A full circle of cultural connectivity<\/h4>\r\n

With \u2018Il primo cerchio del paradiso\u2019, Hans-Petter Bj\u00f8rn\u00e5dal retraces the cultural connections between his native Norway and Venice dating back to 1432, when a North Sea storm altered the voyage of a Venetian merchant ship that had set sail for the Netherlands. After finding refuge on a small island off the Norwegian coast, the ship\u2019s captain indulged in the cultural and geographic wonder of a place he would characterize as \u201cParadise's first circle\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

As dried Norwegian cod found a receptive market in Venice, the fishing trade became a staple of cultural connectivity between the two countries. By exploring Norway\u2019s communication with the outside world, \u2018Il primo cerchio del paradiso\u2019 is Bj\u00f8rn\u00e5dal\u2019s interpretation of those connections, both past and present, with a strong emphasis on current issues such as climate change, environmental consciousness, and the merits of returning to a simpler way of life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The project is a Norwegian gesture of simple living, but also a reflection of our current need for a shift in direction and consciousness in order to address climate change. The essence of the message is that a simple life, in harmony with nature, is still a viable path to discovering paradise.<\/p>\r\n

The ties that bind<\/h4>\r\n

Within the broad context of the exhibition\u2019s \u201cTime Space Existence\u201d theme, Bj\u00f8rn\u00e5dal embarked on his interpretation of the natural simplicity of connections established long ago by the fish trade. His work is an artistic blend of two traditional methods employed for drying fish in Norway, as well as a tribute to the men who set sail between the two nations in the form of a wooden hull, reminiscent of early trade ships. Constructed of pine and steel wires, and measuring 5m high and 2.9m wide, the work incorporates the free hexagon geometry of Nordic building traditions in interpreting nearly 600 years of connectivity in a simplistic form.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The fishing trade has endured for centuries as a foundation of cultural connectivity between Norwegians and Venetians, and it is based on a very simple connection to our natural environment.<\/p>\r\n

A sustainable emphasis<\/h4>\r\n

To further emphasize Hans-Petter Bj\u00f8rn\u00e5dal\u2019s sentiments toward greater environmental awareness, he worked closely with a firm called Rebiennale to procure the necessary materials for building \u2018Il primo cerchio del paradiso\u2019. Rebiennale is a collaborative\u00a0project comprising a network of Venetian citizens, students, architects, artists, and political activists who exchange ideas, methods, and skills to build creative works using recycled materials derived from past iterations of the Venice Biennale Exhibition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
