Vebjørn Sand has proven to be a figure in contemporary Norwegian society whose interests have not been confined to the studio but who has inspired public discussion, debate and even controversy. His collaborative project, Trollslottet, was immensely popular and has become a favorite of the Norwegian media. In this role he has brought the Leonardo Project to the Norwegian Public Roads Administration and has inspired its construction in the town of Ås. To build this bridge five hundred years after it was designed by Leonardo da Vinci is a tribute to Vebjørn Sand’s vision, as well as to the vision of the Norwegian Public Roads Administration and the engineering firms responsible for its realization. Norwegian public life boasts a long-standing relationship between the artist and society.

The period European modernism has marked a breakthrough in art spawned by the liberation of individual artists from established conventions. In Scandinavia, aside from the widespread display of unbridled passion for experimentation, no common feature emerged. This period is characterized most of all by the variety of innovative approaches, making this an exciting and revolutionary period in the history of European art. Filled with colorful illustrations of paintings, this splendid book captures the turbulence and artistic fervor of this era while its essays explore the different manifestations in each Scandinavian country. Artists documented include: Nils Dardel, Siri Derkert, Isaac Grünewald, Sigrid Hjertén, Per Krohg, Jón Stefánsson, Tyko Saalinen and many more.

This exhibition was primarily an installation and a new approach for Morten Schelde, taking a step toward opening out the universe of his drawings to a spatial process in which one experiences his work with the body as much with the eye. The landscape as well as a series of smaller iconic drawings offer hints of small, dreamlike surreal dramas, where Schelde addresses our culturally-formed view of nature and invites us to experience a state of pure being. The book contains, almost exclusively, full-page reproductions of the work, including a fold-out, and an interview with the artist about the exhibition. A lovely little catalogue to collect.
