They may appear as things and toys, as nothings and beings. Textile is my main material, and the object as a phenomenon is central to my projects. I am interested in how we interpret and attach value to the things around us. At the same time I question whether the object can be an autonomous being, with its own awareness of its own existence, or if such a concept merely a projection. The relationship between human and object is important in my works, and is something that I try to navigate with an open mind. Touch and connection are essential elements, and I encourage wonder and curiosity, while trying to find the balance between the absurd and playful, and the strict and serious. My work takes the form of sculpture, as interactive installations, as performances and as text, sometimes all combined. I sew and embroider my works by hand and by machine, and consider the textile’s historical and technical value along the way. I try to find the thing’s purpose, whether it is to be a placeholder for all of our hopes and doubts, or to be its own, lovingly unempathetic self.&nbsp; Born 1990.

The project began as a daily writing ritual, where over the course of a year, I wrote a daily sentence based on predictions from an astrology app. The archive from this ritual forms the basis for a soft book, where the pages are made of fabric. Each page contains a short, open and active sentence embroidered using digital machine embroidery. The books feature different combinations of these, making each edition unique. The fabric is sourced from old bed linen, softened by years of use, which gives the book a distinctive tactile quality. It is bound with cotton thread using Japanese Binding. <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6a85b155a0a9b73cd97240fa64735ad44d484d6ce5638ac2c16176b8125b879a/itc_23.jpg" data-mid="251906437" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6a85b155a0a9b73cd97240fa64735ad44d484d6ce5638ac2c16176b8125b879a/itc_23.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1099" width_o="2000" height_o="1099" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6f7e21d8d2e03aada134e18cf270564b1677ad88883d743b4fa3a8c2c2fc1e22/Daily-predictions-bok_39-kopi.jpg" data-mid="251904629" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6f7e21d8d2e03aada134e18cf270564b1677ad88883d743b4fa3a8c2c2fc1e22/Daily-predictions-bok_39-kopi.jpg" /> The book functions both as an art object and as an alternative self-help book that offers comfort through touch and reflection. It was developed in collaboration with TEXST, an independent publisher which worked with text in all formats within visual art. The book is self-published in a limited edition of 13 copies, in various designs and material combinations. <img width="1973" height="1291" width_o="1973" height_o="1291"

Det evige, omskiftande, Ingeborg Blom Andersskog, Henrik Koppen, and Mari Norddahl explore how processes such as repetition, decay, and transformation can function as artistic methods. Through sculpture, performance, and textile, they invite the audience into a sensory world where the ephemeral is placed in relation to time, material, and human longing. The exhibition is a meeting point between body, imagination, and matter, where materials such as plaster, clay, and plant-dyed textiles not only function as media but as active participants in a process in which time, decomposition, and the miraculous are given their own voice. The works invite reflection and sensory experience, challenging us to consider our relationship to the material in a culture marked by overconsumption. All three artists have their education from the Bergen National Academy of the Arts (now KMD) and began their collaboration with the project Skylle, samle, kverne, slipe, shown in a boathouse in Velsvika on Sunnmøre in the summer of 2016. In 2024, they presented the exhibition Det langsame, morknande at Galleri Christinegaard in Bergen. Det evige, omskiftande at Skiens Kunstforening builds on this collaboration, focusing on the ephemerality of materials and the extent of human influence. The exhibition is supported by Billedkunstnernes Vederlagsfond and Regionale Prosjektmidler (KiN).<img width="1772" height="867" width_o="1772" height_o="867" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c9157f97adaad9a003b61521a188157e051d4e8b5f1d63dc041d308a33c293cd/crop.jpg" data-mid="241604645" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c9157f97adaad9a003b61521a188157e051d4e8b5f1d63dc041d308a33c293cd/crop.jpg" /> Installasjonsbilete.

Kunstforening https://marinorddahl.no/Det-langsame-morknande Tue, 11 Mar 2025 15:30:46 +0000 Mari Norddahl https://marinorddahl.no/Det-langsame-morknande Det langsame, morknande Galleri Christinegaard, Bergen, Norway 19.10-10.11.2024 Performance by Ingeborg Blom Andersskog during the opening event Det langsame, morknande questions humanity's relationship with materials and our role in the ecological cycle. Ingeborg Blom Andersskog, Henrik Koppen, and Mari Norddahl explore how processes of consumption, destruction, and decomposition can function as artistic methods. Through sculpture, performance, and drawing, they invite the audience into a sensory world where the perishability of materials is highlighted in light of our own actions. By exploring natural materials and human-made processes, the exhibition emphasizes how the inherent slowness of art can open up deeper reflections on nature and sustainability. The three artists have backgrounds from the Bergen Academy of Art and Design. Previously, they collaborated on the project Skylle, samle, kverne, slipe, which was exhibited in a boathouse in Velsvika, Sunnmøre, in the summer of 2016. This exhibition is both a continuation and the beginning of a new collaboration on the perishability of materials and the impact of human influence. Ingeborg Blom Andersskog works with drawing, installation, performance, and text. She experiments with works that move between the two- and three-dimensional, exploring different ways of incorporating her own and the audience's bodies into the artwork. An interest in phenomenology and Slow Art forms the foundation for the development of her new works. Lines and circles are recurring elements in her art. With a background in ceramics, material has always played a crucial role in Andersskog’s creative process. The act of working with the material over time is essential, where the body's and the material’s properties and limitations function as a framework. Her work "In Search for the Perfect Stone" consists of an ongoing performance on the opening day and a brand-new series of watercolors. Henrik Koppen works with performance, video, sculpture, and drawing. In his work, he combines elements from religion, mythology, history, and natural sciences, staging poetic and sensory encounters with the materiality of the world. In this exhibition, he presents a series of new drawings that explore material processes, time, and a landscape in constant change. Mari Norddahl works with soft textile objects through performance, sculpture, installation, and text. In this exhibition, she examines textiles' ability to decompose, exploring the tension between the material’s autonomy and humanity’s power over the material world. Norddahl is concerned with the understanding of beings and materials through object-oriented ontology and personification. By using natural materials such as cotton and silk in interaction with compost, she studies decomposition processes and reflects on consumption, resource use, and the textile’s inherent will to take new forms, independent of our needs and intentions. She sees this slow approach as an anti-capitalist response to overproduction, focusing on processes that cannot be rushed or controlled by humans. The exhibition was supported by Bergen Municipality and Regional Project Funds from the Art Centers in Norway (Regionale Prosjektmidler). <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000"
