Ingrid Lønningdal was awarded The Savings Bank Foundation DNB’s grant in 2014 for the works «No Title. Palm Springs I-II». Her work is based on physical surroundings, often city environments. Oslo Kunstforening is pleased to invite Lønningdal back for the solo presentation «Division of Space». 

The exhibition will present six new series, in the form of collage, textile, screenprint as well as painting on paper and burlap. Several of the series are based on the commute back and forth from her studio, more precisely an industry and trading hub she passes by on a daily basis. It’s located centrally in Oslo, but still in the periphery, squeezed in between of highways, railway- and metro tracks. The area is going through a morphological process steered by practical needs. Street alleys, parking lots, solid buildings of concrete from the 1960’s, and simpler, pre-fabricated halls of newer dates are slowly being transformed. Lønningdal is interested in how places such as these go through change, as well as their placement and accessibility in physical and mental border zones.
