With the curatorial framework On the threshold of 1:1, this year's artistic directors for the biennale, Aude Christel Mgba and Bruno Alves de Almeida, want to approach contexts and processes in Norrbotten by emphasizing connections to other places and communities around the world that share similar conditions.
In architecture, the word "threshold" refers to a place of transition, a kind of mediation between two rooms. The expression "on the threshold of" refers to being close to new and important changes. The 1:1 scale is in itself a threshold between representation and reality, where both parts have the same dimension and allows the abstract to approach a real context.
