About

.Rita Nettelstad aktualiserar och problematiserar frågor om perception och synens dominans och maktställning till övriga sinnen. Hon utforskar tvärvetenskapliga ingångar och samarbeten. Genom medium som film, installation och performance undersöker hon vad relationen mellan figurativ och ab- strakt konst kan vara. Storleken på verken varierar från stora projiceringar till bildskärmarnas mindre värld, där de tillsammans med objekt, teckning och text skapar stämningar som gör mediaöverföringen till ett verk i sig. Hennes visuella språk pendlar mellan det personliga och konst- och idéhistoriska referenser. Med teman som seendets gränser, center och periferi undersöker och översätter hon teoretiska ingångar till bildlandskap.

.Rita Nettelstad raises and problematizes questions about perception and the dominance of sight. She explore interdisciplinary possibilities and collaborations. Mediums such as moving images, installation and performance are interwoven in an evolving investigation of the relationship between figurative and abstract art. The scale vary from large projections to small intimate screens, together with objects, drawings, and text the mediation becomes an art piece in itself. Her visual language oscillates between the personal, philosophical and art historical references.
