Neon is at the core of Norwegian artist Anne Katrine Senstad’s wide ranging work across light and space, sound and synesthesia, aesthetics, form, and perception. Through advanced in-depth research, she has examined spatial, topological, and scientific phenomena of light, sound, and color since the 1990s, a foundation for her explorations in the experiential, the participatory, and the experimental. In the monumental neon sculpture series Elements I-VI (2018-2021) with sound environments composed by JG Thirlwell (Elements IV, V,VI) and Catherine Christer Hennix (Elements III), the artist has transformed space and challenged our awareness of spatial limits, our presence within the infinitesimal and empyrean experience. - RADICAL LIGHT – ELEMENTS IV & VI
A monumental light and sound environment that addresses the ephemeral sculpturality and the transformative potentials of the color white, set in two former military purpose buildings, today art centers, in concert with a vast enveloping sound space by acclaimed composer JG Thirlwell.

IST-MARX – MARX-IST
With the deconstruction of Marxist, or Marxism itself, the neon text itself becomes a question mark without the presence of its symbol, that asks the viewer to contemplate the need for communal and societal principals and value systems, set in perspective of the Anthroposcene and the presence of wider class division.
