Danmarksplass-Solheimsviken, Bergen
Curated by Tag Team Studio & Espen Johansen
Interventions in public space

This is a gift to a part of Bergen with a bad reputation. The area between Solheimsviken and Danmarksplass is a former shipyard area, now transformation area. The living conditions have been relatively bad, being on the shadow side of the mountain, with the moist, cold air from the fjord, and with the pollution from the industry and traffic. But at the same time very central, housing several creative environments, and now the scene of rapid development through quayside residential buildings. These works are placed in this environment, offering surprises, and giving a new way of experiencing the area.
