Public Art Norway invites artists to register their interest in creating a large-scale, prominent artwork to be located at Campus Ås, a major academic centre in Norway.

The art committee seeks an artist with an understanding of artworks in a busy outdoor space. All artists who apply may also be considered for other art projects at Campus Ås.


Approximately NOK 2.5 million (USD 312,000) is available to fund this artwork.


The artwork will be located at the centre of Clock Axis South (a new landscape feature in the campus). Artists should register their interest by submitting a document in the form specified below. The aim of the pre-qualification round is to shortlist three to five artists, who will then participate in a closed competition


For the pre-qualification round, the art committee wishes to consider reasoned expressions of interest in developing a concept for a large-scale, prominent outdoor artwork. Please do not submit specific proposals or sketches, as these are not wanted in this round.


Interested artists should send a single PDF file containing the following information:
- a brief statement explaining their interest in the project and their understanding of the commission;
- documentation of earlier works and relevant projects; and
- a CV, including contact details.


Deadline: 14 November 2016 - Artists of all nationalities may apply.
