The opening of this very special place marks an important milestone for the Future Library. Hanne rstavik : Ti amo, Ti Amo, 2022, And Other Stories/Archipelago Books. The room is designed by artist Katie Paterson and architects Atelier Oslo and LundHagem. Karl Ove Knausgrd, Karl Ove Knausgaard : Ute av verden, Out of the World. The silent room will be home to all the manuscripts contributed to the project until their eventual publication in the year 2114. The Future Library handover ceremony 2022 however promises to be a very special event, and a milestone for the visionary project: not only will the annual handover take place, but this year the ceremony will include the opening of the manuscripts’ resting place, the silent room in the new public library Deichman Bjørvika. However, following the global outbreak of COVID-19, these have been paused. Prior to the pandemic, each author had walked a special route through the Nordmanka forest as part of an annual handover ceremony. Since then, the shelves of the future library have swollen with contributions from the likes of Elif Shafak and Man Booker prize winning author, Han Kang. The first writer to contribute a text was Margaret Attwood, with novelist David Mitchell adding his own manuscript the following year. Each writer has the same remit: to conceive and produce a work in the hopes of finding a receptive reader in an unknown future. From 2014 until 2114, one writer every year will contribute a text, with the writings held in trust, unpublished for up to 100 years. The Future Library – Framstidsbiblioteket – is a 100-year artwork launched by Scottish artist Katie Paterson ( read our interview with Katie here). A path through the Nordmarka forest – where the footsteps of authors past, present and future will follow. Karl Ove Knausgaard, Knausgaard also spelled Knausgård, (born December 6, 1968, Oslo, Norway), Norwegian writer whose six-volume autobiographical novel, Min kamp (200911 My Struggle, 201218), proved to be a runaway best seller in Norway and also captivated a large and growing number of English-language readers. The autumns long-awaited visit comes on the occasion that Knausgrd will receive the Hans Christian Andersen Literature Prize in 2022, and that he published.
