The Stenersen Museum is proud to present Hedevig Anker's first solo exhibition at the museum. Since her debut at the Autumn Exhibition in 1998, she has established herself as one of the leading contemporary artists in Norway. The exhibition shows some of the main aspects of her development as an artist the last decade.
Hedevig Anker's motives are taken partly from the private and partly from the puplic sphare, but the artist has not a documentary approach. Her spesific use of abstraction gives the pictures a subjective attitude and an abstract character.

Photography
Roger Ballen was born in New York City, New York, USA in 1950. He has lived in Johannesburg South Africa since the 1970s. Beginning by documenting the small dorps or villages of rural South Africa, Ballen’s photography moved on in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s to their inhabitants; through the late 1990’s Ballen’s work progressed. By the mid 1990’s his subjects began to act where previously his pictures, however troubling, fell firmly into the category of documentary photography, his work then moved into the realms of fiction. |
