A big thank you to everyone who visited our Open Studio and Pop-Up Show at Blaker gamle meieri (Blaker Old Dairy).
It was a great privilege and joy to once again welcome visitors to the print studio of late artist Guttorm Guttormsgaard, and to help carry on his legacy.
The event was part of Den store kunstdagen 19th September 2020, a one day art festival initiated by the Municipality of Lillestrøm, curated by Mari Meen Halsøy and produced by Akershus kunstsenter.

As part of DEN STORE KUNSTDAGEN 19.09.2020 hosted by the municipality of Lillestrøm, I will be co-hosting an Open Day at Guttorm Guttormsgaard’s old print studio at Blaker gamle meieri (next to Blaker Train Station, L14 train from Oslo Central Station).
From 12-16 pm there will be printmaking demos, papermaking demos and a pop-up show featuring prints and videos by myself, Erika Reed and Suzannah Rehell Øistad. Close to Blaker gamle meieri is also the beautiful Blaker skanse, where you can visit the studios of several local artists.

I am the second of four artists exhibiting as part of the series Why I Stay at Northing Space in Bergen. My exhibition period opens on Monday 7th September 19:00. You can read more about the event on Facebook.
Why I Stay is an exhibition series with 4 exhibitors who are all with an East Asian ethnic background and working in different creative fields in Norway. Northing Space is offering them a unique platform to demonstrate their creative abilities and eagerness to make contributions to the cultural development in the society they are living in. We will also explore the question together with them: how would native cultures cultivate and contribute to professional life in a foreign/multi-cultural context.
Northing Space and its program is supported by Kulturrådet, Bergen Kommune and Stiftelsen Fritt Ord.
