Address: infopsin, Storgata 36 C, 0182 Oslo
Floor: 2
The studio is open Sunday 27 April from 12-17
A bit more than ten years in to this I find myself looking at a body of work that particularly cares for and is stoked by the consequences language and the capture of the writing system has on human creatures and our companion tools. I prefer to work with poor, commercial and found materials. I have worked with institutional archives, with a pull towards stories echoed in the lelftovers. Rather than using the default in the order we live under, I look to the ‘divid’, and let it stand for a dismembered kind of negative subject that looks for cracks to worry in. I’m into Anne-Marie Sauzeau-Boetti).
I’m also part of the artist group infopsin, with Ayat Tuleubek, Ignas Krunglevicius og Istvan Virag.

Planned projects and exhibitions
With the artist group infopsin, we are working towards a larger manifestation on a museum level group exhibition. After the generational change in Podium, I have more time to develop work in the studio. I aim to publish my collected notations (2012-2022) for performance works with visual material and introductory essays in autumn 2026.
