Koffi & Højgaard

Welcome to a two-day seminar on working with temporary and relational art in public space, and its lasting impact, on 4-5 June 2026 at Tou Scene in Stavanger, Norway!

Organised by Koffi & Højgaard with Stavanger Kommune, the seminar explores how participatory, temporary and site-specific art projects can form new communities - and open up new ways of experiencing and inhabiting the city. What kinds of collaborations, artistic methods and working processes are needed to allow for experimentation and meaningful participation? And how can public administration and curatorial practice support projects that leave no permanent physical trace, yet still produce lasting experiences and impact?

The seminar will conclude with an Art Bar on Thursday, and we hope you’ll stay to join Kunstdøgnet (24 Hours of Art) on 6-7 June – 24 hours of performance and temporary art across Stavanger.

We’re excited to welcome contributors including KORO – Public Art Norway, Mathias Danbolt (Professor of Art History at the University of Copenhagen), and Sans façon (artist duo, CA/UK/FR), with more to be announced soon.
