The exhibition space became a laboratory\u2014a site for intense exploration, where we assembled the paintings into a unified installation. The works were restructured and recontextualized, driven by a search for connections, contrasts, and unexpected relationships. <\/p>\n
The project challenged notions of authorship, control, and habitual working methods. What happens when you relinquish authority over your own context? When your work must be viewed in relation to another artist\u2019s visual language and rhythm? How do new meanings emerge through unpredictable encounters between images? <\/p>\n
The result was an installation that appeared as a singular whole\u2014a total work that neither of us could have envisioned beforehand. Fifty-two<\/em> became more than an exhibition; it was a live negotiation between two practices, two perspectives, and 52 paintings.<\/p>\n Photo: P\u00e5l Hoff, Vigdis Fjellheim, Torunn Skjelland<\/em><\/p>\n\n \n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n \n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n \n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n \n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n \n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n \n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n \n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.torunnskjelland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/01_oppstart-web.jpg\")
