Firstly, I wish to express a special thankyou to the women who attended the labs before the summer. I thank you all for your trust and the valuable insights I have gained, which I now carry forward with me, and expressed in my art.

As a result of the overwhelming response to my previous labs, I have decided to keep them going. The dates this autumn are now set, and the studio has been booked.

Sunday 1st September, from 12 30 to 15 30

Sunday 20th October, from 10 30 to 13 30

Saturday 23rd November, from 12 30 to 15 30

I am therefore once again looking for women age 18+ in the Oslo area who would like to and are able to join any or all labs.

What others are saying about my labs:

“I really enjoyed taking part in this creative inquiry of yours. To participate in this art lab felt like a divine orchestration, as I pay attention to the dynamics between the masculine and the feminine within myself out of curiosity and with the intention of creating space for both and balancing them better.”  Quote/feedback from a particpant of ‘Art Research Lab for Women’, 12th Febuary 2024

The labs will take place at Kyrre Texnæs Studio, Vulkan 30, Oslo

Requirements:

Before signing up, I ask you to please make sure you are aware of and agree to the following:

1- These labs are women only spaces.

2 - Filming and or photographing is not permitted during my labs.

3 – As these labs form part of my own art practice and my current inquiry into feminine energy and the female psyche, they are not a workshop in the traditional sense. I am not facilitating space for others, I am not giving instruction, rather I am inviting you to join me in my space.

4 - No previous experience is required. All necessary materials will be provided.

5 – I ask everyone to arrive within the first 10 minutes of the labs started start time (which is the time I need to set up), after which the doors will close, and the lab will start. No admittance will be given once the lab has begun.

6 – As these labs are part of my own research / practice, and as I would like them to be accessible to all women, I will not be charging my usual fee.

7 – Sign up is mandatory – Please send your name and contact information to kat@kat-art.no if you wish to take part.
