As part of the international EU-funded project IRON NOTES - At the Borders of Iron, this three-day event brings together artists, students, alumni, and guests to examine the evolving language of contemporary blacksmithing, object-making, jewellery, korpus, and medium-scale sculpture in Scandinavia. Through a varied programme, the event opens a living dialogue between material knowledge and conceptual inquiry.
IRON NOTES - At the Borders of Iron (2025–2027) is a €1 million project co-funded by the EU’s Creative Europe Programme (Culture strand) and coordinated by LAB University of Applied Sciences. With partners from Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Norway, and Italy, the project explores the intersection of traditional blacksmithing, contemporary art, and societal memory. The event in Oslo is curated by Jorge Manilla within the Metal and Art Jewellery Subject Area.
