the day the sky became my ground


More Art: January is the best! all the galleries are starting their new programs for the year and that means openings galore. On thursday the 21st I will be heading over to Wilkinson for their latest offering from the likes of A K Dolven. Join me for some champagne! here is what they say about it:



"In her latest exhibition at Wilkinson Gallery, A K Dolven is showing two major works, ‘the day the sky became my ground’, a 16mm film and a video installation entitled ‘ahead’ with a third ‘Self portrait Berlin February 1989 - Lofoten august 2009’. All are rooted in Dolven’s sensibility formed in the northern reaches of Europe, in the landscape that surrounds the Lofoten Islands in northern Norway above the Arctic Circle. Here in the winter the mountains that run down to the fjords are covered in deep snow, in the summer the sun never sets. This extreme and beautiful environment is used by A K Dolven as the backdrop to her explorations of the poetic relationship between landscape and the human body."
