Jan Steinum
Red River Boy in the Cotton Candy Garden
14 January - 14 February 2010
Jan Steinum examines the crossroad between the authentic and the constructed, where he finds a fruitful tension between the prosaic documentary and the dramatics of the fiction. Steinum makes use of a variety of media, such as video, installation, sculpture and performance. Changing from media to media allows his ideas to evolve from one field to another. The exhibition “Red River Boy in the Cotton Candy Garden” will contain a textile installation with a newly produced video.
Jan Steinum has a degree from The Academy of Fine Arts, Prague, The Academy of Experimental Dance Theatre, Copenhagen, The Oslo National Academy of the Arts and The Trondheim Academy of Art. He has had a number of solo exhibitions and has participated in many group shows in Norway and abroad. Steinum has also an extensive live art activity.
