We are pleased to welcome the next resident Helene Sommer

Helene Sommer at Artica Svalbard, August 2023

We are very pleased to welcome our next resident of 2023, Oslo based artist Helene Sommer. 

Through video, text and installation she questions the way we understand and relate to our surroundings and its history, particularly in regard to the premises and politics of the sciences. She is interested in the multiple levels of translation, interpretation and rhetorical devices that are involved in all storytelling.

Sommer graduated from the National Academy of Art in Oslo in 2003 and has since shown her work in galleries, museums and festivals. She has been nominated by our key partner Office for Contemporary Art Norway (OCA).
