The Oslo Architecture Triennale (OAT) seeks a Chief Curator, theme and concept for its seventh edition to be held in Oslo, Norway, in the autumn of 2019. Individuals or collectives of any nationality and country of residence are openly invited to send their proposal in English.
“For the 2019 edition, we aim to continue our search into the future. In a time where democracy and current systems of power are being challenged, and change is an increasingly present and accelerating force, OAT 2019 wishes to raise a discussion on the role and relevance of architecture in the future,” says Hanna Dencik Petersson, Director of the Oslo Architecture Triennale.
The Curator will have primary artistic and academic responsibility for the core programme of OAT 2019, including the development of its conceptual and thematic framework and research. The Curator will work in close collaboration with the member organizations and e-flux Architecture to develop and produce the different parts of the core programme of OAT 2019.

In 2016, the Oslo Architecture Triennale manifested its position as one of the world’s important arenas for dissemination and discussion of architectural and urban challenges. This is something the organization aims to maintain in 2019.
As a triennial event, OAT strives to develop a content of high quality over a course of three years. OAT therefore aims to not only display, but also explore and investigate issues of architecture and urban development through alternative and interdisciplinary projects and practices.
“The Triennale is an opportunity and space to rehearse research strategies and test working protocols which offer new forms of engagement for architects. We considered After Belonging and the Oslo Architecture Triennale not only as a 10-week event, but rather as a long-term collective research project that resulted in new forms of thought and action,” says the After Belonging Agency, Chief Curators of OAT 2016.
