Encompassing painting, drawing, sculpture, text, and textiles, Ingrid L\u00f8nningdal\u2019s practice, according to the artist, \u201cseeks to provide an understanding of the spaces we inhabit.\u201d Often using architecture as a starting point, many of her works are the result of detailed building studies conducted in her native Norway and abroad. The first room of L\u00f8nningdal\u2019s exhibition at Ku\u0308nstlerhaus Bethanien, for instance, contains four large-scale wall hangings, three of which are informed by the AEG-Turbinenfabrik (AEG Turbine factory), located in the Berlin district of Moabit. Built under Peter Behrens in 1909, the factory can be seen as one of the first attempts to implement modernist design features in an industrial building, marking a radical departure from the more ornamental styles of the past. Made from hessian and silicate mineral paint, these works are a continuation of the series \u201cFibre Reinforcement\u201d (2019\u2013 ongoing), in which, working from watercolor studies she makes in response to her source buildings, the artist uses silicate paint to explore the grid-like structure of the woven fabric.<\/p>\n
In the exhibition\u2019s second room, L\u00f8nningdal continues her use of these readily accessible materials but reduces the scale to allow for greater freedom and experimentation. The series \u201cEdges\u201d is based on buildings by the renowned German architect Bruno Taut, while the watercolors in \u201cBeat (Stressed \/ Unstressed)\u201d is an ongoing investigation of color.<\/p>\n
