Kennth Blom -- Norwegian Artist at Jason McCoy Gallery in New York
Life
Born in 1967 in Roskilde, Denmark, Kenneth Blom moved to Norway as a child. He studied at the Statens Kunstakademi in Oslo (1990–1994), as well as at the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts (1994–1995). He has shown extensively in Europe, including as a featured artist at Sotheby's New Bond Street in London, at the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter in Norway, Pékin Fine Arts in Beijing/Hong Kong and regularly at Galleri Haaken in Oslo. Blom currently lives and produces art in Oslo.
Work
Blom's paintings address the relationships between figure and industrial environment. His spaces are typically rendered to speak of vast empty spaces, and his figures are often placed sparsely. Though architectural structure is clearly an important part of Blom's work, they are rendered often with gestural brushstrokes and vivid color, and his figures are depicted with the same blend of vaguery and precision. These elements combine to create psychologically independent, solitary worlds
Torbjørn Rødland Interview: A Different Type of Sensibility
“Of course, this is shallow material, but can I find something of value there?” Meet the Norwegian photographer Torbjørn Rødland, whose photos transcend and defamiliarize their seemingly ordinary motifs.
“My starting point was this dialogue with popular imagery.” When Rødland took an interested in the American ‘The Pictures Generation’ (including photographers such as Cindy Sherman and Jeff Wall), whose works were united by the appropriation of images from mass media, he wanted to build on this tradition while adding layers that he felt were missing. An example of this was his series of photographs featuring himself carrying plastic bags from a grocery chain in the forest, ‘In a Norwegian Landscape’ (1993): “Moving into the forest was also a move away from the type of archive work or critical appropriation work of ‘The Pictures Generation’.” In continuation of this, Rødland argues that as we’re constantly confronted with popular, meaningless iconography from e.g. advertising, artists have to figure out whether to ignore it or somehow take it on.
Rødland likes to use dichotomies and thus prefers working with people who are in clear contrast to each other – e.g. an old person’s hands touching the face of a young person: “You can see the hands as being either violent or healing, and I’m interested in that doubleness.” Moreover, there’s always an underlying sense of dependency in the photographs – “... these so-called opposites need each other to be active” – and the same goes for his photographs of juxtaposed objects: “They may be objects that are not normally seen together, but I don’t want them to be absurd constellations, I want them to make sense on some level.”
“There’s just this little hint of something opening up, reality breaking open, and something that’s beyond ordinary shows itself.” Rødland prefers his photographs to be based in relatable everyday life, but also feels “impatient with realism” and aims to “push reality into something more fantastical.” Furthermore, he wants to welcome back in the poetic dimension, which he felt was lacking in the American postmodern photography: “It’s part of what I can bring, what I can add to what’s already been done – it’s a different type of sensibility.”
Torbjørn Rødland (b. 1970) is a Norwegian photographer. He creates portraits, still lifes and landscapes, which simultaneously inhabit, defamiliarize and disrupt the realm of everyday life. Taking off in situations that appear familiar or similar to the aesthetic space of commercial photography, his images draw attention to the constructed nature of the image while leaving open the potential for unexpected outcomes. Rødland has had solo exhibitions at prominent venues such as Henie-Onstad in Oslo, Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art in Hiroshima, P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center in New York and Serpentine Galleries in London. He lives and works in Los Angeles and Oslo.
Torbjørn Rødland was interviewed by Kasper Bech Dyg at Gallery Nils Stærk in Copenhagen in November 2017.

TravelingSun 2012-2016
Traveling SUN is a road trip and a site-spesific art project by IstadPacini ArtLab, 2012- 2016.
Christine Istad and Lisa Pacini, Norway
Documentary made by Small Film
Our aim with our art project is to bring light to the dark winter months in the north, meet people and share with the rest of the world the beauty of the unspoiled nature that is to be found in all of the Nordic countries.
Distance: Oslo-Tromsø-Kirkenes-Bergen-London-Rjukan-Oslo-Reykjavik-Mo i Rana = 12.755 km (7926 miles)
For those of us living in the north the sun or lack of it has an immense impact on our lives. The artists Christine Istad and Lisa Pacini wanted to bring the SUN to dark places as a gesture. To take The SUN on the road trip was an essential part of the work. By documenting the trip on our blog, we allow viewers to share the trip with us.
The SUN is a circular light sculpture, 3 m in diameter, that shifts between a wide range of warm colors. To make the road trip, it was suspended above a flatbed trailer that was pulled by a flat bed truck. The generator that powers the SUN is in the back of the truck, allowing us to drive with the light on all the time.
- The SUN was mounted on the second floor façade of Tromsø Kunstforening on arrival, where it was installed from November 2012 until the sun officially returns from the long winter February 2013.
- The SUN then travelled all along the Norwegian west coast with Hurtigruten, mounted on the top deck, on a eight-day voyage from Tromsø to Kirkenes and to Bergen.
- After six months at the USF Verftet in Bergen the SUN was part of 100% Norway at the London Design festival in 2013.
- In October 2013, the SUN was mounted on the second floor façade of The Culture House at Rjukan. Rjukan was formerly a significant industrial centre in Telemark, Norway, established in 110 years ago when Norsk Hydro started production there. Rjukan was chosen because Rjukanfossen, a 104-metre waterfall, provided easy means of generating large quantities of electricity. This small valley between towering mountains is without a visible sun for approximately 6 months.
- Then the Traveling SUN was invited to Henie Onstad Art Center in Oslo the winter 2014-2015.
- Winter 2015-2016 the SUN is mounted on the roof of the Nordic House in Reykjavik, Iceland.
- Fall 2016 sold to National Library in Mo i Rana in Norway as a permanent installation via KORO.

- National Library in Mo i Rana, Norway. Permanent installation KORO
