The works are new, previously unseen or have been shown in other contexts. The exhibition runs through May 2, but may change over time. For the time being, we have the gallery open by appointment only. Please come and visit us if you have the possibility. Email or call us (+46 8 660 43 53 or +46 708 106 906) to make an appointment.

Never Even
Hosted by 3:e Våningen, Jan 31 — Feb 24, 2019

Curated by Alina Vergnano and Mattia Lullini, co—founders of the gallery and public art endeavour Nevven, for the historical Gothenburg’s dance and art venue 3:e Våningen — Never Even features six artists, from six different countries, working with six diverse and uniquely strong artistic languages, in what wants to be the first instalment of a program of group exhibitions.

From press release:
Idun Baltzersen (born 1987) works with large woodcuts where the blocks are integrated into magnificent installations with drawings, graphics and textiles. She works figuratively with different techniques, mainly woodcut, dry point, linocut and drawing. Her themes often concern the lives of young women and their relationship with themselves and the outside world. As a viewer, one is overwhelmed by how the powerful artworks contrast the tender thematic.

From Press Release:

Opens June 7th, 2018.

As a part of the summer program for 2018 the art department will expand the gallery to include the outside area surrounding Artipelag.

Girls and Horses

It is actually quite annoying to work with printmaking because it constantly leads to pain in my wrists. But contrary to when I draw, it is the technique that controls me (at least part of the time), and this control results in a dialogue with the material. I believe this interaction has a nice power balance. The prints and drawings are often sewn and glued on top of each other.

From Pressrelease (in Swedish only):

We are pleased to present new works by Idun Baltzersen at this year’s edition of Market Art Fair. Idun Baltzersen is born 1987 in Trondheim, Norway. After completing her studies at Konstfack - University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in 2014 she now lives and works in Stockholm. She works with drawing and a wide range of different printing techniques, on paper, fabric and on wood. In our stand at Market Art Fair (#23) we will present a large-scale textile collage made from woodcuts as well as smaller detailed drypoint collages on paper and a painted woodcut relief.

We are pleased to announce the exhibition Övergångsriter by Idun Baltzersen. She is the receipient of the Bernadotte Grant 2016 from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. The grant is a combined one-year studio and works grand for continuing artistic development and specialisation.

Participating artists:
Idun Baltzersen and Anna Ihle

From Press Release (Norwegian only):

Gjennom tidskrevende arbeid, utfører vi motstand ved å ta kontroll over vår egen arbeidsdag: det er fint å svette, men det skal være på våre premisser.

We have the pleasure to present Spotlight #2, a short group exhibition where we introduce current works by a selection of the gallery artists. We would also like to take this opportunity to welcome two new artists to the gallery; Bella Rune and Idun Baltzersen.
