It began as an intuition, a desire. Eva Rowson opened up the Landmark
program at Bergen Kunsthall with a stack of questions, from the title of
the programme that the activity was part of, “Who’s doing the washing up?”
to conundrums with few certainties and many potential answers, in a
speculative imagining and mapping of possible futures. In the midst of
these, a rather more specific question arose: what happens when you cross
two practices that draw on communication technology, artistic research,
radio, recording, archive, and processes? What happens if you cross Maia
Urstad (Bergen, Norway) with Anton Kats (Kherson, Ukraine)?

Our time machine allows us to answer until 2020 with MÆKUR, which is back
again with Eva Rowson after a first stint at Lighthouse (UK) in 2019, and
which openly incorporates it into the collaborative processes, because it
has always been there. With a methodology focusing on aesthetic experience
and the present moment, as well as hospitality and context, access and
agency, and stories shared and left untold.

MÆKUR create temporary radio labs and portable sound systems as a way to
open up communication technology and enhance its usefulness on a local
level. Their work involves sensory research on radio and listening, through
dialogue between the ongoing present and a constantly growing mutant
archive.

In these outtakes,

Kats talks about the transition from MAKU to MÆKUR, about slowing down and
opening up listening spaces, and about contextual and emotional
infrastructure in art practice.
