The larp “New Voices in Art” has been admitted to Nisjelandet , the art section of the music festival By:Larm taking place in Oslo 21 - 23 February. New Voices in Art will be played at Hausmansgt. 27 (enter from Torggata) from 18 - 20 on Friday the 22nd.
New Voices in Art is a short larp about a group of aspiring artist the night before the opening of the exhibition ‘New Voices in Art’. The participants play a version of themselves as aspiring artists. The main themes of this game are ambition, ambivalence and aloneness. The world of modern art is used as a setting to symbolize our yearning for success and fulfillment as creative individuals. Each participant is randomly given a piece of art for the duration of the game that is their work contribution to this exhibition. New Voices in Art has previously been played in Oslo and at Knudepunkt in Denmark in 2007.
One aim of Nisjelandet is to show a selection of distinct forms of cultural expressions being shared with others through the internet. New Voices in Art as well as some other games are freely available at Chambergames.

This sounds extremely interesting! Look forward to playing it in Finland!
I’m very intrigued by this! Please share your experiences with this in great detail
I’d love to know more and participate if the opportunity arrives.-
I played this about… a year ago, I think, and it was great fun. Very low-entry-level: Just dress up as an aspiring artist and show up. One fun technique that’s used is the “tapping someone’s glass” rule: If you tap someone else’s drinking glass, they have to give a short monologue about what their character is thinking. (Just about everyone was thinking about sex, apparently).
There’s an in-character review of the “exhibit” over at Imagonem.
