Photographs. Kyllingmarks analogue experiments evoke cosmic structures both large and small.
This monograph focuses on the abstracted figural stone sculptures of Norwegian sculptor Nico Widerberg (born 1960), which resemble ancient fragments of neolithic objects. The book provides a photographic survey of his works and studio by photographer Trygve Indrelid.
Mirage is an installation by Norwegian artist Marianne Heier (born 1969), consisting of ten identical drinking-water wells equipped with hand pumps and basins. One of the wells is drilled into a mountain in Norway, and nine more are located in Malawi, Africa.
"Den" is a cave installation by Mark Dion (born 1961) in the mountains of Norway. Dion installed a sleeping model bear on top of a pile of manmade detritus, allegorically posing the question of whether man or animal dominates the world."
Danish teacher, astrophysicist and amateur photographer Sophus Tromholt (1851-96) is mainly remembered today for his pioneering study of the Northern Lights--and for his striking portraits of the Sámi people in and around Kautokeino, Norway. Known to the locals of Kautokeino as "Násteolmmái," "the Starman," Tromholt abandoned his early attempts to photograph the aurora and instead produced a stunning photographic portfolio including landscape photographs, documentation of traditional Sámi dwellings and objects, and around 50 portraits of Sámi individuals. The portfolio was published in 1883. His photographic archive, held at the University of Bergen Library's Picture Collection, became part of UNESCO's Memory of the World Register in 2013. This is the first publication devoted solely to Tromholt and his photographic heritage.
Oslo's Fornebuporten business and residential district boasts its own sculpture park, Imprints, featuring ceramic works by the Norwegian artist and musician Magne Furuholmen (born 1962).Furuholmen has created totemic sculptures of glazed and unglazed ceramic on an incredible scale--the largest is taller than 19 feet high--and arranged them around the site, placing some in freestanding positions and installing some in granite pools. Playing with and against the sleek modern architecture of the surrounding Fornebuporten complex, the artist chose self-consciously archaic forms (like amphorae, columns and sarcophagi) and traditional materials and techniques in developing "Imprints." The sculptures are covered with words, letters and shapes punched or pushed directly into the material surfaces. Imprints documents this amazing project.
