Perimeter. Videoinstallation. 130x200 cm approx. Mixed media. Installation view.
"The Brain needs not only perceptual input but perceptual change, and the absence of change may cause not only lapses of arousal and attention but perceptual aberrations as well. Whether darkness and solitude is sought out by holy men in caves or forced upon prisoners in lightless dungeons, the deprivation of normal visual input can stimulate the inner eye instead producing dreams, vivid imagining or hallucinations"
Oliver Sacks, HallucinationsPerimeter is a video about fields of perception which are predisposed in various ways; drugs, games or visualization with intended power. Through free association, grunge inspired music, dark corners and unsolvable puzzles I want to approach a visual perimeter. I imagine this to be border that marks a perception of visual field, a space between real and imaginary.
For Ås Kunstforening I am exhibiting Perimeter as a video installation where the film set is recreated in the gallery. I am also showing new digital prints created in a program called Substance Designer. This program generates textures and images for use in visualization for games and 3D building. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________

A shadow is a reverse projection of an object…
Liv Tandrevold Eriksen, Ingrid Toogood Hovland and Maren Juell Kristensen have worked together with the dancers and choreographers Therese Markus and Kristianne Mo. The result is a one night event that involves an object, projections and people.
.....also, if the object is moving, the shadow cast by the object will
project an image with dimensions (length) expanding proportionally
faster than the object's own rate of movement. The increase of size
and movement is also true if the distance between the object of
interference and the light source are closer. This, however, does not
mean the shadow may move faster than light, even when projected at
vast distances, such as light years...Thanks to students from Einar Graum Kunstfagskole who has generously lent us their shadows.

"NATURAL" at One Night Only
NATURAL is centered around a passage by the British romantic poet Samuel T. Coleridge where he first defines the term “Suspension of disbelief”. This is a common phrase used in relation to works of fiction; how we lay aside our doubts regarding the validation of presented reality to be involved in a narrative.

"LUCID DREAMING"
Welcome to the opening of the show 'Lucid Dreaming' friday 21st of October 2011. It is a groupshow with Liv Tandrevold Eriksen and Ingrid Toogood Hovland at Haugesund Billedgalleri, Norway.
I am exhibiting three new video installations where I focus on perception and psychological presence in the physical world and visual culture. The exhibition is supported by the Norwegian Arts Council.

MAREN JUELL KRISTENSEN, LIV TANDREVOLD ERIKSEN OG INGRID TOOGOOD HOVLAND
Lucid dreaming
21. oktober – 13. november
Åpning fredag 21. oktober kl.18Utstillingen Lucid Dreaming er en gruppeutstilling av Maren Juell Kristensen, Liv Tandrevold Eriksen og Ingrid Toogood Hovland. Felles for deres kunst er interessen for psykologiske aspekt ved drøm og virkelighet, og persepsjon i grenselandet mellom virkelighet og fantasi. Tilnærmingen og materialvalget spenner fra tegning, maleri til installasjon og video, men tangeringspunktene og fellesnevnere gir plass til dialoger kunstnerne synes det er spennende å jobbe med. De har tidligere stilt ut sammen i Stavanger Kunstforening.
Maren Juell Kristensen (f.1976) viser tre nye videoarbeider. Hun har i mange år jobbet med videoinstallasjoner hvor tvil og forventning er i fokus. Dette er satt i relasjon til massemedia, film og personlighetsutvikling. Med de tre nye arbeidene; «Guided Imagery», «Fairy Tale» og «RUN» videreutvikler hun dette med hovedvekt på indre og ytre virkelighet, identitet og persepsjon. Satt mot et bakteppe av natur som ‘det virkelige`, naturlige og opprinnelige, bruker Maren tekstbasert narrasjon og referanser til film og terapeutiske behandlinger til å stille spørsmål ved individets egen opplevde virkelighet. I neuroscience har det blitt bevist at persepsjon påvirkes av følelser, minner og musikk, det samme gjelder for romlig forståelse. Videoene er installert for å passe inn i utstillingen som helhet men også med objekter/strukturer foran skjermene som inviterer til navigasjon og fungerer som fysiske inngangsporter til videoene.
Liv Tandrevold Eriksens (f.1976) arbeider tar utgangspunkt i situasjoner hvor man befinner seg i mellomsjiktet mellom myter og fakta, drøm og virkelighet. Gjennom tegning prøver hun å gjenskape det mentale rom som oppstår i dette skjæringspunktet. Søvnforstyrrelser som søvnparalyse og søvngjengeri er eksempler på slike tilstander. Man er bevisst at man drømmer men er bundet til drømmen enten ved paralyse eller ved at kroppen ”lever” i drømmen. Tandrevold Eriksen viser tegninger og animasjoner.
Ingrid Toogood Hovland (f.1976) viser maleri på lerret og collageobjekter – billedelementer satt sammen til tredimensjonal form. Verkene befinner seg i skjæringspunktet mellom maleri og installasjon, mellom todimensjonal og tredimensjonal form. En fortelling kan ligge til grunn for arbeidene, men Toogood Hovlands verk underkaster seg ikke narrativet som tradisjonell illustrasjon. Det er heller snakk om en oppløsning av fortellingen i fragmenter og enkeltdeler. Fragmenter som knyttes sammen i scener med karakter av surrealistiske drømmebilder, og hvor former og motiver glir mellom maleriets og betrakterens rom.
Utstillingen er støttet av Norsk kulturråd.

"THE DOWNARD-FACING DOG"
Welcome to my solo exhibition opening on the 29th of May at Akershus Kunstnersenter, Lillestrøm, Norway.
Akershus Kunstsenter ønsker velkommen til tre nye utstillinger fordelt på to etasjer.
“FEAR SOMETHING”
Charlotte Thiis-Evensen
Ann Cathrin November Høibo
Thora Dolven Balke.
“THE DOWNWARD-FACING DOG”
Maren Juell Kristensen
“GRÅTONESKALA”
Kristine Dragland
Åpning lørdag 28. mai kl. 13.00. Performance ved Ingvild Langgård og Ingri Fiksdal kl. 13.30
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mer info følger;
“Fear something” Charlotte Thiis-Evensen, Ann Cathrin November Høibo og Thora Dolven Balke.
I installasjon, lydverk og video vil kunstnerne vise verk med frykt som et felles tematisk utgangspunkt. Utstillingens tittel Fear something spiller på det udefinerbare i frykten, at det ofte kan være uklart hva det er man frykter.
Kunstnerne vil vise selvstendige enkeltverk som samles i det tematiske fellesskapet. Frykt kan gripes fra mange sider, men vil i sitt innerste vesen gjenspeile frykten for å dø. Med et så alvorstungt utgangspunkt finnes det likevel anstrøk av absurd komikk i utstillingen. Kunstnernes samarbeid har kommet til gjennom en felles interesse for det emosjonelle i kunsten og flere tidligere enkeltverk av kunstnerne har skapt virkningsfulle, tidvis klaustrofobiske rom, som skaper en udefinerbar opplevelse av frykt eller uro i betrakteren. Andre av kunstnernes tidligere verk innehar en underliggende, ulmende uro, som et hviskende memento mori.
Charlotte Thiis-Evensen er utdannet fra Statens kunstakademi i Oslo og har hatt flere separatutstillinger, blant annet på Kunstnernes Hus i Oslo i 2008. Thiis-Evensen vil vise videoverket Min irriterte nabo der frykt for epidemier er sentralt.
Thora Dolven Balke har studert kunst og fotografi i København, Oslo og Bergen. Dolven Balke har deltatt på en rekke gruppeutstillinger, bl. a Veneziabiennalen i 2009, og på Astrup Fearnley-museet under utstillingen “Lights On” . Dolven Balke vil presentere et helt nytt video og lydarbeid for utstillingen.
Ann Cathrin November Høibo er utdannet ved Kunstakademiet og Kunsthøyskolen i Oslo. Hun deltok blant annet på utstillingen ”Alone in the dark” på Kunstnerforbundet i 2008. Hun vil jobbe frem en stedsrelatert installasjon for utstillingen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Downward-facing Dog Maren Juell Kristensen
Gråtoneskala Kristine Dragland.
Begge utstillerne reflekterer rundt forskjellige strategier for å finne meningsfulle måter å være i verden på. Video er det sentrale medium for begge.
Maren Juell Kristensen (1976) har etter fullførelsen av sin mastergrad ved Chelsea College of Art (London) i 2004 blant annet deltatt på ’LIGHTS ON -norsk samtidskunst’ (09) ved Astrup Fearnley og Liverpool Biennalen 2008. Hun deltok også på “Predawn Occultation” i 2009 i Stavanger Kunstforening.
Kristine Dragland (f. 1983) har blant annet deltatt på utstillingen 100 år på Kunstnerforbundet i Oslo (2009) og på flere utstillinger i Brisbane, Australia. Hun er utdannet ved Statens Kunstakademi i Oslo.
Juell Kristensens tittel The Downward-facing Dog refererer til en klassisk Yoga posisjon, som i tillegg til å styrke armer ben og rygg ifølge yogalitteraturen også skal hjelpe mot stress, depresjon og roe ned hjernen. Arbeidene produsert for denne utstillingen omfatter spesifikke fysiske bevegelser, trening og dans, som f eks yoga. Felles for dem er at øvelsene har et overordnet holistisk fundament der fokuset er rettet mot treningen av sjelen/ånden og det mentale.
Juell Kristensen jobber med video både som et historiefortellende element og som en fysisk tilstedeværelse av lys. Dramaturgiske grep i monteringen av installasjonene er vesentlig. Arbeidene dveler ved den gjentakende repeterende øvelsen og de symboler, fysiske begrensninger og metoder som hver praksis gir.
Der Juell Kristensen tar utgangspunkt i det som skal bygge opp sjel, sinn og kropp retter Kristine Dragland blikket mot mørkere sider ved det menneskelige.
I sine videoer og tegninger tematiserer Dragland motstridende følelser i mennesket; det som forventes av en og dragninger mot det mørke og egoistiske i en selv. Dette representeres hos Dragland i hennes to hovedtemaer, nemlig skygger og hus. Her foregår blant annet en dialog og lek med skyggen, og en kaotisk kamp mot skyggen. I litteraturen og psykologien finnes utallige eksempler på en dualisme mellom det mørke og det lyse. Hos Dragland synes det som om de to motpolene får eksistere side om side. I tegningene avbilder Dragland et emosjonelt univers der ting hverken er svart eller hvitt men finnes i alle gråtonene i mellom.

PREDAWN OCCULTATION
Maren Juell Kristensen, Liv Tandrevold Eriksen and Ingrid Toogood Hovland ‘s new exhibition ”Predawn Occultation” opens Thursday the 8th of October in Stavanger Kunstforening.
The exhibition consists of painting, drawing, video and installation. A common theme is an interest in the magical and supernatural. It is the first time these three artist exhibit together.
Occultation is a phenomenon that arises when one object is hidden by another, an eclipse. In astronomy it is used to describe a solar or lunar eclipse, but the most common use of the word is the fairly frequent passages of the moon in front of a star. When the moon passes between the sun and the earth it casts a shadow on the earth’s surface and partially eclipses the earth. Eclipses and occultation’s have always been shrouded in mystery and myths. In many cultures it is believed that ‘evil’ forces are more powerful during an solar eclipse, and the phenomenon is connected to both judgment day and natural disasters. In Norse mythology it is believed that the wolves Skoll and Hati hunted the sun and moon. When they finally succeed in catching them an eternal darkness would shroud the earth. The Chinese and the Native Americans had similar tales of dragons and dead spirits that swallowed the sun.
Maren Juell Kristensen (born 1976), lives and work in Oslo, Norway. Maren has had several solo shows and participated in group exhibitions, amongst others “Lights on” at The Astrup Fearnley MoMa and Liverpool Biennial in 2008.
Liv Tandrevold Eriksen (born 1976), lives and work in Oslo, Norway. Liv’s work has been exhibited in several solo , group shows and public commissions. She is in the collection of both The Swedish and the Norwegian Arts council. Liv’s is opening a solo show at Kunstnerforbundet in Oslo this autumn.
Ingrid Toogood Hovland (born 1976), lives and works in Stavanger, Norway. Ingrid was selected “Stavanger artist of the year” by Stavanger city council. This autumn she is exhibiting in a solo show at Artconnextion in France and she is the chairman of the jury of the annual Norwegian Autumn exhibition.30-11-2008-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am pleased to announce that my video "7/7" is included in PAM Nordic Part 1 at Utsikten Kunstnersenter in Kvinesdal, Norway.

From the program:
“Still / Crash / Flow”
Curated by Torill Haugen and Raphaele Shirley
Featured artists: Anne Katrine Sensland, Arne Borgan, Beate Pettersen, Birger Åseson Storås, Bjørn E. Pettersen, Bjørn Erik Haugen, Endre Tveitan, Frithof Hoel, Gjert Rognli, Helle Lorenzen, Hilde Honerud, Jan Hakon Erichsen, Janne Talstad, Johanna Lecklin, Julie Lillelien Porter, Kaja H. Leijon, Lene Baadsvig Ørmen, Maren Juell Kristensen, Margarida Pavida, Oda Brooch, Paulo Chavarría, Ulf Kristiansen, Åslaug Krokann Berg“Still / Crash / Flow” presents a cross section of Nordic video art today. Exploring the selected works through the lens of Perpetual Art Machine’s philosophy, the individual pieces are organized according to folksonomies and by juxtaposition in time following the diverse ideas presented in each piece. Spanning various types of works, from abstract to cinematic, from absurd to critical, from performative to meditative this selection celebrates an exceptional group of artists whose unique perspective and approach to video art form a new voice within contemporary art today.
“Inside / Outside”
Curated by Iris Piers
Featuring artists: Linda Persson, Anne Senstad, Etta Säfve, Henriette Hellstern_Kjøller and Jorunn Myklebust Syversen
Linda Persson, Anne Senstad, Etta Säfve, Henriette Hellstern_Kjøller and Jorunn Myklebust Syversen are five young video artists with roots in Scandinavia.Each in their own way, their curious works hold a balance between folkloric and contemporary themes, some contorted, some timid, others abstract and eager to put an imprint on the space that surrounds us. The exchange between interior and exterior defines the mindset of this selection; whether in a fictional cardboard city, a space defined by light or the in_and outside of our own mind and body, they investigate and unfold what could be hidden just beneath the surface.

Welcome to opening of my three screen video projection 'We Walked Miles For You' at Atlelier Nord, Lakkegata 55D, Oslo, Norway. Thursday 21 of April 19:00.
We Walked Miles For You is a three screen video projection of people walking in traditional parades ,
the juxtaposition and selective angle of view carries an ambivalence towards rituals, meaning and belonging.
Thanks to all that helped me by walking with costumes and torches and the techincal equipment.

Although the main exhibition is over by the time I got this website up and running I wish to inculde the invite as the videoscreening 'Bring a Friend' I am participating in is supposed to travel to Oslo and Bergen in Norway.
