINES. Heri Dono is from
Jakarta and represented Indonesia at the
Venice Biennale 2015.
“An Indonesian Storyteller Ahead of His Time.
If any curator wants to do a serious exhibition
of Indonesian contemporary art, he is one of
the first names — if not the first — that they
put down,” said Mr. Rossi, whose gallery will
also exhibit at Art Basel Hong Kong.

WHY
North Cultitude 6263
Panter Tanter Production, charged by Berit
Rusten, is working on an art event on the
train trip from Trondheim to Östersund
May 26-29th 2016. The artistic ambition
and focus is based on what happened
along this railway line during 2nd World
War when resisting groups worked against
the nazi occupation. The work has been
underminded and nearly forgotten.
The work of Panter Tanters has reinforced
the recognition of their effort and sacrifice.
There will be different stops and stagings
on the railway stations during the journey.
The public wil be invited as participants
and audience.
CONTACT
This project aim to create new opportunities and projects for arts and
cultural workers, and reach out to a broad public in general.
The network will hopefully be created throughout activities, sessions,
meetings and internet.
The long term goal is to showcase the arts/cultural activities at latitudes
and create biennials, festivals and international activities. This work is
currently enhanced by anchoring and active proliferation.
The project has a 10 year perspective.
