We have the pleasure to present Idun Baltzersens second solo exhibition at the gallery. The Eyes of Others<\/em> presents new textile collages from woodcuts and painted wooden assemblages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the new exhibition Idun Baltzersen has focused on a feeling of inadequacy in an increasingly complicated world. The body of work deal with the difficulty of navigating by one\u2019s own moral compass in dark times with an uncertain future and how this affects us as individuals and as a group. Baltzersen bases her work both on personal experiences and on what is currently happening in society. She examines the interaction between people, the sense of exclusion and the willingness to fit in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the core of the new works is about a shame, of not being a decent person. To feel guilty for a lack of commitment to the chaos that prevails in the present.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Idun Baltzersen has explored the possibilities and limitations of the woodcuts for many years. The work process is important and visible even in the finished works. She cuts, chops and carves her pictures directly on large plywood boards and then prints the pictures by hand on textile. The physical resistance in the material loads the works with significance. The motifs are often portraits of individuals with a focus on body language and gestures. These figures constitute the basic material for the collages and assemblages shown in the exhibition. The printed textiles are cut into pieces and sewn together into monumental collages. The carved plywood boards are sawn apart and joined together in painted assemblages. The result are dense, composite compositions and stagings where the individuals are placed in new constellations and into larger contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Idun Baltzersen was born in 1987 in Trondheim, Norway. She was educated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bergen and Konstfack in Stockholm. Since graduating in 2014, she has lived and worked in Stockholm. In recent years, she has had a large number of exhibitions at galleries and institutions, especially in Sweden and Norway. In 2014, she was awarded the Anna-Lisa Thomson Grant and an exhibition at Uppsala Art Museum, Sweden. The following year she was one of the recipients of the Fredrik Roos grant who exhibited at Moderna Museet in Malm\u00f6, Sweden. In 2016 she received the Bernadotte grant from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, which involved a studio and exhibition in the academy building. Her work can be found in the collections of e.g. Magasin III, Stockholm, Uppsala Art Museum and V\u00e4ster\u00e5s Art Museum. Her work is at the moment presented in the exhibition Signature Women at Artipelag in Gustavsberg, Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vi har gl\u00e4djen att presentera Idun Baltzersens andra separatutst\u00e4llning p\u00e5 galleriet. I Andras \u00f6gon<\/em> visas nya textila collage av tr\u00e4snitt och bem\u00e5lade assemblage i tr\u00e4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Idun Baltzersen har under arbetet med utst\u00e4llningen intresserat sig f\u00f6r en k\u00e4nsla av otillr\u00e4cklighet i en allt mer komplicerad v\u00e4rld. Hon har tagit fasta vid sv\u00e5righeten som m\u00e5nga upplever att navigera efter en egen moralisk kompass i en m\u00f6rk tid med oviss framtid och hur det p\u00e5verkar oss som individer och grupp. Baltzersen utg\u00e5r i sitt arbete b\u00e5de fr\u00e5n personliga erfarenheter och det som sker i samh\u00e4llet utanf\u00f6r. Hon unders\u00f6ker samspelet mellan m\u00e4nniskor, utanf\u00f6rskap och viljan att passa in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jag tror att k\u00e4rnan i de nya verken handlar om en skam \u00f6ver att inte vara en anst\u00e4ndig m\u00e4nniska. Att k\u00e4nna skuld f\u00f6r brist p\u00e5 engagemang i det kaos som r\u00e5der i samtiden.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Idun Baltzersen har under m\u00e5nga \u00e5r arbetat med tr\u00e4snittets m\u00f6jligheter och begr\u00e4nsningar. Arbetsprocessen \u00e4r viktig och synlig \u00e4ven i de f\u00e4rdiga verken. Hon sk\u00e4r, hugger och snidar sina bilder direkt p\u00e5 stora plywoodskivor och trycker d\u00e4refter bilderna f\u00f6r hand p\u00e5 textil. Det fysiska motst\u00e5ndet i materialet laddar verken med betydelse. Motiven \u00e4r ofta portr\u00e4tt av enskilda individer med fokus p\u00e5 kroppsspr\u00e5k och gester. Dessa figurer utg\u00f6r sedan ett grundmaterial f\u00f6r de collage och assemblage som visas i utst\u00e4llningen. Den tryckta textilen klipps i delar och sys ihop till monumentala collage. De karvade plywoodskivorna s\u00e5gas s\u00f6nder och sammanfogas i bem\u00e5lade assemblage. Resultatet \u00e4r t\u00e4ta, sammansatta kompositioner och iscens\u00e4ttningar d\u00e4r de enskilda individerna placeras in i nya konstellationer och st\u00f6rre sammanhang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Idun Baltzersen \u00e4r f\u00f6dd 1987 i Trondheim, Norge. Hon \u00e4r utbildad p\u00e5 Konsth\u00f6gskolan i Bergen och Konstfack i Stockholm. Sedan sin examen 2014 bor och arbetar hon i Stockholm. Hon har de senaste \u00e5ren haft en stor m\u00e4ngd utst\u00e4llningar p\u00e5 gallerier och institutioner, framf\u00f6rallt i Sverige och Norge. 2014 tilldelades hon Anna-Lisa Thomsons stipendium och en utst\u00e4llning p\u00e5 Uppsala Konstmuseum. 2015 var hon en av Fredrik Roos-stipendiaterna som visades p\u00e5 Moderna Museet i Malm\u00f6. 2016 erh\u00f6ll hon Bernadotte-stipendiet fr\u00e5n Konstakademien som innebar en atelj\u00e9 under stipendie\u00e5ret och utst\u00e4llning i akademiens salar. Hennes verk finns i samlingarna hos bl.a. Magasin III, Stockholm, Uppsala Konstmuseum och V\u00e4ster\u00e5s Konstmuseum. Just nu visas hennes verk \u00e4ven i utst\u00e4llningen Signature Women p\u00e5 Artipelag i Gustavsberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
