This workshop was designed to give the participants a sense of ownership over the space within Kunsthall Stavanger and their own body. They were given the task to think about their body in the Kunsthall space, how they wanted to use it and when they want edto use it. Throughout the workshop they where shown various techniques of “body ownership”. The final stage of the workshop was a performative moment of site specific work. They arrived here through several tasks that were shown to them, including how to make material; how to edit quickly and confidently and how to respond to the space they were in.

The work responded to the exhibition HURTS WORST by Amanda Ross-Ho, which focused on a pain graph used at hospitals to help children express the level of pain they were in.
