We are excited to announce our first resident of 2021 nominated by the Queen Sonja Print Award, Viken based artist Line Prip.

At the core of Prip’s artistic practice is her interest in how we are affected by other people and by the context in which we are situated. Human relations are permeated with what we cannot see, and in her spatial works she is materialising the invisible mechanisms that underlie our human existence by translating them into a physical, sensual experience. The body plays an essential part in the encounter with her works as they mirror the way in which we experience the world through physical presence. 

Prip received her MFA in medium and material based art from Oslo National Academy of the Arts in Norway 2020.

Line will be join us for five weeks during April and May. For more information visit: https://www.articasvalbard.no/future/line-prip
