Current work proces for exhibition at Hordaland Kunstsenter april 2017

For a new exhibition I will explore the possibilities within the medium of conceptual books in combination with an installation in space. I will work with the negative of space, with cut outs that create a new space and dimensionality. By working with flat objects, with on the one hand the flatness of a page of a book and on the other hand the mainly flattened objects on the wall and in space, I create three dimensionality; 2 + 2 = 3. Layering and playing with dimensionality by creating different platforms to look at things is a recurring aspect withing my practice. For this exhibition I entend to take it one step further as I actively engange the audience in following my path. By presenting the audience a book when entering the exhibition, I give them literaly a way of looking at the exhibition.

The two experiences, the book and the installation, can not excist without each other, they enhance each another in different ways. Together they create three different kind of objects in the exhibition. One of which is the art objects in the exhibition itself, then the book as object in itself and at last the viewer als important link between the two. The viewer becomes an essential part of the exhibition. Not only by viewing and linking the installation together with the book but also as an interesting object in space itself. By letting the viewer wander the exhibition with literaly a book before his head they become an interesting object in space to look at themselves. They become small walking sculptures and an important part of the exhibition.
