La Croix, Juliette Minchin, 2023

Juliette Minchin created in situ for the Abbey of Beaulieu-en-Rouergue. Arranged at the crossroads of the transept between the nave and the choir, the 28-meter-long cross-shaped sculpture responds to the Latin cross plan of the abbey. It is composed of 33 openwork steel panels covered with wax, where 363 wicks are lit in turn. Like a huge candle, the installation evolves over the exhibition and gradually reveals its metal structure. "The work is a real monolith of wax and steel. A mausoleum, a votive monument, perhaps also a cave. Inspired by a Sicilian silt, Juliette Minchin adapted the "diving" technique by which, minute after minute, millimeters after millimeters, the strands of the candles are covered with waxes and cooled, thickening, to use it in the construction of real wax walls. The metallic motif of their frame is a bouquet of elongated roses that pays tribute to the rosettes of the Abbey of Beaulieu. But patience! Because it is only at the consumption of this monumental candle that the structure is revealed. The wax sculpted the metal at the time of the dive, by the concretion of its drops. By melting, it becomes architectural garment, skin of the work, shroof of the cross. Like an hourglass, the work evokes the passage of time, the patient and meticulous repetition of the same gestures that form both immemorial techniques and disappeared rites. Like miraculous water, the molten wax will be recovered at the end of the exhibition in order to be integrated into the initial reservoir and the work will be reactivated during its next exhibition. The wax will return to wax, according to the reason of the eternal return, made to ward off the fears of those who remain, the fears of the after.:

To uker til åpning: Hanne Friis

Hanne Friis was born in 1972 in Oslo and studied painting and sculpture at the Trondheim Academy of Art. Her textile sculptures are created with fabrics that are often dyed by her through experimentation and slow dyeing processes that give the material for her sculptures pictorial expressions of unpredictable effect. Using a strictly manual technique, Friis transforms a soft and fluffy material into abstract and sensual works, with a solid and complex structure that seem to be engaged in an autonomous, slow but inexorable process of perennial growth and change. As metaphors of the flow of life and the succession of events and phenomena that characterize it, her works are synthesis and representation of the ambiguity between form and matter.

Step inside Magdalena Abakanowicz's forest of woven sculptures

In the 1960s, Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz began making large-scale woven sculptures that defied all categorisation. They seemed like coats or cocoons that tempted you to crawl inside, or hairy living creatures suspended from the gallery ceiling. The critics did not know what to make of them and called them 'Abakans' - perhaps the only example of an art form named after their artist. In this film, curator Ann Coxon leads us through a 'forest' of these towering Abakans, exploring how Abakanowicz pioneered a whole new form of installation art.
