She Will’s forth exhibition brings together five artists working with a sculptural practice that relates to contemporary realism in a material-based way. The works on display are process-oriented with a close attention to craftsmanship.

 

 

The title of the exhibition is borrowed from the book Being Ecological by Timothy Morton, in which he writes: «If everything exists in the same way, that means that wholes exist in the same way as their parts, which means that there are always more parts than there is a whole—which means that the whole is always less than the sum of its parts».

 

 

In the exhibition, the sculptures and their materiality are aligned with the existing fixtures and fittings in the car wash. This idea, inspired by object-orientated ontology, gives each element equality, and can be transferred to contexts such as materiality, locality, and vulnerability. In the text “Unbroken Return,” Ingrid Halland reflects on the title and theme of the exhibition.

ABOUT SHE WILL

She Will is a temporary art space and studio in a partially closed down petrol station in central Ski. This is run by Maren Dagny Juell and Liv Tandrevold Eriksen. The car Wash is used as a gallery where most of the interior and structure is retained as a framework.

 

Ski is only 22 minutes from Oslo Central Station by train and is on the same train line as Moss and can therefore be combined with a trip to Momentum.

She Will is just a minute's walk from the station, parking is easily accessible and the premises are wheelchair friendly.

 

The exhibition is funded by Norsk Kulturråd and Ski Kommune.
