Verde Lapponia (2023) av Marit F\u00f8lstad<\/h3>\r\n \r\n
\r\n

Verket Verde Lapponia<\/em> var en del av den stedsspesifikke installasjonsutstillingen NONSITE<\/em>, av Marit F\u00f8lstad og Ole J\u00f8rgen Ness, som ble vist p\u00e5 Bomuldsfabriken Kunsthall i 2022\/2023. Etter utstillingen ble verket donert til kunsthallen som et minnesmerke over kunsthallens tidligere direkt\u00f8r, Harald Solberg (1954\u20132020).<\/p>\n

Verde Lapponia<\/em> er latinsk for \u201dGr\u00f8nt Lappland\u201d, og henviser til materialet masikvartsitt. Denne metamorfe bergarten er rundt 1.5 milliarder \u00e5r gammel, og finnes kun i Kautokeino i Nord-Norge. Den utvinnes p\u00e5 Finnmarksvidda i sommerhalv\u00e5ret, prim\u00e6rt fra juni til november. I vinterhalv\u00e5ret er omr\u00e5det fredet til vinterbeite for rein. Steinen har et karakteristisk foldem\u00f8nster \u2013 n\u00e6rmest skyaktig \u2013 prim\u00e6rt i gr\u00f8nn og hvit, med tidvis innslag av rosa. Fargespillet kan frembringe assosiasjoner til Nordlyset \u2013 skulpturen bringer det arktiske lyset og fargene fra steinbruddet i nord til Torbj\u00f8rnsbu gruve i s\u00f8r.<\/p>\n

Masikvartsitt brukes hovedsakelig i eksklusivt interi\u00f8r med h\u00f8ypolerte flater, og er en relativt kostbar sten. F\u00f8lstad er imidlertid prim\u00e6rt opptatt av hva steinen \u00abnaturlig\u00bb kan \u2013 dens egenkarakter, fargespekteret i bergarten og hvilken fortelling den bringer med seg. De fleste av F\u00f8lstads kunstprosjekter er derfor utformet av \u00abrestmateriale\u00bb fra steinbruddet, et kunstnerisk valg som setter s\u00f8kelyset p\u00e5 hvordan mennesket utnytter naturen for \u00e5 tilfredsstille egne behov og \u00f8nsker. En alternativ holdning finnes i \u00f8kofilosofien, hvor naturen tillegges en egenverdi utover sin nytte for mennesket. Id\u00e9en om at alle ting er forbundet i en form for bevissthet, forplikter oss til \u00e5 m\u00f8te naturen med ydmykhet og respekt \u2013 en holdning som reflekteres i F\u00f8lstads kunstneriske prosess, der det er like viktig \u00e5 forst\u00e5 hva materialet vil med oss, som hva vi vil med materialet.<\/p>\n
