"The project was the result of a collaboration between Statoil Art Programme and Vestfossen Kunstlaboratorium. Our initial intention was to exhibit selected works from Statoil's extensive collection and, indeed, the goal was achieved: all the art presented in the exhibition was owned by Statoil. In meeting with Statoil, however, we quickly came to realize that the company's art programme was more than a collection and that in presenting it we also had to reflect what the works mean in their usual environment, hanging on the walls of a large oil company.
The exhibition project Tech(nology) 4 (for) Change had as its point of departure the assumption that Statoil uses art to stimulate thought, and thereby to generate a creative mindset in the emplyees, who are of course the company's most valuable resource."
