Composed chaos
In a chaotic and unpredictable world, the uncontrollable creates a desire for control. The magic of presence disappears in the desire to anticipate the unpredictable, as well as the human need for control over situations. The exhibition calls into question the emphasis on yesterday's tragedy, as well as tomorrow's concerns, which overshadow the presence in the present. All the works have unpredictable mediums, which create vigilance and closeness to the moment.
According to NRK, Lea Alstad is one of Norway's biggest artists on Instagram. She has built up a large national and international audience, with various works of art hanging in, among other places, Japan, the USA, Austria and Great Britain. She previously had her debut solo exhibition at M35 Tjuvholmen, with great success. On 7 July she will come to Stavern to show off her new exhibition: a composed chaos.
