In November 2024, Dag Erik Elgin will present an exhibition intervention at Kunstnernes Hus. BOMBA will engage the presence of Pablo Picasso's seminal Guernica at Kunstnernes Hus in 1938, just one year after the painting was completed. At the top center of Picasso's painting depicting the terror of the aerial bombing during the Spanish Civil War, a light bulb surrounded by a lampshade emits sharp, cone-shaped rays of light. In the painting, the lamp is surrounded by twisted bodies, and it ambiguously exists both as an ordinary electric light source and as a bomb at the moment it explodes. The Spanish word BOMBA refers to this ambiguity, referring both to the bomb and to the light bulb (in Spanish, bombilla eléctrica is a diminutive of bomba).
Taking as its point of departure this pivotal moment in the exhibition history of Kunstnernes Hus, Elgin's intervention will reflect on the complex legacy of modernity and modernism, the technological and artistic innovations of these eras, and the continuation of war into the present.

Mari Lending and Erik Langdalen are giving the double keynote lecture “Values: Architecture Past and Future in the Era of Circularity” at the three-days European Commission Visit in Oulu, Finland, part of the EU program Living Spaces – Cities and regions shaping the built environment for everyone, followed by the Aaltosiilo Festival 2024: “The Post-Industral Dance”, on Saturday September 15.
Center stage is the silo building designed by Alvar and Aino Aalto, and completed in 1931. In 2020, Factum Foundation for Digital Technology in Preservation bought the obsolete, iconic concrete wood chip silo. The AaltoSiilo is presently being restored and reinvented by Skene Catling de la Pena Studio for a post-industrial era, redefining materiality for the 21st century and the role of industrial heritage in memory, shaping place and cultural identity.

A Civic/Institutional Design Award of Excellence is given for the restoration and adaptive reuse of the former U.S. Embassy in Oslo, Norway. This 1959 chancery, designed by Eero Saarinen, is a significant example of postwar Modernist architecture, embodying American values during the Cold War. Saarinen's striking design, particularly the precast concrete facades, was a technological first for Norway. Over decades, the façades had faded and deteriorated. The preservation team treated damaged areas, and the entire surface was buffed by hand, restoring the original sheen. An underground extension and a discreet rooftop addition were added to meet current needs without altering the building’s external appearance. Landmarked interiors, including the atrium and ambassador's office, were restored with sustainable materials while retaining character defining features. The U.S. State Department has been decommissioning and selling off its Modernist embassies, and many are being demolished, gutted or altered beyond recognition. Docomomo US has long advocated for preservation of these buildings, many of which are highly significant. This project is a rare example of an entire embassy building being saved and carefully restored.

Read more about Future Anterior, Provenance, CFPFuture Anterior, Provenance, CFP
Buildings are unruly and ever-changing entities. They consist of materials with different life expectancies, their purpose might be outmoded, and they cannot (and should not) be protected to the same extent as artworks or ancient artefacts. This special issue of Future Anterior deals with buildings not as static objects with fixed boundaries, but as flexible, networked, and co-authored entities with rich social biographies and complex afterlives.
While provenance traditionally documents the chronological history of objects in circulation, we propose to transpose the eighteenth-century concept from discourses on art, archaeology, and ethnographica into architecture. Provenance typically implies that the integrity of an artefact relies on endurance, even permanence. But no object lasts forever. Buildings are a nexus of cultural, material, social, technical, geopolitical practices, and varied interests.
Buildings can be referenced, replicated, adapted, moved, destroyed, or fragmented; fragments might take on new lives as collected objects, (down-cycled) material, or (up-cycled) spolia.
This issue will theorize and demonstrate a new operative field that considers how architecture, fragments, and building materials are distributed, appropriated, altered, reinvented and evaluated according to various settings, ideals and ethics. We encourage the reconsideration of core cultural and aesthetic concepts such as: origins, authorship, ownership, legitimacy, copyright, authenticity, authentication, patina, collective memory, crises, uses, and abuses. We also aim to recharge the temporality of the concept: architectural provenance can be a dynamic phenomenon, a forward-bound, creative instrument for change, applicable to understanding lost, present, and future potentials of buildings. We invite contributions that consider architectural provenance within a circular economy and re-examine topics spanning from material procurement and real estate to historical reconceptualization and practical transformation work.
Topics to explore can include, but are not limited to historical or contemporary processes of construction or adaptation; the provenance of an idea or material; reflections on the aesthetic traditions of provenance in regard to architecture; monuments, landscapes, real estate, property; provenance as a tool in the validation of particular objects/histories and the rejection of others.

Toolkit for Today, CCA Montreal
Alena Beth Rieger was granted a residency at the Canadian Centre for Architecture during the summer of 2024. During the residency, she engaged with the CCA's archival collection and took part in the PhD seminar, “Toolkit for Today.” Her research looked at demolition across the archive, including in photographs, books, drawings, legal documents, correspondence, films, audio recordings, and newspapers. She worked with the unique situation of CCA—a non-national institution with extensive holdings and searchable archival metadata at the object level. Archival structures tend to favour depth over breadth just as they often reinforce the study of individual authors and singular objects. While the well-known fonds of Cedric Price (who often engaged demolition as part of the design process) and Gordon Matta-Clark (who worked with demolition as part of his artistic practice) are central to the CCA collection, Rieger’s research expanded beyond these two canonical authors. The caveat “(now demolished)” completes the titles of at least 151 objects in the collection. This information, likely added in the interest of clarity, now serves to connect dissonant objects through their common trait of disappearance.

On June 27th, a convening of experts on architectural fragments and materials collections was hosted by Jorge Otero-Pailos, Director and Professor of Historic Preservation at Columbia University. The aim of the event was to exchange knowledge and explore potential future collaborations on the role of architectural materials and fragments collections in the future of preservation pedagogy.
Alena Rieger and Simon Mitchell, PhD student and postdoc fellow in Provenance Projected, were invited to present their research and contribute to discussions aimed at shaping the future direction of Columbia’s preservation program, following the recent renovation of the Preservation Technology Lab and the launch of an open-access online catalogue of the Lab’s teaching collection. This initiative is part of a broader collaboration with Harvard and RISD.
Columbia's Historic Preservation program is in the process of aligning their collecting strategy with the experimental preservation ethos of their pedagogy. In this context, the convening was further held to discuss common goals and aspirations for the role of materials libraries and architectural fragments collections in the future of preservation pedagogy. It was also an opportunity for each speaker to understand their respective roles within the ecosystem of architectural fragment collections as they intersect with preservation education, imagine possible collaborations, and think creatively about the future.

Read more about Broadcasting NRKBroadcasting NRK
The Norwegian broadcasting building at Marienlyst in Oslo has arguably been an extremely important national monument for the past eight decades, yet most people know the building primarily from the sounds broadcast from within. The exhibition “Broadcasting NRK” aimed to shift focus towards the building itself, its architecture and infrastructure: how it came about, how it was detailed and constructed, and how it managed to fulfill its function succesfully for so many years. In addition to a series of models and historical reconstructions of the architect Nils Holter’s work, the exhibition included a series of original drawings of the broadcasting building by Holter (1899–1995), never before shown to the public. These extraordinary drawings reveal the intricate, technically advanced and often expressive architectural detailing of the broadcasting building, much of which was inspired by the new medium of radio, and by the visual representation of radio waves. The exhibition was designed and mounted by students and the teachers Jørgen Tandberg and Jonas Løland.It was first shown at the Norwegian Telegraph building downtown Oslo, a buildingdesigned by Holter, and then at the main entrance vestibule of the broadcasting building itself.

Geopolitics in Miniature, Venice
Mari Lending and Erik Langdalen organized the symposium The Nordic Pavilion: Geopolitics in MiniatureConference, Venice 29–30 September 2022. The conference was sponsored by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and took place at IUAV´s Palazzo Badoer.
The Nordic Pavilion turns 60 this year, and it is 70 years since the establishment of the Nordic Council. Sverre Fehn’s masterpiece in the Venetian Giardini was conceived and built in a cold war climate, against the backdrop of friendships and animosities, power play and diplomacy. The detours and disappointments, the successes and failures of the Venice affair make a prism in miniature to understand the mindset and conflicting ambitions of the Nordic countries in the 1950s and 1960s. Recent geopolitical developments and the Nordic NATO debates bring a renewed topicality to the Nordic postwar cooperation in Venice.
Based on AHO professors Mari Lending and Erik Langdalen’s book Sverre Fehn, Nordic Pavilion, Venice. Voices from the Archives (Pax/Lars Müller, 2021), and generously supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Oslo, the symposium The Nordic Pavilion: Geopolitics in Miniature opened with a reception in the pavilion with welcoming words by Martin Andestad from the Norwegian Embassy in Rome, Benno Albrecht, the dean of UIAV, Irene Lønne, the dean of AHO.
To contextualize their micro-historical account on the origins and making of the Nordic Pavilion, and the extensive cast involved in its making, Lending and Langdalen brought together colleagues from across the world to illuminate Nordic, postwar geopolitics with an eye to present political debates. In the wonderful Tafuri room in UIAV’s Palazzo Badoer, Mari Lending and Erik Langdalen (AHO), Iver Neumann (Fridtjof Nansens institutt, Oslo), Léa-Catherine Szacka (University of Manchester), Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen (Yale University), Helena Mattson (KTH, Stockholm), Markus Lähteenmäki (University of Helsinki), Tom Avermaete (ETH Zürich), Antonello Alici (Università Politecnica, Ancona), Adrian Forty (Bartlett, London), and Dag Erik Elgin (artist, Oslo), discussed topics spanning from The Nordic states between the US and the USSR, The Geopolitics of Nature and The Biennale and the Nation, to Soviet in Postwar Venice and Nordic Geopolitics beyond Europe, shedding new light on a familiar period in European architecture.
