We are delighted to welcome Bianca Hisse and Christian Danielewitz

We are excited to welcome artists Bianca Hisse and Christian Danielewitz to Artica Svalbard for their residency in Longyearbyen, nominated by Office for Contemporary Art Norway.

Hisse, a Brazilian visual artist and choreographer based in Oslo, investigates how spaces are choreographed by economic and geopolitical forces, using movement and collective performance as acts of imagination and resistance. Danielewitz, a Danish visual artist, researcher, and writer, works across media to explore raw material extraction, digital materialities, and the uneven global distribution of toxic waste and pollution.

Together in Svalbard, they will examine the archipelago as a technologically wired yet contested space, researching grey-zone operations, those activities that fall between war and peace, such as sabotage of critical infrastructure and cyber-attacks. Through their collaboration, they aim to make these invisible battlefields visible, tangible, and open to renegotiation.

Welcome to Artica, Bianca and Christian!
