MARGRETHE KOLSTAD BREKKE
textile artist
based in Rjukan,Norway
My work explores the relationship between energy, resources, cultural transformation and possible futures.
Through textile art and long-term collaborations, I investigate how knowledge and shared realities moves between people, places and institutions.
Ongoing projects include Rjukan Solarpunk Academy, the book and textile- art project NYE STRUKTURER FOR STERKT REDUSERT FORBRUK (New Structures for Strongly Reduced Consumption) - in collaboration with the energydirector at the university of Bergen,
Kristin Guldbrandsen Frøysa, and research into new human infrastructures for international cultural exchange through the initiative Trust in Humanity.
The artworks are often the visible outcomes of much longer processes involving research, dialogue, archives, communities and material experimentation.
