3,14 LIVE disrupts passive viewership. Since 2016, debate editor Gitte Sætre has expanded our exhibitions into a platform for live discourse, generating urgent conversations through radical formats. In 2023, we launched Dare to Hear (Spotify)—a podcast that hijacks the airwaves to extend these collisions of art and thought, one unfiltered guest at a time.
Art, Time, and the Politics of Degrowth.
a Conversation with the artists Fanja Bouts and Jannicke Heien Knudsen
What happens when art confronts the ecological paradoxes of our time? In this episode, we explore the intersections of decoupling, which refers to an economy able to grow without a corresponding increase in environmental pressures. We talked about speculative futures and material storytelling, inspired by Fanja Bouts' exhibition at Kunsthall 3,14 (on view until August 10, 2025).
Joining the conversation is Jannicke Heien Knudsen, an alumna of our institution whose work has graced these walls before (2016, 2020). Together, we talk about how art operates as both critique and proposition, challenging unsustainable systems while seeding alternatives.
Both artists share a fascination with temporal imagination: How do we think in deep time? How can materials hold memory and futures? From archival gestures to collaborative world-building, their practices ask: What grows when growth stops being the goal?
