"The new station contains three artworks by British artist Darren Almond: ‘Horizon Line’, ‘Shadow Line’ and ‘Time Line’. The artworks resemble the embossed metal nameplates that were affixed to early British locomotives and were made by the same heritage sign company that made many of the boilerplates for locomotives of the past. ‘Horizon Line’ consists of 144 individual hand-polished tiles echoing paths of travellers as they descend underground whilst ‘Shadow Line’ and ‘Time Line’ are train boiler plates bearing poetic phrases ‘REFLECT FROM YOUR SHADOW’ and ‘FROM UNDER THE GLACIER’ respectively. The three abstract artworks will be found on the ceiling and around the western ticket hall of the Elizabeth line station".

Silje Linge Haaland deltar i den første utgaven av Munch Triennale, Maskinen er oss, med en lyd- og videoinstallasjon, i tillegg til to skulpturer. 

"Haaland sine tre verk inngår i et felles univers der bilder vandrer sømløst gjennom ulike medier, fra video til  skulptur. I Det er så vidt dette er en morgen har kunstneren innfelt brukte SIM-kort i en avkappet trestamme, noe som kobler SIM-kortenes minne sammen med trærnes årringer og spor av tid. I lyd- og videoinstallasjonen Den løse delen av verden setter Haaland sammen biter fra et enormt arkiv av egne opptak og funnet materiale inn i nye sammenhenger. Sammen danner lyd og videobildene en komposisjon, som kan oppleves som et «stammende øye» som famler etter felleskap og forståelse i en fragmentert virkelighet. Glasskulpturen Hadde vi bare kunnet lene oss tilbake mot noe ennå ikke her speiler elementer fra videoen, som fremstår som om de er frosset i tid."

"BEND IT is a celebration of queer art in the form of exhibition and concerts that encompass visual art, performance and music. By queer art we mean art that challenges norms related to gender, sexuality and identity. Often this art can include perspectives that have been overlooked and marginalized.

By contrasting recent queer art with queer art from the past, BEND IT shows how artists of different backgrounds have contributed towards placing diversity and representation on the current agenda. Queer art and culture is a global phenomenon, and BEND IT includes contributions from artists from Norway and Europe as well as artists with connections to the global south. National and international perspectives collide in a dialogue that emphasises spontaneity, contradiction and coincidence. BEND IT is both a pop-up exhibition and a celebration, focused on openness, diversity and elastic expressions of gender and humor.

BEND IT is produced by Atelier Nord in collaboration with Grünerløkka Lufthavn / MIR and is curated by artist Kjetil Berge and Atelier Nord’s director Ida Lykken Ghosh.

The exhibition is part of Queer Culture Year and is supported by Fritt Ord and the Municipality of Oslo. Queer Culture Year commemorates the 50th anniversary of the decriminalization of homosexuality in Norway."
