Leading up to the workshop on June 2, there will be two trial workshops on:

During their research residency at iii, Ase Brunborg Lie will hold three workshops on a boat following the canals. There, the participants will collectively do some listening exercises and investigate the water and site through instruments, scientific and other means.

The workshops are part of Lie’s extended research on waste webs (including e-waste), toxicology and water ecology.

The workshop lasts about two hours and is open to everyone. Unfortunately, the boats are not wheelchair accessible. No prior knowledge of playing instruments is required. We encourage people from all backgrounds to join. Please dress appropriately for the weather.

Schedule

Meet at the iii workspace 10 minutes before the start.
The boat leaves at the exact starting time. 

We will take a 1.5-hour boat ride through the city.
During the boat ride, we will do small experiments, including testing different qualities of the canal water and playing on/with instruments related to Lie’s research. 

Back on land, there is some time set aside for a short feedback and discussion session. 

A bit more about the work and the artist

Lie is currently researching global e-waste webs, which include toxicological connections through waterways, as well as bio-remediation tools for extracting toxins from contaminated waters. The project includes collaboration with a musician, a bioremediation researcher, an anthropologist researching e-waste webs, and crafters making art and household items from e-waste in Tanzania. A part of this extended research is creating instruments from waste to be implemented in an audience-participatory piece presented in 2025. 

Lie is also part of Mapping through Water, a collaborative project with artists Gülbeden Kulbay, Elin Stampe, Kibandu Pello-Esso and Jenna Jauhiainen. Through sculpture, text, listening walks and participatory performances on and around chosen rivers, they create platforms to discuss ownership of public space and our physical and emotional connections to the complex ecologies and waters it consists of.

Through their work, Ase Brunborg Lie explores how to live and create in our ongoing ecological crisis/era with its related philosophical and ethical questions and works for more equitable possible futures. They point out blind spots in social and built structures and propose alternatives to the human exceptional. Central to their practice are site-specificity and cross-pollination, inspired by queer-feminist, post-colonial, scientific, and fabulatory thinking and doing.
