Trondhjem Art Association is pleased to announce the opening of the group exhibition A female gaze x3!
The artist collective A Female Gaze, consisting of ten female photographers affiliated with Norway, has had the purpose of promoting the work of female photographers since 2021. Millions of selfies are taken each day, most of them by women and girls. The selfie as we know it today in a time when self-documentation and cameras are everywhere, is a development of the self-portrait, an image form that became common during the Renaissance. Self-portraits do not necessarily show who the person is, but rather how a person wishes to be perceived and how the portraitist perceives and defines themselves.
In Trondhjem Art Association a female gaze is directed towards self-portraiture as a form of expression. Through self-portraiture, it is possible to simultaneously be the one who sees and the one who is seen, and thus gain the power of definition of oneself. A Female Gaze asks the question of where a self-portrait begins and ends. What does it mean to expose oneself to society's view of women, how does one take original self-portraits in the wake of social media, and where are the boundaries between staging and reality?
The artists will be present during the opening and will participate in an artist talk where the audience will get to know the group better.
Welcome!
