Kunstpodden: Hauntology

I recently guested the art podcast Kunstpodden as part of the newest episode on “Hauntology”, which discusses the idea that our present is haunted by ghosts of not only the past, but of alternative futures that were lost and never came to be. I talk about my recent exhibition “The Ghosts We Chase We Never Catch” at Norske Grafikere, and how my family's past shape my work. The episode also discusses Paulina Olowska's exhibition “Her Hauntology” at Kistefos, as well as the term hauntology itself. The podcast is in Norwegian, and is hosted by Cecilie Tyri Holt.

You can listen to the episode here or on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

From the opening of "Blikk på metall"

I am so thrilled to be participating in the group exhibition "Blikk på metall" at The Peder Balke Centre in Østre Toten, Norway. I am exhibiting a number of photogravures and mezzotints, alongside beautiful works by Ellen Karin Mæhlum, Giske Sigmundstad, Pål Vigeland, Aaron Lie, Leif Stangebye-Nielsen, Linnéa Blakéus Calder and David Alexander Calder.

The Peder Balke Centre earned its name from a room featuring wall paintings by the famous Norwegian artist Peder Balke (1804-1887). Being a grade listed 18th century building, The Peder Balke Centre interacts with the art exhibits in unique and stunning ways, and I am so honoured to have my works on display in such a special place. The exhibition is open from 14 May - 12 June, and I warmly recommend making a day trip from Oslo.

The exhibition is curated by Tomas Gjetmundsen.

"Blikk på metall" at Peder Balke-Senteret

This summer I am participating in the group exhibition “Blikk på metall” at Peder Balke-Senteret in Østre Toten, Norway. The exhibition is open from 14 May - 12 June, and features eight artists working with metal in their artistic practices. The exhibition is curated by Tomas Gjetmundsen.

"Family Portraits", Glaskasten, Chemnitz

To conclude my residency in Chemnitz, Germany, I am presenting a solo show at Glaskasten, the gallery connected to the print studio where I have been working for the past weeks. The exhibition consists of lithographic prints created during my stay, alongside some of my earlier works. The exhibition is open 7 - 29 May on Saturday and Sunday from 16:00-20:00, or by appointment. Thank you to Klub Solitaer and i-Portunus for making this residency and exhibition possible.

Print residency in Chemnitz, Germany

I am very excited to be spending the next three weeks in Chemnitz, Germany, where I have been invited to work as a resident printmaker at Glaskasten Druckstock, a gallery and print studio. The residency is hosted by Klub Solitaer, a non-profit arts organization partially funded by the city of Chemnitz, and is sponsored by i-Portunus, a European mobility scheme for artists and creatives. The residency will culminate in an exhibition featuring earlier works alongside works produced during my stay.
