Following the tragic events of July 22 2011, the Norwegian Ministry of Culture initiated a process that culminated in the Government’s decision that two memorial sites should be established after the bombing in Oslo, which killed 8 people, and the massacre at Utøya, which killed 69 people. All together 158 people were wounded in these terrorist attacks. The Art Selection Committee hereby issues an open call to a pre-qualification stage, which will lead to a closed competition between up to eight artists, arts and crafts practitioners, architects, landscape architects or collectives. The plan is that the participants for the closed competition will be announced on 20 September 2013, with the winner being announced on 15 February 2014. All candidates must have a formal artistic or architectural competency in the form of education or relevant practical experience. All candidates must state the reason for their interest in the commissions, which shows that they have a relevant understanding of what the commission entails. Submissions to the pre-qualification stage will be made electronically. The submission consists of a brief account of the applicant’s interest in the project, documentation of previous relevant work, and a CV. For this stage the Art Selection Committee is not seeking concrete ideas or sketches for the memorial sites. The deadline for submissions is 1 September 2013.
