"I DO, I REDO, I UNDO, woven entities" 2024Fishingthread, wool, denim, polyester, wood, metall. 2024. Group exhibition, Scraps, Thorsønn design, Oslo, Norway.How and in what way can we create from what already exists? Are materials already given a certain expiry date, or is it possible to work in a collective form; reshaping and thinking about value as well as durability….Scraps starts as a conversation between Norwegian hand craftsmen/designers to artists; on how to reuse, redo and start fresh with something that someone regards as unsuitable. An experiment of putting materials into form, wool or other wooden things from a fabric in Gudbrandsdalen.All materials are found, and that to me represents a new way of thinking about art. More focused on the collective, as well as perhaps a greener way of looking at it all. Could collaborative art really be the future on how we view for instance scraps and excess materials? I would ask you simply to think of all the expressions that we use unconsciously every day which invoke a textile: a threadbare argument, weaving a plot, spinning a tale, making something up out of whole cloth, building a network of users… The web and the spider, represents all of us intertwined in our generations, how women carry 8 generations in their body and dna. The intersections between femininity and the web. How we are all dependent on each other as a family, a society and as a whole, to function. As I write this in my studio, I look at the wall bathing in light, and there is a small black spider crawling on the wall. Sun flickering on her back, she's climbing towards the plant. She wants to build more.
Elvelangs, Oslo. Commission work, municipality of Gamle Oslo. The purpose of this project, was to invoke a sense of transformation, through textile and smell, during a Elvelangs, Oslo, 2024. Welcoming the audience into a lighter, warmer energy, in an area of the city that's normally left alone, without a lot of illumination, and mainly used by homeless people as well as drug users.The fabric installed in a manner as if a wash left to be dried in the wind. Shiny material for etherealness and a continuation of the wind, blending in with the sky and the sun. Infusing the textiles with different techniques of energetic cleansing, smell and incense. Leaving you to walk into an immersed sensory based installation, letting the viewer create their own narrative.The textiles were installed 3-4 meters high up in the trees, connected in one rope connection. Wood, metal, rope, textile, scent, incense, lights.Elvelangs, 2024, Nybrua, Oslo.
ARR /// (Refleksjon)ARR is a film trilogy from 2015 until now, where the three existing videos function narratively as a timeline in the journey of mental health. ARR is presented alongside analog 35mm photographs in a sensory-based interactive installation, where some motifs are also printed on cotton and silk fabric. The videos are projected into the space, where they are assembled and installed in a site-specific manner. ARR has been exhibited at NW gallery (CPH, 2022) as well as Sorgenfri (OSL, 2022), and now here at Neue Design Studio in collaboration with Atelie. ARR /// (Reflection) is the final part of the ARR trilogy, produced in 2023. The film and photographs provide the viewer with insights into the last phase of a kind of complete healing – the final stage where the profound highs and lows of the human mind are balanced, and a sense of ease emerges. Jenny´s work has been exhibited at Kösk Gallery, Tenthaus, I spy; Berlin, Kunstnernes Hus, Rådhusgalleriet, Lier Gård, Multicultural Museum, Cultural History Museum, art galleries, Oslo City Hall, Esperanto, Brutus, Cyan, Museum of Cultural History, The Holy Art Gallery - UK, London; Imago Mundi - The Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Venice, Italy; Safnahúsið - The Culture House, Reykjavik, Iceland, to name a few. https://atelie.art/a/jenny-hviding-arr-reflection?fbclid=IwAR2bHNLvM4fBk4m5bZr2g5w4NAulJ9fdyLzf-wmUMnRr-O47cWcNzUL-y6k

Arr /// RefleksjonARR /// (refleksjon) project is the last part in a trilogy, made between 2016-2023. Made as an experience based exposition, a place of relaxation and contemplation. installations. Bringing nature into the exposition space as a way of connection to others as well as one self.«In a literal play on the name of the exhibition, (ARR) we used motion to scar the images. Using motion we also added the element of time. Giving the memory life. The scarring itself represents the distortion of our memories, and how we perceive them over time. Like missing pieces of a memory – or a distorted view of what happened. «ARR shows an outtake of an ongoing experimental project, regarding your own consciousness and presence in life, as well as our mental health. It explores what happens when we document and occupy spaces in between the duality of vulnerability, the edges, as well as the highs and lows. An experiment on how the lense can capture and transform traumas somehow; into something like a self help tool that makes the lows more manageable, more comprehensible.It shows 3 narratives, a before, during and after, all meshed and woven together. Nature is brought into the gallery room as an aid for the audience, to send the message about connecting back with nature, as well as an indication on what helped the process of healing and understanding. Creating from a place of stillness, to take the viewer into some sort of ethereal state. Working with giving the audience a sensory based experience.
ARR //ARR 11.8-21.8 2022. En utstilling som omhandler visuelle tanker og utprøvninger rundt støy. En hjerne som prøver seg frem. Sakte, gjennom bølger og under vann. Jenny Hviding is currently working within the landscape of nostalgia, nature and memory in her photographic practice. When everything is filled with something pressured and loud, where do you go? How do you perceive your surroundings while having the feeling of being under water... ARR presents a visual outtake from a triggered mind, that's living in between the duality of vulnerability, the subdued and hard edges, the highs and lows. ARR contemplates and experiments on calming the mind through the lens. Jenny Hviding Visuals is an Oslo-based multidisciplinary artist, working with painting, photography, fabric, video and sound. Exploring nature, memory, nostalgia, identity and belonging; through installations and other sensory based experiences for the viewer.

Magnolia, closeupI wanted to make something joyous, playful and feminine. Amusement in sensible pleasures, of putting paint all over your body. The liberty of being naked and rolling around on a huge canvas.

The girl, the pen and the watermelon painting.A small performance I did a while ago. Finding absolute pleasure in doing this. Drawing on skin.... Mmmmm. Could there be anything better really. (2018)
I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVE IS(Growing into my own skin)Photo Booth. Growing into my own skin. (2014-)I started this project as a way of understanding myself. To connect to the person I saw in the reflection, mirror and then Photo booth. In the beginning it was strange observing myself, but after a while I got so used to having the camera recording in all kinds of situations, that at times I forgot it was even there. I performed for the camera, for myself, for a viewer who is not present other than in my fantasy. I performed for my inner self perhaps, with the dialog being held. This is one of the projects I will never stop doing, as life continues and evolves. I do believe in 2021, I am closer to myself and have found a way to connect with what I see. And that makes me hopeful for the future. I wanna know what love is is part of this photo booth project, filming myself through my mac in various situations. Dance, painting, love and life blends together with the need to document.(2019, Reykjavik)
