In Forest Intervals / Responding to the Forest’s Call

Forest Calling – A Never-ending Contaminated Collaboration or Dancing is a Form of Forest Knowledge. Extension #2


Forest Intervals / Responding to the Forest’s Call is a full-day public program with Forest Calling, in collaboration with Malin Arnell, 2020


Can you sense the Forest Calling? Let this program take you through overlapping intervals of past and present futures, as a chronicle of travel between a capital city, an exhibition, and a specific piece of forest – a public artwork. Through an assemblage of movements, soundtracks, histories, temporalities and relationships with other life forms, we emerge as participants and collaborators.


Join us on a bus ride from Stockholm to a specific piece of forest – a public artwork. Along the way, we make a visit to Notes on a Fallow – The Fogelstad group and earth at Sörmlands museum.
