Sosiale kategorier som kj\u00f8nn og etnisitet, seksuell orien\u00adtering og sam\u00adfunns\u00adklasse setter ulike avtrykk i kunst\u00adver\u00addenen. Under denne forut\u00adsetningen var det at Idun Baltzersen begynte \u00e5 spore opp hvordan en norsk\u00adf\u00f8dt iden\u00adtitet kan virke inn p\u00e5 kunst\u00adneriske valg. En samlende refe\u00adranse for henne ble havet <\/em>som et fysisk og mytisk fenomen. Gjennom en lang billed\u00adtradisjon favner kjenn\u00adskapen vi har f\u00e5tt til havet alt fra det frykt\u00adinngytende til det ideali\u00adserte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tresnittene\u00a0Baderne\u00a0<\/em>lar Baltzersen figurene balansere i et liknende vippe\u00adpunkt mellom et til\u00adkjenne\u00adgitt ubehag og en villet posering. Baltzersen visual\u00adiserer figurene delvis ned\u00adsunket i vann eller st\u00e5ende p\u00e5 land i et collage\u00adaktig strand\u00admilj\u00f8. Kropps\u00adspr\u00e5ket signal\u00adiserer en ambi\u00advalens i m\u00f8tet med det ukon\u00adtrol\u00adler\u00adbare natur\u00adele\u00admentet. Som en sublim st\u00f8r\u00adrelse, f\u00e5r havets uro\u00advek\u00adkende krefter utspille seg i form av b\u00f8l\u00adgende, brusende beve\u00adgelser tett p\u00e5 de noe av\u00advent\u00adende baderne.

I forarbeidet til utstil\u00adlingen Baderne<\/em> i Overlys\u00adsalen har Baltzersen fordypet seg i den svenske kunstneren Eug\u00e8ne Janssons frem\u00adstillinger av badere. Spesielt tone\u00adangiv\u00adende har maleriet Flottans badhus<\/em> (1907) v\u00e6rt. Det henger i \u201cMunch-rummet\u201d p\u00e5 Thielska galleriet i Stock\u00adholm. Han virket samtidig med Edvard Munch, men Janssons figurer fremsto som langt mer for\u00adbil\u00adled\u00adlige i gjen\u00adgivelsen. Baltzersens inter\u00adesse ligger i hvordan Flottans badhus<\/em> har g\u00e5tt fra \u00e5 v\u00e6re en ideal\u00adisert frem\u00adstilling av manns\u00adkrop\u00adper til \u00e5 handle om begj\u00e6r. Andre fore\u00adlegg med betyd\u00adning for Baderne <\/em>er Munchs motiver av sv\u00f8m\u00admere under vann. En viss rele\u00advans har ogs\u00e5 Anders Zorns folke\u00adlige ets\u00adninger av nakne kvinn\u00adeakter i Stock\u00adholms skj\u00e6r\u00adg\u00e5rd hatt. Baltzersens avbildede figurer er hentet fra eldre arkiv\u00adfotoer av sv\u00f8mme\u00adlag og badere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utstillingen best\u00e5r av en arkitek\u00adtonisk spiral av rikt farge\u00adsatte tresnitt. Betrak\u00adteren inviteres inn blant tresnitt trykket p\u00e5 tekstil og spent opp p\u00e5 blind\u00adrammer i kropps\u00adh\u00f8ye formater. P\u00e5 vegg henger en serie mindre svart-hvite tresnitt med detaljer frem\u00adhevet i r\u00f8dt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baltzersens arbeider kjenne\u00adtegnes av en ekspe\u00adri\u00admen\u00adtell inngang til ulike trykke\u00adteknikker, hen\u00adholds\u00advis tre\u00adsnitt og assem\u00adblage p\u00e5 papir, tekstil og tre. Ved \u00e5 benytte skift\u00adende pers\u00adpek\u00adtiver og monu\u00admentale av\u00adbild\u00adninger utfordrer hun betrak\u00adterens blikk og rommets fysiske inte\u00adgritet.

Idun Baltzersen er f\u00f8dt i 1987 i Trondheim. Hun har studert ved Kunst\u00adh\u00f8g\u00adskolen i Bergen og Konst\u00adfack i Stock\u00adholm hvor hun har v\u00e6rt bosatt siden 2011. Baltzersen har stilt ut i en rekke gallerier og museer, f\u00f8rste gang i Kunstner\u00adforbundet i 2015 da hennes grafikk og kunstner\u00adb\u00f8ker ble vist i en duo\u00adutstilling med Guttorm Guttorms\u00adgaard. Hennes verk er blant annet repre\u00adsentert i sam\u00adlingene til Moderna Museet, Magasin III Museum for Contem\u00adporary Art, G\u00f6teborgs konst\u00admuseum, Uppsala konst\u00admuseum og Haugesund billed\u00adgalleri. Hennes arbeider er innkj\u00f8pt av St. Olavs hospital, Statens konst\u00adr\u00e5d, Trondheim Kommune med flere.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utstillingen har mottatt st\u00f8tte fra Regionale prosjekt\u00admidler, Kunstsent\u00adrene i Norge.

Social categories such as gender and eth\u00adni\u00adcity, sexual orien\u00adtation and social class leave varying impres\u00adsions on the art\u00adworld. Under these con\u00additions Idun Baltzersen began to trace how a Norwe\u00adgian-born identity can affect artistic choices. The sea <\/em>as a physi\u00adcal and mythi\u00adcal pheno\u00admenon became a unifying refe\u00adrence for her. Through a long tradi\u00adtion of image-making, our compre\u00adhension of the sea encom\u00adpasses everything from ideali\u00adsa\u00adtion to fear induce\u00adment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a similar way, in the wood\u00adcuts titled Baderne <\/em>(The Bathers<\/em>), Baltzersen leaves the bathing figures sus\u00adpended between an appa\u00adrent dis\u00adcom\u00adfort and a deli\u00adberate pose. She visualizes the figures as partially sub\u00admerged in water or standing ashore on a collage-like beach environ\u00adment. Their body language signals an ambi\u00adva\u00adlence in the en\u00adcoun\u00adter with the uncon\u00adtrol\u00adlable nature. As a sub\u00adlime power, the unsett\u00adling forces of the sea are allowed to play out as undu\u00adlating, rushing waves close by the some\u00adwhat hesi\u00adtant bathers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In prepa\u00adration for the exhi\u00adbition Baderne<\/em> in the Skylight space, Baltzersen delved into the Swedish artist Eug\u00e8ne Jansson’s images of bathers. The painting Flottans badhus <\/em>(1907) <\/em>parti\u00adcularly set the tone. It hangs in the Munch Room at the Thiel Gallery in Stock\u00adholm. Jansson lived at the same time as Edvard Munch, but his figures appear far more ideal\u00adistic. Baltzersen is interested in how the nar\u00adrative of Flottans badhus <\/em>has shifted from being an ideal\u00adization of male bodies to being one of desire. Other works of signi\u00adfi\u00adcant inspi\u00adration for Baderne<\/em>, are Munch’s motifs of under\u00adwater swimmers. Anders Zorn’s popular etchings of nude females in the archi\u00adpelago of Stock\u00adholm are also of rele\u00advance. Baltzersen’s depic\u00adted figures are taken from archive photos of swim\u00adming teams and bathers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition consists of richly colored wood\u00adcuts placed in an archi\u00adtec\u00adtonic spiral. The viewer is invited in among these frame-mounted, head-height wood\u00adcuts printed on textile. A series of small black-and-white wood\u00adcuts with details high\u00adligh\u00adted in red is dis\u00adplayed on the wall behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baltzersen’s work is charac\u00adterized by experi\u00admenting with various printing tech\u00adni\u00adques, res\u00adpec\u00adtively wood\u00adcut and assem\u00adblage on paper, textile, and wood. By using changing pers\u00adpec\u00adtives and monu\u00admen\u00adtal images, she chal\u00adlenges the viewer’s gaze and the physi\u00adcal integrity of the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Idun Baltzersen (b. 1987, Trondheim) has studied at the Art aca\u00addemy in Bergen and Konst\u00adfack in Stock\u00adholm, where she has lived since 2011. Baltzersen has exhibited in several galleries and museums, the first time in Kunstner\u00adforbundet in 2015 when her graphic works and artist books were shown in a duo exhibition with Guttorm Gut\u00adtorms\u00adgaard. Her work is repre\u00adsented in the Moderna Museet, Magasin III Museum for Contem\u00adporary Art, G\u00f6teborgs konst\u00admuseum, Uppsala konst\u00admuseum and Hauge\u00adsund Billed\u00adgalleri. Her work has been acquired by St. Olavs Hospital, the Norwegian Art Council, Trond\u00adheim Munici\u00adpality, among others.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition has received support from Regional project funds, Kunst\u00adsentrene i Norge (The Art Centers in Norway).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
