First of all, I had never been so far north before. The fact that we made this visit in July meant that my colleagues and I got to experience the midnight sun, the natural phenomenon that occurs in summer in places south of the Antarctic Circle and north of the Arctic Circle &#8211; including northern Norway. The nature research walks were very important to understand a the context, the setting in which the locals live, to see the nature, the relief, the fjords and the extraordinary bays along the coast of Troms\u00f8. In addition to these research hikes, we visited some of the existing institutions in the city. On the one hand art institutions (art centre, art museum), but also institutions that could provide us the scientific support for the Blue Sun research project (scientific museums).<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#231f20&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;5px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;#0000ee&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>20 July<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just after my arrival on Troms\u00f8 Airport I was picked-up by the curator Anja L\u00fcckenkemper and artist colleague Larisa Crun\u021beanu and went on a trip by car, to explore the nature along the fjord. Thanks to <strong>Inga B\u00e5rdsen T\u00f8llefsen<\/strong>, research fellow at the Department of History and Religious Studies, UiT, The Arctic University of Norway, Troms\u00f8, who was so generous to give as a guided tour in the area, we had a fantastic research trip.<\/p>\n<p>The first stop was at <strong>Troms\u00f8 villmarkssenter<\/strong>, a shelter for Husky dogs. It is owened by one of the biggest adventure companies in Norway, located on Kval\u00f8ya (the whale island) 25 minutes from Troms\u00f8. They have aprox. 200 Alaskan huskies and offer dog sledding trips and northern lights tours in the winter and in the summer they focus on puppy training and husky hikes.<\/p>\n<p>The next stop was at <strong>Straumhella<\/strong>, about 30 km outside the centre of Troms\u00f8. There is a popular summer destination for locals and tourists. Hella resort is currently owned by Troms\u00f8 municipality. She told us the history of the place, as in the 1950s, Troms\u00f8 Labour Association bought up land at Straumhella, and later several buildings from &#8220;Old Troms\u00f8&#8221; that were threatened with demolition were moved to the site so that they could be preserved for future generations. The houses are located in a street called &#8220;<strong>Troms\u00f8gata<\/strong>&#8220;, which we visited in our way to the beautiful panorama from Straumhella. The last part of our trip was in <strong>Straumsbukta<\/strong>, where we did a long walk along the beach and visited some farms and meadows in the area, as our host was born and still has her family farming there. It was amazing and so energizing to discover these places!<\/p>\n<p>On our way back to Troms\u00f8 we stopped at a local grocery <strong>Eine Handel<\/strong> Norway, recommended by Inga as a local store which focus on local food and fresh ingredients.

I cannot forget the crossing on the very long <strong>Troms\u00f8 Bridge<\/strong> with a vibrating structure that we walked from one side of the city to the mountain we were going to explore and back. \u201cThe Sherpa steps\u201d are a very popular attraction for the local population. As I am not trained in hiking, I admit that it was a huge effort, especially the first half of the way. The Troms\u00f8 Sherpa Ladder follows the route of the Aksla Trail, which zigzags up the corner of the mountain where Tromsdalen meets Troms\u00f8ysundet. The ladder was built by Nepalese mountain road workers. In 2016, 315 steps were built, in 2017 607 steps were built. When completed in 2019, there were 1203 steps. The stone was brought from Skibotn and climbed by helicopter, but local limestone was also used. The purpose of building Sherpatrappa was to minimize erosion and wear of the path and to take better care of nature and vegetation.<\/p>\n<p>The physical challenge was rewarded on top by a wonderful panorama, and various local flora discoveries. I did several photographs and checked various plants for the project. On the way down, we stopped at the <strong>Arctic Cathedral<\/strong>. The church was designed by architect Jan Inge Hovig and is built mainly of concrete. The church is one of the most notable churches in Troms\u00f8 due to its design.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;2306,2308,2305,2309,2307&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#231f20&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;5px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;#0000ee&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><b>22 July<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Anja had the initiative to experiencing a <strong>sound walk along the coast<\/strong>. We started in the western part of the island, in the harbour area, but also crossing on various modern apartments districts built along the beach. The background noise was always mixed with the cries of the seagulls and of the waves, from time to time. The aspect that I really liked about Troms\u00f8 was how close it was to be in nature or enjoy different natural elements while being in the city at the same time. For example, along the sound tour, we explored the beach, seaweed and rocks of countless types, shells. Under the structure of one of the decks I discovered hundreds of starfish and sea urchins, truly impressive.<\/p>\n<p>I followed the site-specific plants, but also <strong>discovered adapted invasive plants such as the huge <em>giant hogweed <\/em><\/strong><em>(<\/em>Heracleum mantegazzianum). \u00a0I visited together with Anetta Mona Chissa the exhibition <strong><em>I &#8230;.

Troms\u00f8 Kunstforening is the oldest art institution in Northern Norway and is still a vital space for contemporary art in the region. The installation in front of the building was impressive, with a structure specifically designed by Lawrence Malstaf, AT Arkitektur \/ Kjeld Nash to be inhabited by kittiwakes.
