Embracing the New Year with a spirit of optimism and hopeful anticipation, Local Project is excited to present Transcendence, a group exhibition of drawings, photographs, paintings, sculptures, and video installations. Surpassing the obscurity and challenges of the present time, we explore how a sense of transcendence, sublimation, and hope is found through the artistic practice and how artists can act as beacons of light and optimism for the entire community.

ON ETERNITIES TABLETS: ANNE KATRINE SENSTAD

CURATED BY SARAH WALKO

NOVEMBER.24 – FEBRUARY.28.2021

View the online exhibition at Open Art Advisory.

This exhibition by Norwegian artist Anne Katrine Senstad brings together three bodies of work based on light, space and perception, and investigate horizons of interior and exterior landscapes. The title of the exhibition is from Norwegian poet and writer Hans Børli who, in addition to writing, survived as a prisoner of war in a camp in Norway during World War II, worked as a teacher and a woodsman all of his life. Senstad recently found herself revisiting his works in the face of our current crisis, drawing on his poems that also traverse eternity, nature and the human condition during crisis.
