Visitors 2010

Lina Viste Grønli combines sculptural and collage techniques that deconstruct language as a narrative form. Her work draws from popular culture and imagery proposing alternative strategies and redefinitions. Although varying widely in scale and orientation, her work manifests a sense of displacement, suggesting a subversive orientation and a defying of convention. Grønli is currently working on several public sculpture proposals and a publication on the work Grace Jones on Sculpture (Torpedo Press). Recent exhibitions include a solo show at Gaudel de Stampa, Paris, France (upcoming), Henie Onstad Art Centre, Oslo, Performa09, New York, NY, USA, Art Since the Summer of 69, New York, and Galerie de la Friche Belle de Mai, Marseille. Grønli recently was a resident in Yaddo in Saratoga Springs, New York.
