This year I was invited to contribute to the annual folder of three prints which is distributed to the one hundred members of Norsk forening for grafisk kunst (Norwegian Association for Graphic Arts). My contribution is the lithographic print “Gjenganger” (ed. of 100). The two other artists featured in this year’s folder is Sonja Krohn and Kenneth Blom.
Gjenganger, lithograph, 40 x 50 cm, 2019. Ed. 100.
This summer my art practice was featured in a commercial for the labour union FinansForbundet.

Den norske modellen er unik i verdenssammenheng. Vi kan nesten kalle den et lite kunstverk. For å forklare de ulike aspektene ved denne modellen, har vi derfor gått til kunstens verden. Ulike kunstnere har fått oppgaven å forklare deler av den norske modellen gjennom sin kunstform.
So thrilled and honoured to be awarded the BKH Kunststudentstipend (BKH Grant for Art Students) together with so many talented artists!
Established in 1948 by the Norwegian Parliament, The Relief Fund for Visual Artists (Bildende Kunstneres Hjelpefond) is an organisation that provides project support, individual grants and scholarships to artists working in Norway. Having disbursed funds for almost 650 million NOK since its inception, the BKH is a major economic partner on the Norwegian art scene, making an important contribution to ensuring artistic diversity and innovation throughout the country. The funds are generated through a five percent tax on all public sale of art and art commissions in Norway.

This is not an exhibition of artworks. Rather, it is a sort of diary, opened to a page in the middle, on its way somewhere but not yet arrived. It’s a book launch and a book-burning. It’s a plunge into the archives of artistic practices and institutions that may show us something about the structures we work with and against, and a few of the ways print media can be engaged in a contemporary context. We wish to facilitate the collection and distribution of different versions of the histories, lies, and apparent realities that protect and betray us equally in turn, and that perhaps exist in the spaces between each of us.
We are seven participants from the MA1 cohort of Printmaking and Drawing; from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Bangladesh, and the USA. Our shared history is convening at Galleri Seilduken at Kunsthøgskolen i Oslo.
