In “Dual World,” three multi-media artists meet in Oslo and create an exciting exhibition based on contrasting themes.
Olga Kryzhanovska and Svitlana Danylchenko are accomplished sand art animators from Ukraine who recently migrated to Norway where Olga first met artist Natalia Elverum, an Oslo-based costume designer who happens to have strong ties with her Russian background.
Together, these three visual artists have decided to collaborate through various mediums to produce an exciting exhibition with a focus on global duality: the natural vs the urban, organic vs. industrial, order vs. chaos, etc.
And yet they all manage to meet here, to explore this multi-layered duality and perhaps reveal something new.
