LNM and PRAKSIS present project works produced in relation to the two organisations’ residency collaboration, Painting Project: Out Looking Inwards.
PRAKSIS’s 13th residency, Painting Project: Out Looking Inwards brings together ten artists from Norway and around the world to explore questions surrounding contemporary painting and its possible futures.
You are invited to Galleri LNM between 12.00 and 16.00 this Saturday 27th April, during which time participants in Painting Project: Out Looking Inwards will install, display and take down work for open viewing and discussion.
The residents are: Robert Bordo (CA), Robert Holyhead (UK), Tina Kryhlmann (NO), Patrick McElnea (US), Matthew Musgrave (UK), Sarah Pettitt (UK), Hanneline Rogeberg (NO), Hanna Sjöstrand (SE), Michele Tocca (IT), and Piya Wanthiang (TH/BE).

PRAKSIS and LNM offer thanks to OCA (Office for Contemporary Art Norway) for allowing the use of their apartment at Ekely – enabling the participation of an increased number of international residents.
Robert Holyhead in conversation about his work and influences.
Artist Robert Rauschenberg’s radical objective was to operate “in the gap between art and life”. His work crossed boundaries and recent major retrospectives in London, New York and San Francisco confirm that, 11 years after his death in 2008, this remorselessly innovative figure remains a strong creative influence, especially on young artists. But before his fame became global, one of Rauschenberg's first exhibitions took place in Florence in 1953—and it culminated in a gesture that has become an art legend. British writer and art historian Martin Holman tells the story.
The participants in PRAKSIS’s thirteenth residency, Painting Project: Out Looking Inwards, invite you to an open conversation probing key issues in painting today.
Journey and exploration have been significant themes in the paintings of New York based artist Robert Bordo, and so as he travels to Norway for the first time, PRAKSIS and LNM find it fitting to present an introduction to his practice.
Residents participating in Painting Project give a short presentation of their practice before opening up for questions and discussion.
