Fjell Festning’s inaugural exhibition Northbound showcases six artists practicing across Norway, Sweden, Scotland and England. Storytelling takes centre stage as history, memory and myth resonate throughout the exhibition.

Brekke’s work is inspired by the objects and artefacts rooted to a particular place, often with historical significance, from which she makes casts and copies that suggest new meanings and uses.
Her latest series Farsarv/Patrimony is based on the tools and artefacts her grandfather made to practise as a blacksmith artist, a pursuit he abandoned owing to a lack of material and the need for labourers to rebuild the country after the Second World War.

NORTHBOUND NORDGÅENDE

EXHIBITION AT FJELL FESTNING POSTPONED TO SPRING 2021.

Northbound | Nordgående is an exhibition of contemporary ceramics, drawing and performance with a focus on process and place, and is the work of a group of six artists from Scotland and Norway.

Together, their work celebrates the diversity and vibrancy of contemporary ceramicists. The exhibition also looks to highlight the influence of place on the artists’ work, exploring, in particular, the cross-border, cultural connections across northern Europe and the region’s ancient and traditional maritime routes. The work is travelling northwards over the next year, its voyage completed at Fjell Festning Museum near Bergen in 2021. In each new venue, the exhibition will be reconfigured by different curators, creating four versions of its own narrative.

UNiK. Galleri Format

Me har gleda over å delta på gruppeutstillinga UNiK på Galleri Format i Oslo 22.november- 22.desember 2018

Hver eneste kunsthåndverker er unik. Hvert eneste produkt er unikt. At vi samles i Galleri Format gjør oss til et unikt fellesskap av kunsthåndverkere og designere. Salgsutstillingen vil ha et blandet materialbruk, som viser nyttefunksjon i tillegg til en estetisk opplevelse, som plasserer objektene i et skjæringspunkt mellom design og kunst. 22. november åpner salgsutstillingen UNiK med Christina Peel, Guri Sandvik, noidoi, Barmen & Brekke, Kneip, Studio Føy, Anne Udnes, Kari Mølstad, Nina Malterud, Elisa Helland-Hansen og Tonning & Stryn med design av Andreas Engesvik.

Hver lørdag kan du i møte kunsthåndverkernene til en UNiK samtale vi har kalt ”coffee with makers”.
