MEANDER Moon Calendar 2025

In spring 2024, MEANDER invited artists living in different parts of the world to share short instructions and exercises about water. The material has been put together in the form of a calendar, which follows the moon’s cycles and shows the tides in various places. In the MEANDER Moon Calendar the imagination flows like a river through environments in different countries, as the artists’ instructions ask us what water can express between different states—when it evaporates, freezes, or melts out of glaciers. How would life be if we didn’t have clocks but followed time in harmony with the sun, moon, water, and other living beings? Who takes care of the water where you live? Can you imagine a rule of care for an entire river system? What would a wetland nature reserve look like in your neighborhood? What if you were an octopus? Or a drop of water reflecting the world around you?

The calendar is currently on show as part of the exhibition THE TIDES MAKE MOUNTAINS SWAY AND THE SCENT OF PINE CAN CREATE RAIN, curated by Randi Nygård at the Norwegian Drawing Center in Oslo.
