up against the line – 2021

Press release: In this exhibition, Janine Magelssen presents site-specific works, wall reliefs, works on paper, and sculptural constructions. The artist’s work takes drawing as a point of departure in a quest to understand form and its related concepts.

Et fellestrekk ved deres kunstneriske metode er interessen for romlighet og fokusert / ufokusert lytting – lydelig og visuellt. Silent Sounding er et møtepunkt hvor kunstnerne utforsker enkle grunnprinsipper knyttet til lyd, lys og form. Prosjektet består av en felles installasjon og individuel
