«Antiphony» by Hanan Benammar collects scanned notebook pages from the project of the same name, which has been performed since 2014 in English, Norwegian, Dutch, Italian and Icelandic. This publication was performatively produced at the new National Museum in Oslo in August 2022 as part of the opening exhibition «I call it art / Jeg kaller det kunst». «Antiphony» is an answering service that takes over an art institution’s phone number. Callers can choose among a variable amount of words. The conversations can be short or long, they can be pleasant, abrupt or interrupted. You can call at any time, participants may be available or not available. None of the conversations are recorded, but the project participants are taking notes in a dedicated notebook, which becomes the only documentation of the piece.
