REGRESS, Oseana Kunst og Kultursenter - Griegsamlingen, March 11 - April 2, 2017
Curator: Evelyn Holm
“At a first glimpse, Marit Victoria Wulff Andreassen’s excellent and skillfully executed drawings seem like pure beauty with fabulating lines winding their way as ornaments on the surface. This impression gets disturbed by further inspection; all is not as it should be, and definitely not as it uses to be. Body parts connect organically to plants, entrails or body orifices appear in unexpected places and gender identities are blurred. At the same time seductive and provocative, her works are often interpreted in a gender political context; but if the aesthetic is feminine or feminist remains unresolved. This unclarity might not be an opposition at all. Rather it is the result of a raw and direct experience coming from within, hiding in plain sight.
Wulff Andreassen graduated from the Bergen Academy of Art and Design in 2003, and she has since then participated in a row of exhibitions in Norway and abroad. She has done several public projects, for the Bergen University among others, and her works have been purchased by Haugesund Art Association, Stavanger Art Museum, The National Museum and others”.
