Transforming Reduction into Multi-Block Relief Printing: Integrating ‘found’ knowledge of living archives into the pedagogic delivery at Kunsthøgskolen i Oslo, Norway

Abstract

‘Living archives are practices and environments that connect the organisation, curation, and transmission of memory with present-bound creative, performative, and participatory processes. Recent trends in the democratisation of arts and cultural heritage, and the advent of digital media, have provided living archives with renewed interest’ (Sabiescu 2020). As a process of re-evaluation, these potent material-based collections can transmit the past through contemporary art production to future audiences.
