Festival artist Høstscena 2022
Thrilled to be the festival artist at Høstscena in Ålesund. Big, big. Høstscena is an annual arts- and performance festival in Ålesund that takes place during the last week of September. Link to Høstscena website . As the festival artist I am responsible for the opening of the festival in Parken kulturhus, Foajeen on the 28th of September. My work is a large scaled exhibition of painted mobile installations suspended from the ceiling, a booth for Penance and a Boxing match. The theme for the festival is The work of hands, and my work relates directly to this. I have chosen the title Prophecy for my work. You can read more about all this here.The work is documented by video here

The way I see it
After 20 years as an artist I look back over my shoulder through a retrospective exhibition showing work from my first solo-show in 2001 untill today. I have also added some works from my years as a an art student (1990 - 1997). All though it is intersting for me to se all this work together I am really doing this to celebrate my 50 years on the planet. The exhibition is set up on the island where I grew up and where I now live and have my beautiful studio. For me this is also a way to let my fellow islanders to get to know my work more in depth. It is the attempt to become a prophet in my own land.
You can see the whole exhibition in this lovely film made by my talented son Mateo Røssevold Christensen.
