Freedom, autonomy, being impulsive.

In 2021/2022 she did two longer residencies in Lisbon, Portugal, at Duplex Air and PADA Studios and was part of a group exhibition at Galeria PADA, Portugal. Her residencies led to a series of works that was exhibited at Galleri Hos Arne, Oslo, Norway. Nes had her first international solo exhibition at SARP Gallery, Italy (2022).

GK—1:1 Pt 3 Slot #4—Janne Kruse
Janne Kruse (b. 1979, Denmark) lives and works in Oslo. She is a visual artist who works with a variety of expressions and media as well as collaborative constellations. Her work often examines spatial and linguistic potentials in the meeting between the human body and the external world and deals with time-related investigations and the fragmented nature of memory. Parallel to her individual work she is part of the Norwegian artist collective Verdensteatret that creates stage based audio-visual performances and installations. Janne Kruse is a graduate from Oslo National Academy of the Arts and Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing. For «1:1 Studio Works» Kruse presented ‘A quarter to midnight will be alright’, an honest attempt to explore the multitudes of time, cause and effect that unfolds in a different language to that of science, mathematics, and physics, perhaps a feeble attempt to insist upon art as a fourth language similar to a fourth dimension, a language unknown but nevertheless here.

For “1:1 Studio Works”, Plur presented “Personae”, a study of fashion's relationship to the portrait, based on how clothes, jewellery and symbolic objects have been used as a tool throughout the history of portraiture painting, to reveal information on the person being portrayed, social status and family background.
