Norwegian artist AK Dolven exhibits works blending geological, historical, and personal time—an invitation to encounter oneself within a temporal framework extending far beyond us. About A sculpture in Arctic marble, a voice calling across a Lofoten lake and returning transformed, daily drawings that, in a time of isolation, bear witness to the passage of time and one's own presence, a tulip poised between decay and resurrection: all these works are connected by the question of touch and time. A hand on the stone. The brush on the petal. The voice that reaches every listener. The works encounter a space long accustomed to hearing voices that address that which eludes the eye.

A hand resting on stone. A brush upon a petal. A voice reaching every listener. These works meet a space long accustomed to receiving voices addressed to that which eludes the eye.
