hudnoiEdith Karlson and Jass Kaselaan have studied together, worked together, and also exhibited together as the artist group “Hudnoi”. For the first time in seven years, they are again working together to create a new exhibition under the same title. Neither the name of the artist group nor the title of this exhibition means anything specific because the word was invented by the artists, and therefore it can’t be translated. Although their works may have been created using different mediums within sculpture, every now and then their practices meet and overlap to produce joint exhibitions such as this one.
