About the exhibition
The exhibition To Make a World has been conceived as a visual essay — a pictorial world — raising questions about generally held conceptions and topics of debate.
Woodcuts constituted Europe’s first mass media used as a means to spread news, satire, and propaganda. The Kierulf sisters borrow from this unpretentious aspect, together with references to the medium’s diverse history as an art form. The artists themselves have called their practice “woodcut as cultural critique.”
The artist's work individually having settled with studios geographically apart: on the rural island of Radøy (Annette) and in the city of Bergen (Caroline). For the exhibition at Kode, they present individual works from their oeuvres sharing a feminist outlook.
