Skaus is an art project founded in Stavanger in 2019 by artists Håvard Sagen, Markus Bråten and Mari Kolbeinson. It functions as a support structure, creating meeting points between places, artists, institutions, social infrastructures, and audiences. The project focuses on developing new forms of collaboration and methods related to origin, authorship, and reproducibility.
Since a year-long artist residency at International Studio & Curatorial Program in New York in 2021–22, Skaus has been engaged in the idea of home and belonging. In connection with Stavanger Municipality’s 2025 Emigration Commemoration, they have constructed a timber frame structure on Jorenholmen in Stavanger. The form of the structure is based on their idea of a standard house.
As in previous projects by Skaus, the structure will host a series of artistic interventions. For this iteration Skaus has invited previous contributors to pass the torch by nominating a practitioner they would like to see take part in Skaus: Hjem. The selected artists will then, in sequence, inhabit and respond to the structure.
The nominated contributors are Ioana Ispas, antipodes café, Ellen Sofie Griegel, Felix Shumba, Anders Hergum, and Stavanger Art School's new students, who will hold the ‘sculpture in space’ project period in Skaus: Hjem, with Goro Tronsmo as their mentor.
