Andrea Grundt Johns - Forest Glass & Fern Crystals
Forest Glass
& Fern Crystals
Andrea Grundt
Johns
Opening August 31st
18:00-20:00
Oslo Prosjektrom,
Platous gate 18
If we reduce a fern* to ashes, which we dissolve in
pure water, then allow the water to evaporate, we obtain lovely crystals that
have the form of a fern frond.
Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space
The great daydreamer is first bewildered by nature, then bewitched by
his own dreams – man’s fantasy can easily surpass nature’s, Gaston Bachelard writes in The Poetics of Space.
He speaks of a time long before our scientific world, a time when the borders
between scientific theories and vast daydreams were blurred.
How does nature bewilder and
bewitch the daydreamer of today? Are we still able to dream of fern ash turning
into crystals? Forest Glass & Fern Crystals is a re-enactment and investigation of the
fern's mystical past and our relation to nature in today’s world, through a
camera-less and sculptural photography.
Andrea Grundt
Johns (b. 1989, Oslo) holds a BFA in
Photography from Akademin Valand in 2015. Johns explores tactile and
phenomenological approaches to photography. Through this she seeks to disrupt a
visually saturated everyday and question the traditional understanding of
photography. As a result, her works often moves towards the empty, believing
emptiness to be full of potential. Trying to trigger the viewer’s imagination
and attention, she searches for new ways of seeing.
Her practice also
includes several collaborations and artist run publishing and exhibition
projects.

PATHOS WORK LENA KATRINE & HEIDI-ANETT
Opening: May 18th, 6pm
 |
| Monument Untitled |
’Flyttar tilbake kvar eg studerte før, når eg ikkje lenger er i
det dårlege forholdet får eg tid til å satse enda meir på kunsten, og det
kunstnariske samarbeidet eg har saman med veninna mi som framleis bur der.
Eksen min lika aldri at me jobba saman, han tykte det var usjølvstendig. Eg
prøvde å forklare han at det krevjar mykje av ein å klare å arbeide saman som
to, det er lett å vera egoistisk og åleine, men å samarbeide og dele, det er
stort, og større enn ein sjølv.’
Lena Katrine & Heidi-Anett is an
artist duo formed in 2009, which consists of Heidi-Anett Haugen and Lena
Katrine Johansen. The duo explores the symbiotic and parallel conditions of
being two artists behind one artistic expression. They graduated together from
Trondheim Art Academy in 2013.
Welcome to the opening Thursday, May
18th, 6pm
Opening hours:
Thursday 3-7pm
