Norwegian artist Liliane Blom will be participating in this year's "Artomatic" in D.C., with her photographic installation "Norwegain Nights". The annual Artomatic is a month-long multimedia arts event that draws together visual artists, musicians and performers and brings their work to the community without charge. The exhibition opens May 9 and closes June 15.
5/6/2008 :: Liliane's "Norwegian Nights" is a photographic installation of Gaustadtoppen, a mountain in Norway known for its impressive panoramic view. "Norwegian Nights" is the first of a projected series of installation pieces entitled Outside Inn. This series of environmental art pieces brings the vastness, greatness and beauty of the outdoors indoors. It brings the mountains, ocean and woods to the viewer in the urban and suburban areas. It reconnects the viewers with the natural world, with the grand open spaces which she might not have had the opportunity to experience. The pieces are meant to remind the viewers of the amazing world of which we are a part, by putting them in the middle of it.
