I 2019, etter et års arbeid med flere samarbeidspartnere, forhandlet jeg en en leie og utviklingsavtale med Clarence Jensen Eiendom om deres halvferdige lokaler i Arnljot Gellines Vei 41. Lokalene var betydelig større en det vi hadde på Frysja og ville kreve et betydelig innsats for å aktivisere. Vi klarte det takket være innsatsen til alle våre leietakere og drømmere. Jeg arbeidet på flere fronter fra prosjektledelse av forskjellige opppussingsprosjekter til søknadsskriving og politisk påvirkningsarbeid for å trekke inn den nødvendige økonomiske støtten.
It’s quickly apparent that Kroloftet is an extraordinary store of invention and a site of unexpectedly diverse production - from large scale theatrical puppets and ceramic wares made from waste material extracted from the site of one of Oslo’s major cultural projects to hand-whittled spoons and lightweight machine-milled kayaks clad in a beguiling material cultivated in petri dishes. Like similar spaces in many other large cities it occupies a building which has little pretensions. It is a practical working space on the margins, that isn’t sited or designed to serve or invite any public use. But its a place which a community of professionals and a wider public can come together, share resources and develop projects, generating unexpected and imaginative things which enrich the city’s cultural life.
