SELVPORTRETT I SELFIENS TID

INGRID LYDERSEN LYSTAD

This book focuses on identity, who we want to be, and what we consider essential to convey about ourselves. Eight of Norway’s leading visual artists respond to the question “Who are you?” through their self-portraits.

Ingrid L. Lystad has interviewed Håkon Bleken, Tore Bjørn Skjølsvik, Marianne Heske, Håkon Gullvåg, Lotte Konow Lund, Esther Maria Bjørneboe, Shwan Dler Qaradaki, and Máret Ánne Sara.

Through images and words, the artists explore their identities from various perspectives, sharing what has been particularly significant in shaping who they are today. This is the first book in which Norwegian visual artists share their stories and self-portraits.

Thus, this book is highly relevant and a significant testament to our times.

MARIANNE MANNSÅKER

LINJER.FELT/LINES.FIELDS

Lines.Fields was released at Marianne Mannsåker’s exhibition Licorne at Kunstbanken, Hamar, 20 August–9 October 2022.

“Marianne Mannsåker treats materials, references and iconography in a complex and subtle way – internal reflections stand out in relief from the intertwining threads of various media. Lines confirm the contours of her entire work. Earlier and recent works cohere, via a long process of genesis. A movement through her practice is discernible and results in changes through time: sometimes scarcely noticeable, at other times emphatic. From textile art to painting and drawing, with a special sense of the literary, Mannsåker explores the point of balance between representational and abstract art. On the material’s own premises, fluctuating between the senses. That which with concentration and intensity is launched out into an open space returns after a while to its point of departure, like a returned letter in an unfinished correspondence.”
