My work Unweaving II is present at the group exhibition Dei ekstraordinære - nye verk fra 2021 in Førde, Norway.

In 2020–2021, Sogn og Fjordane Art Museum (SFKM)
received 5 million Norwegian kroner from the Ministry of Culture, due to the Covid-19-pandemic. The endowment was given in extraordinary grants for art purchases. This corresponds to roughly 17 years of ordinary purchasing budgets for the museum. SFKM was supported to stimulate artistic activity among Norwegian artists and to maintain the business of the galleries during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The funds have been designated for the purchase of art by contemporary artists living in Norway. This endowment has given SFKM a rare opportunity to develop the collection. The museum’s main goal has been to reflect the diversity of artists in Norway. The chosen artworks promote a broad representation and highlight less visible stories in society.

Curator of the exhibition: Ingrid Norum
