ATELIERSTIPEND 2024-2025
Sampson Addae
The jury agreed unanimously on granting Addae a studio at Kunstnernes Hus. His practice exhibits a very strong development and promise. We were compelled by his unique use of materials and his wide range of formats and dimensions as well as coherence.
Adin Music
Upon deliberation, the jury unanimously agreed to grant Music a studio at Kunstnernes Hus. We were very impressed by his prolific and ambitious practice – both a lot of work and very impressive, which shows an ability to “følge noe til døren”!
Santiago Diaz Escamilla
Escamilla’s practice is very thought-through and thorough. He writes very well about his work and is clear about his ambitions and exhibits an eclectic use of materials. The description of his intended plans for the studio were also very convincing.
Anne-Marte Før
Før has a very considerate and poetic practice that continues a strong local tradition but with a unique voice. Her employment of historical materials that carry national significance are deliberately probed and questioned through a very material practice.
Madelon Verbeek
Verbeek’s work is both historically informed and materially involved. She needs ample space for her future plans and has compelling arguments for why she sees her future practice both in Norway and at Kunstnernes Hus.
Kim Henning Andreassen
Andreassen made a strong argument for why he needs a studio, both for his own practice and for his persistent collaborative endeavors. We were interested in his intention to work with habit for a project.
Ghazaal Nasiri
Nasiri’s portfolio stood out with a unique expression, grounded in the weaving practices of Qashqai nomadic women, which finds a developed conceptual, durational, and spatial expression in recent practices. We can see she has taken “et syvmilsteg” in her recent practice.
Eili Bråstad
Bråstad’s film and interdisciplinary practice had a strong impact on the jury. We are interested in her ambitions for future work as well as the collaborative nature of her practice, which we find that the studio at Kunstnernes Hus will help to nurture further.
Abirami Logendran
Logendran’s work aims to fix a wide lens on contemporary visual culture, and examine how media and technology shape our perceptions and performances of race and gender. Her work is always in conversation with other art, literature, film and music; sometimes through direct references, while at other times through more subtle, hidden connections.
STIPEND FOR KUNSTNERISK UTVIKLING
Dina Al-Makhrami
Al-Makhrami was unanimously chosen by the jury for a stipend. We were IMPRESSED with the practice’s strength and relevance! The photographic voice is strong and clear and exhibits both personal as well as societal ambitions. We are confident that her planned project to document her father’s journey to Norway will be successfully carried out and will benefit many.
Sellia Goba
Goba was chosen unanimously for a stipend by the jury. The work is impressingly ambitious in its scale, thoroughness, and vastness for a BA student. Her writing practice is also very clear, and she knows where she is headed with the money she applied for.
Åsa Elida Wigum Skjetne
Wigum Skjetne has a very cohesive practice for a BA student that is impressively-well developed. It departs from an investigation of techniques and national narratives that she proposes to develop further after graduation.
Chai Saeidi
Saeidi has a very developed artistic voice, which the jury was pleased to reward with a grant. It is a very specific project regarding how Ballroom dancing has had reverberating cultural egects that they proposed to develop further.
Thyra Dragseth
The jury unanimously agreed to award Thyra Dragseth a stipend. Her work is extremely developed and professional and we are confident that her focused intent to learn color photography development in Copenhagen will yield impressive results.
Paulina Stroynowska
Stroynowska had a very good application, which shows a unique artistic voice and strong collective and political aspirations for intersection of art, activism, and intersectional minority positions.
Carmel Alabbasi
Alabbasi’s project is an important intervention in the current moment, connecting her local situatedness in Norway with the Palestinian refugee experience. Her work is critical of narratives of cultural origin and a strong belief in poetry and sound as a means to explore the complexity of the current moment’s political and historical contexts.
Steinar Brovold Hauge
Brovold Hauge has applied for funds connected to travel and production support for future projects, and the jury would like to specifically support the development of the project Triolekteket – a digital “library”, a book publication and an exhibition series – and also support his planned solo exhibition at Hermetiske Skygger in Oslo. Brovolds practice is based on site-specific characteristics and fragments of the history of places.
