This year’s theme “Oily Tales” is connected with the history of Steilene as from the 1880s till the 1960s the islands were a site for the kerosine, oil and petroleum industries. Now, only some traces of the former industries remain and the islands have become a popular getaway spot noted for their natural beauty and bird habitats. Steilene is undoubtedly an ideal context to feature performance art and land art works dealing with the centrality and criticality of oil not just to Norway, but also globally and ecologically. In addition, the current regeneration of Steilene could be linked to the recent changes in the oil industry and a transition towards non-oil dependent futures. As the participating artists are from such diverse backgrounds and have vastly different approaches to performance art, it will be fascinating to see how the landscape and history of Steilene will be interpreted and presented in relationship to the theme, “Oily Tales”….
PAO@Steilene is free! PAO will provide some snacks and bottled water, but the audience is also welcome to bring along a picnic and drinks.
