Group exhibition // ATLA
This year Atla is curating a group show featuring new work by four emerging Nordic artists working in the field of lens-based media. The artists approach the medium of photography in vastly different ways, but they share an interest in investigating the impact of image culture and how imagery is read in today’s society.
Linnéa Cramer (b.1997, she/her) is a photographer and video artist based in Sweden. In her practice, she deals with contemporary and posthuman questions about body, sexuality and gender, linked to the history of religion and mythology. Linnéa has studied art history and queer theology and she graduated from Fine Art Photography, HDK-Valand in 2022.
Einar Mølmann Fuglem (b. 1997, he/him) is a Norwegian artist based in Oslo, Norway. His work draws on the language of generic images, trying to grapple with the production of photographs. Einar obtained his BFA from HDK-Valand Academy in Gothenburg in 2022.
Jasko Bobar and Sebastian T. Thorsted work with photography and collage in an experimental way, combing analog techniques with digital post-production. With a playful approach, they utilize props, colors, and AI software to create tactile (bodily) sculptures and fictitious universes. They both graduated from The Danish School of Media and Journalism and in their practice they explore the intersection between fashion and art photography.
The four artists have prior to the exhibition been selected to participate in the mentorship program ‘IMPACT’ which Atla has initiated to support emerging artists working in the field of lens-based media in the Nordic countries. Over the course of six months, they have received feedback and sparring from Atla, Behzad Farazollah, Jenny Nordquist, Anna Clarén, and Alex Avgud.
Atla is a platform for camera-based art and facilitates mentorships, exhibitions, publications, and events revolving around the photographic medium. Atla is a non-commercial and non-profit organization based in Copenhagen, and as a nomadic platform, Atla creates art experiences at different venues and countries. Behind Atla is the curatorial duo Cecilie Stephansen and Linnea Frandsen.
