Verkstedbiblioteket at Guttormsgaards arkiv was one of five print collectives participating in this year’s edition of Trykk i Sanntid (Print in Real Time), under the theme KARBONPULS (Carbon Pulse). The event, which takes place on summer solstice, brings together a number of print studios along the coast of Norway to participate in the simultaneous act of printing, using a common theme and format as point of departure. The process is shared through social media (@trykk.i.sann-tid), and as the sun “turns”, we toast and celebrate together across the country. The project and concept was initiated by Rita Marhaug, Åse Anda and Kjellaug Hatlen Lunde. Thank you for including me, Erika Reed and Suzannah Rehell Øistad in the fifth and last installment of this wonderful event!
The format of this year was large scale maps, and we kept printing until well into the night on our small Krause stamping press!
The results will be showcased in a group exhibition at Galleri Nord-Norge in Harstad, opening on 29 August.
