Book Description
The book documents the history of the legendary Sámi artist collective Mázejoavku (1978-1983), and deals with the importance of the group historically and also in relation to other Sámi artists and Indigenous collectives and practitioners globally today. The Sámi Artist Group was the first generation of young Sámi artists to regain pride in their Sámi heritage, to express their Sáminess freely, and to reclaim a renewed space within Sápmi by advocating and negotiating Sámi thinking and being through the arts. The book is based on individual interviews and extensive research by author Susanne Hætta. In addition it includes a rich selection of archival photographic material, as well as texts by Yorta Yorta curator and writer Kimberley Moulton, Spanish/British art historian Katya García-Antón and Sámi scholar and duojár Liisa-Rávná Finbog. The publication is edited by Katya García-Antón, and is co-published by Office for Contemporary Art Norway (OCA) and the Sámi publishing house DAT. ___________________ Boken handler om det samiske kunstnerkollektivet Mázejoavku/Masigruppen (1978-1983) og deres betydning betydning historisk i relasjon til andre samiske kunstnere, samt urfolkskollektiver og utøvende kunstnere globalt.

Book Description
OCA commissioned the first English translation of Indigo, a poem written by artist Sidsel Paaske and published for the first time in 1979. Having used at this time the surface of the canvas as a limited space for expression, Paaske aimed to create another space that could generate phases and repetitions. As the artist states in a note to the poem from the same year, 'by the stamping-technique I achieve a repetition of the same element that points towards infinity (like snow-crystals, leaves, ants, reindeer, stars) and by printing in an increasing number from page to page I include the time aspect in a way that a painted picture would not be able to represent'.00Edited by OCA's Antonio Cataldo, the publication brings together the original manuscript correlated by notes and archival material. The book, part of the ongoing Office for Contemporary Art Norway?s Verksted series, is published on the occasion of the lecture series ?Fashion: the Fall of an Industry?, as held at the Office for Contemporary Art Norway from 17 October to 12 December 2013. Sidsel Paaske was one of several artists subject of the investigation within the lecture series.

Book Description
This book contributes to the international debate on Indigenous Peoples Law, containing both in-depth research of Scandinavian historical and legal contexts with respect to the Sami and demonstrating current stances in Sami Law research. In addition to chapters by well-known Scandinavian experts, the collection also comments on the legal situation in Norway, Sweden and Finland in relation to other jurisdictions and indigenous peoples, in particular with experiences and developments in Canada and New Zealand. The book displays the current research frontier among the Scandinavian countries, what the present-day issues are and how the nation states have responded so far to claims of Sami rights. The study sheds light on the contrasts between the three countries on the one hand, and between Scandinavia, Canada and New Zealand on the other, showing that although there are obvious differences, for instance related to colonisation and present legal solutions, there are also shared experiences among the indigenous peoples and the States. Filling a gap in an under-researched area of Sami rights, this book will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers and policy-makers with an interest in Indigenous Peoples Law and comparative research.

Book Description
Whatever Happened to Sex in Scandinavia? is a reader that brings together essays, artists' writings and works, and countercultural publications to examine the juncture of the political and the erotic during the 1960s and '70s.Adopting as its starting point the international perception of Scandinavia during these years as a utopian region of socialism and sexual freedom, it explores how artistic and cultural production of the time reflected an experimental impulse that closely engaged with movement towards sexual and political liberation.The book is the conclusion of a four-year research project that included an exhibition and a public programme. It includes many texts published in English here for the first time.

Book Description
Artists and cultural practitioners from Indigenous communities around the world are increasingly in the international spotlight. As museums and curators race to consider the planetary reach of their art collections and exhibitions, this publication draws upon the challenges faced today by cultural workers, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, to engage meaningfully and ethically with the histories, presents and futures of Indigenous cultural practices and world-views. Sixteen Indigenous voices convene to consider some of the most burning questions surrounding this field. How will novel methodologies of word/voice-crafting be constituted to empower the Indigenous discourses of the future? Is it sufficient to expand the Modernist art-historical canon through the politics of inclusion? Is this expansion a new form of colonisation, or does it foster the cosmopolitan thought that Indigenous communities have always inhabited? To whom does the much talked-of 'Indigenous Turn' belong? Does it represent a hegemonic project of introspection and revision in the face of today's ecocidal, genocidal and existential crises?

Book Description
Decentring the Avant-Garde presents a collection of articles dealing with the topography of the avant-garde. The focus is on different responses to avant-garde aesthetics in regions traditionally depicted as cultural, geographical and linguistic peripheries. Avant-garde activities in the periphery have to date mostly been described in terms of a passive reception of new artistic trends and currents originating in cultural centres such as Paris or Berlin. Contesting this traditional view, Decentring the Avant-Garde highlights the importance of analysing the avant-garde in the periphery in terms of an active appropriation of avant-garde aesthetics within different cultural, ideological and historical settings. A broad collection of case studies discusses the activities of movements and artists in various regions in Europe and beyond. The result is a new topographical model of the international avant-garde and its cultural practices.

Book Description
Around the planet, Indigenous people are using old and new technologies to amplify their voices and broadcast information to a global audience. This is the first portrait of a powerful international movement that looks both inward and outward, helping to preserve ancient languages and cultures while communicating across cultural, political, and geographical boundaries. Based on more than twenty years of research, observation, and work experience in Indigenous journalism, film, music, and visual art, this volume includes specialized studies of Inuit in the circumpolar north, and First Nations peoples in the Yukon and southern Canada and the United States.
