A large drum is perched on the surface of the Løren train station wall like a stealth keeper of time. The object is iconic, recalling both the rhythmic notion of a drum and the typical station clock, with a robotic bodily movement frozen in anticipation.

As an object with a strong singular presence, it readily evokes curiosity while suggesting recognizable references. It is an object that attracts attention and seeks to offer the station a unique iconic identity that deconstructs the area’s historic military site – and the relation to children’s drum corps, the current local industrial presence, and the synchronous activities associated train stations, with a playful reference to the time and space between actions, sounds, and recurring events.

Commissioned in Spring 2014 by the city of Oslo, Rhythm Wars – Interval was installed on the newly completed train station in the Spring of 2016.

    Løren, a newly developing location in Oslo, was once a military compound.  In silence, Interval evokes the distant sound of the drum.  Is it fading into history or gaining new amplitude; a dispersed syncopated rhythm in keeping with the growing threats of terrorism, economic, and political struggles that ensnare our now intertwined global societies?

    And yet, Rhythm Wars – Interval holds onto the playful – drums are cool, and so are robots.  The faceless clock of time can give us a moment of pause, or quicken the hurried rhythms.   

    Rhythm Wars – Interval is part of a series of works specifically contemplating notions of rhythm, society, and power structures.
