This book is the catalogue of the XVII edition of the Lofoten International Art Festival, the longest-running biennial in Scandinavia. Entitled Fantasmagoriana, the exhibition took place at the North Norwegian Art Centre in Svolvaer and at five sites in Kabelvåg, above the Arctic Circle, in 2022. The volume describes the works exhibited by the thirty-seven artists participating in the festival, as well as the research background, residency programs, and preview projects in Venice and Oslo that preceded the inauguration of the biennial. Texts by Francesco Urbano Ragazzi, Marianne Hultman, Helga-Marie Nordby are included in the catalogue, together with a short novel by Kurt Schwitters which was translated into English and Norwegian for the first time on this occasion.
