Dörte Kraft
Dörte Kraft’s painterly work can be divided roughly into two categories: geometrical, representational works and expressive, abstract painting. Kraft’s oversized images generally have no beginning and no end – rather, it seems that a kind of intermittent rotation around a central point is happening within them. The painterly lines form snails, whirls and eddies from which […]

Liv Strand works primarily with time-based art forms such as experimental lectures, collaborative performances or kinetic installations involving the viewer.

Using an artistic strategy characterised to equal degrees by fine irony and a refreshing triviality, Kanazawa attempts to undermine apparently […]
Stian Ådlandsvik
