Ane Mette Hol. Becoming (working title)

Ane Mette Hol explores marginal phenomena of art production. Her eye locked on minor matter—items that fall on the ground while making art in the studio, for instance, or traces left in an exhibition space after installing the works—she sharpens the viewers’ awareness of the conditions surrounding artistic production.

A piece of packing paper randomly dropped on the floor, indicating that the exhibition space was only recently painted—splattered dispersion paint complete with specks of dust; color checkers and gray cards used in reproduction photography to adjust the exposure so that the picture is as close to the depicted object as possible; lined notebooks or sketchbooks decorated with pencils or other visual clichés, stacks of paper and packaging material: on closer inspection all these inconspicuous materials and scraps turn out to be detailed, perfectly rendered drawings.
