3 Weeks to Go
In just under three weeks, @Kunstsilo's outer building will be transformed by @Lab212’s site-specific installation 'Growing'. The work will transform both the building’s facade and The Silo Hall into a responsive ecosystem - animated by live environmental data and the unruly behaviours of invasive species. A living meditation on expansion, imbalance, and adaptation in the Anthropocene.
Created by 2015 Lumen Prize Winners @Lab212, Growing blurs the boundary between organism and architecture, reminding us that growth always comes with consequence.
🗓️ Unveils Friday 7 November
On view 7 Nov 2025 – 15 Feb 2026
The unveiling marks the opening of The Lumen Prize Awards Weekend in Kristiansand, Norway - leading into Saturday’s Seminar Programme and culminating in the highly anticipated 2025 Awards Ceremony.
