Represented by Galleri Riis I am very happy and proud to say that I am now represented by Galleri Riis. |
Participating with Gallery D.O.R at Armory Show 2012 Gallery D.O.R have invited me to participate within their project for the Armory Show 2012. They are part of the Nordic Focus area, and the opening is on the 7th of March 2012. With their project they are problematizing their own role as both artists and gallerists. Inspired by Seth Siegelaub's contract for artists, they invite artists to present a recipe for an artwork, which the collector can buy together with the detailed agreement of how the art work shall be produced and handled in general. It is a very interesting project, and I'm looking forward to seeing if any collectors will submit an application to receive my art work as a donation. |

May 2010 Some glimpses of what I've been working on lately:
|
I was commissioned to produce a design for the coloumn On Language in the New York Times Magazine in May 2008. This exhibition will show that piece along with contributions from more than 200 other designers, illustrators and artists. Check out the NY Times webpage for the archive of William Safire's intriguing writing.

Commission for a public art piece, January 2009 The Development Centre / Senter for Utviklingssamarbeid - at Vestbanen, Oslo I am currently working on an art piece for Norad which is due for September 2009. The sculptural piece will be produced in collaboration with Zambian artists, so I am happy to announce that I will be in Lusaka for 5 weeks this February and March. African art and its influence on Picasso and other giants of Modernism will be the main topic of the process- oriented project. It will result in an 8 meters tall floating installation which will cut through 3 floors at the development centre. The picture above shows Picasso in his studio, surrounded by some of the African sculptures from his collection. The picture below shows the yellow building before the renovations started. On the left: Aker Brygge, on the right: The Nobel Peace Centre. The project is commissioned by KORO

Lights On - Norwegian Contemporary Art – Bastard presents Monumento Mori Lights On - Norwegian Contemporary Artists at the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art in Oslo Gallery BASTARD presents: MONUMENTO MORI I am participating in the exhibition MONUMENTO MORI curated by Bastard to be part of the large exhibition Lights On at the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art in Oslo. The show includes a long list of young, Norwegian artists. Opening on the 12th of January 2008, the Bastard show includes Lina Viste Grønli, Lars Laumann, Anders Smebye, two mysterious Germans and myself. The title MONUMENTO MORI can indicate the search many contemporary sculptors find themselves lost in, ending up at sites, non-sites, dead sites and future sites. Don't miss it! |
Lights On - Norwegian Contemporary Art – ONE FOR THE BOOKS Lights On - Norwegian Contemporary Art For the same exhibition at the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, I am organizing ONE FOR THE BOOKS, a temporary bookshop. Bringing together a wide range of printed material by young, Norwegian artists, the bookshop will offer visitors a chance to dig deeper and wider into the field, which hardly can be summarized in one show. Additionally, ONE FOR THE BOOKS will present small, independent publishing houses which give Norwegian artists the chance to distribute their artist's books, fanzines, monographs, catalogues, etc. Three of them can be found here: |
