FOLK-05
FOLK-05 is an art project arranged at Galleri Lista Fyr, Norway, in the summer of 2005. More than 20 artists from different countries gathered together for two weeks, to create an exciting exhibition in the area around the Gallery.
Under the motto “Folk-05 local-global invites to communication and understanding among people through visual art”, Folk-05 exhibited the works of over 20 artists from seven countries in the area around Lista Fyr. The idea was to show art were people are: in the landscape, the bus, the bus-stop, a church, a fortress, in a harbour, in a bunker. Performances were held at the opening and the closing days.
