: To verk er tildelt Juryens pris under Senjautstillinga 2025, en juryert utstilling arrangert av Senja kunstforening. Takk til juryen – Arnfinn Johnsen, Päivi Laakso og Caroline Kierulf – for prisen og for en presis og generøs lesning av arbeidene. Arbeidene inngår i min pågående undersøkelse av tegning som fysisk spor, der tegning og skulptur utvikles gjennom direkte kontakt mellom kropp, materiale og sted. -- To works have been awarded the Jury’s Prize at Senjautstillinga 2025, a juried exhibition organized by Senja kunstforening. Thank you to the jury – Arnfinn Johnsen, Päivi Laakso and Caroline Kierulf – for the prize and for a precise and generous reading of the works. The works are part of my ongoing investigation of drawing as a physical trace, where drawing and sculpture evolve through direct contact between body, material and place. 📸 (3-4) Eline Benjaminsen (2 kunstner) #juryertutstilling #juryenspris #samtidskunst #tegning #installasjon @sisselaurland #sisselaurland

: MAP N49°08’ E10°52-07 er valgt ut til Avtrykk, en kuratert utstilling på Becco i regi av Galleri Laukanes og kunsthistorisk tidsskrift Paragone, som lanserer sin nye utgave med samme tema i kveld. Verket springer ut av et prosessbasert møte mellom kropp, papir og underlag, der tegningen oppstår som en fysisk avleiring av kontakt – et spor etter bevegelse, trykk og nærvær snarere enn en representasjon. Stas å være del av et prosjekt som undersøker hvordan avtrykk kan forstås både materiellt, kunstfaglig og som metode. 📍 Becco, Kristian Augusts gate 11 🕘 Åpning i kveld kl. 18 Kurator: Galleri Laukanes I samarbeid med: Paragone -- MAP N49°08’ E10°52 has been selected for Avtrykk – a curated exhibition at Becco organized by Galleri Laukanes in collaboration with the art-historical journal Paragone, which is launching its new issue on the same theme this evening. The work emerges from a process-based encounter between body, paper, and terrain, where the drawing arises as a physical deposition of contact — a trace of movement, pressure, and presence rather than representation. Honoured to be part of a project that explores how imprint can be understood materially, artistically, and as method. 📍 Becco, Kristian Augusts gate 11 🕘 Opening tonight at 18:00 Curator: Galleri Laukanes In collaboration with: Paragone #avtrykk #contemporaryart #materiality #sculputraldrawing #processbasedart #drawingasanact #paragone #laukanes #embodiedpractice #avtrykk #contemporarydrawing #materiality #processbasedart #drawingasanact #paragone #laukanes #sisselaurland #sisselaurlandart #norskekunstnere #norwegianartscene

: A new silkscreen series developed at Fellesverkstedet, Oslo. The prints extend an ongoing investigation of line as a registering structure, where shifts in colour and density alter the field’s spatial and sensory presence. Each print stands alone. Together, they are moving towards a larger installation. #resonans #sisselaurland #fellesverkstedet

Folding Surfaces A flat sheet brought into sustained, attentive contact with the body, gradually condensing into volume. The process records contact as form. Documented performance, Lisbon, 2026. #foldingsurfaces #materialbasedart #paperart #paperbasedart

: Dyrøya, October 2025 A moment from a performance-based process, in which weather becomes an active agent. The work investigates drawing as a physical trace, emerging through contact between body, material and place. #materialtraces #performativeprocess #sisselaurland

Senjautstillinga 2025 has been extended with two more weeks until the end of January. Material Traces I, 2024 Paper sculpture, installed in glass. The work is part of my ongoing investigation of drawing as a physical trace — where contact between body, material and place becomes the work. #contemporaryart #drawingsculpture #materialpractice #sisselaurland
