Anja Carr, Petter Buhagen and Monica Winther at Akershus Kunstsenter

The artists currently exhibited at AKS are Anja Carr, Petter Buhagen and Monica Winther. All three solo exhibitions comes with a kind of dreamy impression - all in their own way.

The exhibition is standing until the 28th of October, so check it out for yourself!
Opening hours can be found at AKS homepage, here.

The exhibition starts in the first floor, with the main gallery room consisting of one piece from each artist. Pictures and thoughts about all three exhibitions will be posted soon!

Olve Sande "Flats" at Akershus Kunstsenter

The other exhibition, that was in house when I started my internship, was Olve Sandes exhibition of flats in different expressions and materials. His work is detailed and accurate, maybe in contrast to the other exhibition in house? The different pieces of the exhibition floats into each other, as forms and details from one piece is used "with a twist" in another, and I get a peaceful and almost meditative state of mind by walking through the rooms.

Clemens Behr and Olve Sande at Akershus Kunstsenter

For 10 weeks this fall I will be in an internship at Akershus Kunstsenter in Lillestrøm, 10 minutes from Oslo. There will be three exhibitions during my internship, and I will try to present them all on this blog.

The first exhibition I got to experience from "the inside" was Clemens Behr's "Suspended bins and broken windows" and Olve Sande's "Flats". Unfortunately the exhibition is down already, I helped dismantling it, but feel free to have a taste of what it was like through my eyes and impressions.

Here comes the first part, stand by for Olve Sande soon!

"Suspended bins and broken windows"

Akershus Kunstsenter, wall piece by Clemens Behr

Approaching the premises, the first piece of the exhibition visualizes. Clemens Behr is known for his origami-like pieces made from cardboard and other recycled, thrown-away and used materials. In this exhibition the main material is wood and other building materials, like plasterboards and plexiglas.

Inside the first room of the exhibition, "a mess of" building materials is installed in the room from floor to roof. I meet chaos, but somehow a nice chaos. Clean and obviously made with a smile. The spots of life in the green plants softens the expression and the linearity of the piece.

Walking the exhibition with Tor Arne Samuelsen, the exhibition-manager of AKS and my supervisor during my time at AKS, told me it reminded him of building tree-houses in the woods as children, and I felt it suited just fine for the feeling of the room.

The second part of the exhibition was made out of pieces of painted plexiglas, both as wall-pieces and sculptures.

The peace and softness of the visual expression, combined with the hard and sharp texture of the glass stood in great contrast to the chaotic but softened first impression. The green plants could also be found in this room, connecting the two exhibition rooms with life.

The last piece was made of two plastic garbage bins, cut and made floating in the air on invisible strings.
