Magnhild Øen Nordahl
Magnhild Øen Nordahl is an artistic researcher, who lives and works in Bergen, Norway. In 2018, she co-founded Aldea Center for Contemporary Art, Design and Technology and started a PhD in artistic research at the University of Bergen. In her practice, she looks at how we translate phenomena into abstract concepts and how giving a sculptural body to abstractions can be a way of examining with our hands, eyes, and feet; the things that structure our everyday. She has made works about measurement systems, the spherical shape of the Earth, standard shapes in 3D modeling software, and the double nature of the 3D model as both abstract and particular, digital and physical. Øen Nordahl has exhibited her work at venues including Bergen Kunsthall, The Astrup Fearnley Museum, Oslo; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; and the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, Alberta.
