Pangstart is the officially best way to start off a new academic term, the highlight of the year already in the first week of the new semester! Students across all Bachelor and Master classes are presented with a seemingly impossible task that should be executed within only two days.

This year’s topic was STORE ORD (BIG WORDS) literally and metaphorically. 9 groups were assigned one public space in the centre of Oslo each in order to stage a "typographic” intervention of more or less poetic, more or less political, more or less nonsensical nature.

2 days of thinking, cutting, painting and arranging letters culminated in the (most probably) biggest and shortest lasting exhibition of site-specific language art (uhh!) yet in Oslo. BOOYAH!
