SELECTED WORKS / INFO
Madelen Isa Lindgren (b. 1990) is a Norwegian artist working with sculpture and storytelling. Focusing on metal and glass she rediscovers and transforms their symbolic properties by combining ancient and modern techniques. She is interested in the ephemeral sequences within the process and how the material undergoes a metamorphosis, changing their physical appearance through texture and shape. The historical records of metal and glass connect her work with ritual and defence, using the material to serve as shields, vessels, and structural elements. Even if the material purposes have inhabited new roles in society, they still remain as arcane agents. Lindgren's work utilizes these agents as sculptural imitations to re-examine relations with tradition, beliefs and the passage of time by intertwining them with contemporary narratives.
Lindgren holds a BA from Oslo the National Academy of the Arts and a MA in Fine Art from The University of Bergen where she graduated spring 2024. Her work has been shown in both national and international galleries and institutions as Fotogalleriet, Kunstnerforbundet, K4 Gallery, Oslo (NO), Bomuldsfabriken, Arendal (NO), Museum FLUXUS, Berlin (DE), Kastela Art Centre, Athens (GR).
