Nov 2018 - Jan 2019 - PARABIOSE group exhibition at Hå Gamle Prestegård

PARABIOSE group exhibition at Hå gamle prestegård / 17 November 2018 - 20 January 2019


PARABIOSE at Hå Gamle prestegård outside Stavanger in Norway is a group exhibition with 7 artists working with drawing and printmaking:

​In the exhibition I present new works in drawing: "Tupilaq Bali" a diptych and "Melissa - Hebe, Hera and Hekate" a Triptych, as well as the artist book "Crepuscular" made of lithography.​

From wikipedia:

Parabiosis, meaning "living beside", is a technical term in various contexts in fields of study related to ecology and physiology. It accordingly has been defined independently in at least three disciplines, namely experimental or medical physiology, the ecology of inactive physiological states, and the ecology of certain classes of social species that share nests.
