Rakett consists of Karolin Tampere and Åse Løvgren and is a collaboration that started in 2003. Rakett is a platform for various activities ranging from curatorial practise to initiating projects. We work as artists in an expanded notion of the artist role, in that we feel free to juggle between acting as curators, object-producing-artists, project-initiators, etc. Rakett is a mobile project in that we mostly work site-specific in spaces that we find suitable. The focus for our work is to create a meeting place and common grounds for communication where emphazise is put on collaborations and openness in regards to the final work. Our curated shows are often open during a short period of time and presents work that is not commercially oriented in that it is time-based or non-permanent work.
We see ourselves as part of the independent and non-commercial international art-scene and our aim is that our activities shall be spontaneous and mobile, always retaining the freshness and energy, enhancing co-operations and introducing people that we find interesting.
