OBJEKTIV EDITIONS: BOOKS, PRINTS AND VIDEOTAPE POP UP  PARIS 23-27 MAY How We Work For our latest issue, A Criticism Review, we invited a group of writers and critics to reflect on current trends and desired changes in the writing community, considering new ideas about how to work.  More and more journals have closed or moved online in the past years and are commissioning fewer texts.

Eline Mugaas

May 06, 2022 11:00 - 36 minutes - 25.4 MB

A conversation with Eline Mugaas on her current exhibition In Adjoining Rooms at Galleri Riis.  Images: link. These objects are a distillation of light from photographs.

Making Worlds by Morten Andenæs looks at the works of Lucas Blalock, Else Marie Hagen, Torbjørn Rødland and Tom Sandberg. Not content simply to describe the wo...
