Starting in 2024 and continuing until 2031, KORO will implement a comprehensive art program at NTNU in Trondheim. With three art spaces on and near Gløshaugen, the art program will engage in dialogue with artists, students and academic communities.

The art program is inspired by the informal spaces that students and faculty create and define themselves, outside of and alongside an educational institution like NTNU. The program will examine how, through art, we can establish and preserve free spaces that promote shared investigation - what provides the conditions for freedom to think, voice and create in a collective space, and how can this be protected and strengthened?

Three permanent and temporary spaces for art at NTNU are organised by curators Marit K. Flåtter (Elgeseter), Thora Dolven Balke (Oasen) and Aleksander Eriksson Furunes (Skiboli), developed in collaboration with artists and architects. The curators were appointed by KORO.

Through dialogue with students, academic communities and others at and around Gløshaugen, the aim is to involve NTNU in an art program that is being continuously developed. During the program, the spaces can house artist residencies, exhibitions, collections, lectures and performances. These activities will lead to permanent artworks, archives and other imprints for the new buildings and outdoor areas on campus.

This website is continuously updated and presents what is happening throughout the art program. Under FAQ you can read more about KORO, the curators, organisation and financing, about NTNUs campus consolidation and Statsbygg.

The art programme is a part of the building project NTNU campus consolidation.
