Galleri Riis, NO

Galleri Riis will feature a two-artist exhibition with Eline Mugaas (1969- NO) and Éva Mag (1979-RO/SE). Eline Mugaas, primarily known for her work within an extended field of photography, has recently made exhibitions combining film, sculpture and photography in complex and elegant installations. Her ideas span a variety of interests, and her photographs are concerned with light, texture, space and place in a broad sense. Images can be from domestic interiors or urban spaces, as well as antique art or sourced from various printed matter like old photography manuals.

Éva Mag’s focus over the last years has been performance, scenography and site-specific installations comprising textiles, clay and steel. Over the last year, she has completed a public art project for Stockholm Konst in Skärholmen, with monumental and brightly painted sculptures in aluminum, inspired by her ongoing work with textile collages. Mugaas will occupy the walls with a variety of photographic works, in various formats and sizes, both framed and unframed, wallpapered and collaged directly on the wall. These works will interact with, and create the backdrop for, a group of three welded and painted aluminum sculptures, 1-5 meters tall, by Éva Mag. The sculptures will be presented together as a group on a low custom-made podium covering a larger part of the floorspace in the booth.
