Field notes
The project uses new moons for selection and full moons for presentation, giving participants a fixed two-week making window. Its schedule names Oslo and Bergen as alternating locations, but with no permanent address: the exact venue is withheld until shortly before each exhibition. The site also documents photo, video, and writing residencies, allowing contributors to choose their medium and decide whether to publish work on the gallery site or elsewhere.
