Synopsis:
For more than fifty years Elisabeth Haarr has been one of the most significant artists in Norway. From early experimentation with tapestry as modern visual art in the 1960s to political works with an activist message in the 1970s, and later sculptural installations of rugs, banners, figures, and drapes, Haarr's oeuvre has significantly contributed to the consideration of textiles as a material in contemporary art. Today, her work continues to address topics such as feminism, anti-fascism, and environmental protection, and is as relevant as it was forty years ago. This richly illustrated publication includes new texts by artist Are Blytt, curator Elisabeth Byre, poet, playwright, and novelist Cecilie Loveid, and curator Steinar Sekkingstad, and a conversation between Elisabeth Haarr and artist Eline Mugaas.
About the Author: Steinar Sekkingstad is an art historian, writer, and curator at Bergen Kunsthall. He has been a member of the expert committee for visual arts at Arts Council Norway, and was one of the founders of the sound art gallery Lydgalleriet in Bergen. He cofounded Bergen Kunsthall's concert series Utmark, which has been running continuously since 2008. He has edited a number of publications and written about contemporary art for magazines, publications, and exhibition catalogues.
Axel Wieder is a curator, writer, and director of Bergen Kunsthall. He has been director of Index--the Swedish Contemporary Art Foundation in Stockholm, where he organized solo exhibitions with Simone Forti, Stephen Willats, Sidesel Meineche Hansen, Willem de Rooij, and Anna Boghiguian, and a collaborative project by John Skoog and Emanuel Röhss.
