Slitarkjerring og bondegull is an outdoor art project in Målselv. An old and worn down barn has been painted with gold. The inside of the barn was set back to the way it looked when the barn was in use 50 years ago.
It has been appropriate to do this project in North of Norway since this kind of barn is particularly common in this part of the country. The buildings, which were so necessary for farmers half a century ago, are now days falling into decay – they are just rotting away. This old barn got the change to be useful once again.
Slitarkjerring og bondegull: loosely translated slitarkjerring means the hard working women and bondens gull is animal faeces that farmers used as manure – before they had access to fertilizers dung was “the farmer's gold".
