Art and ecology in Gildeskål, Nordland, Norway since 2003.

'''Sørfinnset skole / the nord land''' is a contemporary art project based on a place specific, socially engaged learning process, devoted to collective living, making and thinking. The collective has an emphasis on dialogue, long term commitment and an experimental form of value production which connects different traditions and experiences. It is a forever lasting work started in 2003, with focus on relationships with nature, knowledge exchange and small-scale architecture in a broad understanding of aesthetics and ecological realisms.

Sørfinnset skole / the nord land has its roots in Kunstneriske forstyrrelser (Artistic Interruptions), a county-wide project in Nordland, curated by Per Gunnar Eeg-Tverbakk. The artists Søssa Jørgensen and Geir Tore Holm were invited to work in Gildeskål municipality and were given a base in the disused school in the village of Sørfinnset. Here, they collaborated with Kamin Lertchaiprasert and Rirkrit Tiravanija − the founders of [[the land]] in Sampatong outside Chang Mai in northern Thailand − on the foundation of Sørfinnset skole / the nord land.
