ANDREAS ERIKSSON Recur
May 3 - Jun 21, 2013
show nearby

May 3 - June 21, 2013
Opening reception Thursday May 2, 7-9 pm

We have the pleasure of presenting our seventh exhibition with the Swedish artist Andreas Eriksson (b. 1975). The exhibition entitled Recur consists entirely of plaster reliefs, a relatively new addition to his already extensive artistic repertoire encompassing painting, photography, sculpture and tapestries, often exhibited intermixed and with the various media assembled in friezes. The ten smaller and medium sized reliefs - all recently produced - are the result of a process in which Eriksson “paints” with acetone on slabs of styrofoam. The corrosive fluid eats away the plastic material, creating a negative relief of brush strokes. The process being only partially controlled by the artist, thus creating a wide scope for chance in the reaction of the materials; the ensuing liberating force is welcomed and cultivated in his work. When the styrofoam is cast, the white plaster relief reveal the delineations of the brush strokes appearing as undulating landscapes covered in snow, rugged and mysterious.

The creation of these works relates to other parts of his artistic output; paintings of shadows projected from the outside world on the studio wall emerge from deep inside monochrome paintings, tapestries executed by weavers using details of his paintings as the point of departure, bronze cast of molehills in the fields and of birds forfeiting their lives colliding with the mirror illusion of the large studio windows. Eriksson consistently pursues new paths in his artistic practice, invariably conceptually cogent, yet with a keen visual sensitivity.

Andreas Eriksson received a MFA from the Academy of Arts in Stockholm (1993-1998). In 2012 he participated in the exhibitions “The Imminence of Poetics”, Sao Paulo biennale and “Pink Caviar”, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk and in 2011 he represented Sweden in the Venice Biennale with a solo exhibition in the Nordic Pavilion. One man shows this year have included Recur in Bror Hjorths Hus, Uppsala, Krux in Lidköping Konsthall and Landskap (till Kjarval) at Galleri Riis Stockholm, and currently the solo exhibition Coincidental Mapping at Stephen Friedman Gallery in London. Andreas Eriksson lives and works at Kinnekulle in Västergötland, Sweden.

ARNE MALMEDAL New paintings
May 3 - Jun 21, 2013
show nearby

May 3 - June 21, 2013
Opening reception Thursday May 2nd, 7-9 pm

Galleri Riis has the pleasure of presenting our fourth exhibition with Arne Malmedal (f. 1937), consisting of seven new large-scale paintings from 2012 - 2013. In contrast to his previous exhibitions in the gallery, wherein the paintings have been serial – either due to a limited palette or to a recurring motif – the new works are more individual in their expression. Spanning from minimal colour-field paintings via expressive compositions inducing associations to natural lyricism, to mental spaces of vast illusional depth. The use of e.g. paint rollers gives these new paintings an opulent texture, yielding a tangible and vigorous presence.

Arne Malmedal was educated at the National College of Art and Design, Oslo (1956-60), and held his first solo-show in 1963. Alongside a regular exhibition activity, he has been a vital figure on the Norwegian art scene. Founder and head of the department of Graphic Art in the Academy of Fine Arts in Oslo in the 1970s, and as Administrative Director at Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo in the 1980s, where he contributed to the realization and introduction of important exhibitions and artists to the Norwegian audience. Malmedal was honored with a retrospective exhibition in the National Museum of Art (Oslo) in 2003 and stands today as a Nestor in the Norwegian artistic community. Since 2007 he has frequently exhibited in Galleri Riis.

Parallel to the exhibition in Galleri Riis, Malmedal is showing in Kunstnerforbundet (Oslo) a series of paintings from 1990-94, a group of works that initiated his ongoing engagement with monochrome painting. The opening reception in Kunstnerforbundet will take place on May 2nd 6-8 pm and the exhibition lasts until the 2nd of June.

show nearby

UKS (Unge kunstneres samfund) is delighted to present a solo exhibition by French/American
artist Antoine Catala at Lakkegata 55, Oslo. The exhibition features new work, including two large scale holograms, eight motorized images, four levitating sculptures and a print installation. The work continues the artist’s engagement with new media, the triadic relationship between language, image and object, and in this exhibition particularly, the image recognition software developed by online search engines.
Born in Toulouse, France in 1975, Antoine Catala began studying mathematics, but shifted his practice towards art after completing his degree. While a
fine arts student in London he received attention for organizing shows at a local Burger King. Since then he has partaken in several group shows in France, the US and the UK. “Image Families” is his most extensive solo presentation to present date.
Antoine Catala lives and works in New York. He has recently been selected for the Biennale de Lyon and will be showing at Art Basel: Statements with 47 Canal. Solo shows include Galerie Christine Meyer, Munich (2012); 47 Canal, New York (2012); AVA, New York (2010); 179 Canal, New York (2009); Tony Wight Gallery, Chicago (2009); Cooley Gallery, Portland (2009). A selection of recent group shows and events include Venus over Manhattah, New York (2012); Blum and Poe, Los Angeles (2012); Night Gallery,
Los Angeles (2012); Akershus Kunstsenter, Lillestrøm (2012); White Columns, New York (2011); NOMA Gallery, San Fransisco (2011) and Swiss Institute with Dan Graham and Harmony Korine, New York (2011).

show nearby

Curator of Lydgalleriet [the Sound Gallery], Jørgen Larsson, has put together an exhibition of seven new sound-based pieces. NOR13 will take the pulse of kinetic and sound-based art in Norway today, with a group exhibition that will be the gallery’s first to focus on the Norwegian scene since 2009. Seven artists based in Norway have been asked to produce new pieces considering issues tied to recycling.

The background for the exhibition is our prolonged experience with the expenditure of resources in the art world. In producing an exhibition, large amounts of material and energy are spent on transport and travel, which may seem somewhat at odds with the often outspoken environmental concerns of artists and curators. The challenge presented to the artists invited by Lydgalleriet is both artistic and practical, in that as a much as possible of the art should utilise already extant materials/objects, and that as much as possible of the construction should be carried out with recycled materials. The work of the invited artists is already in line with this perspective, focussing on found objects and reuse.

Camilla Skibrek graduated the Norwegian Acad- emy of Fine Arts in 2012 with the exhibition Licking My Way through Wood. In this project, materiality is juxtaposed with time and presence, and the artistic act is discussed in the light of meaning. In her forthcoming exhibition, Skibrek will be working in-depth with other media. Skibrek works mainly with three-dimensional objects, but occasionally employs photography, text, and per- formance.

Magnhild Opdøl Picnic with Death
Aug 17 - Sep 22, 2013 Reception: Sat Aug 17 1pm - 4pm

In the exhibition Picnic with Death, Magnhild Opdøl will show pieces inspired by the poetic aspect of death. Detailed pencil drawings, sculptural pieces made of stuffed animals and found objects are presented together with video and photo- graphs. In many of her pieces, Opdøl explores the tension between ecstatic car- nality and restrained self-torture, defined through a deliberate flourish of her hand.

Today, the right of women to vote is a matter of course. Such was not the case only 100 years ago, and several places around the world, it is far from a given right. It’s a Girl bases itself on that fact, simultane- ously raising general questions about being a woman and a human. The exhibition problematizes social constructions of gender, and comprises, inter alia, drawings, collage, video, and text pieces.

Frode Markhus
Nov 16 - Dec 15, 2013 Reception: Sat Nov 16 1pm - 4pm
show nearby

Markhus works chiefly with painting, and through a naïve, rough, and childish stroke of the brush, he questions our high expectations to precisely painting itself as something elevated. The self-contradictions and inconsistencies in his work reveal both the absurd and traditional references like portraits, landscapes, and nudes.

Gunvor Nervold Antonsen
Nov 16 - Dec 15, 2013 Reception: Sat Nov 16 1pm - 4pm
show nearby

Gunvor Nervold Antonsen works with textile montages, wooden sculpture, and painting on an experimental, intuitive, and personally grounded approach. She explores the tension between the two- and threedimensonal, between the individuality and the bulk of her pieces, between private and public experience.

This exhibition is about observation and an attempt at creating a visual cycle and spatial composition wherein themes and materiality are combined, and where all different raw materials, processes, and finished pieces are united in one joint appearance, a sort of poetry of hybridisation.

Sten Are Sandbeck
Nov 16 - Dec 15, 2013 Reception: Sat Nov 16 1pm - 4pm
show nearby

Sten Are Sandbeck works on what he calls ‘psychic exorcism’ in physical form. The basis for his work is harmless enough, an introspection that is equal parts wondering and egocentricity. However, his line has gone too deep and forces well up from the collective unconscious breaking the surface of the water with monstrous shapes. In the exhibition, these are set free. Sandbeck’s art relates to painting as a tradition and a medium, and takes it in surprising and unimagined directions.
