Project Description:
Almost Held brings together new work by Damaris Athene and Valentino Vannini, developed during their residency at Studio17 in Stavanger. United by a shared interest in thresholds and states of transition, the exhibition unfolds as a material and perceptual dialogue shaped by the coastal landscape. Athene presents expanded photographic works initiated through site-responsive image making in Stavanger and on the island of Vassøy, printed on fabric and installed in space. Vannini exhibits a new installation combining lamp-worked glass and wax, informed by dissolving ice and chain-link fences observed around Storhaug park. Together, the artists create an environment of suspended transition and permeable boundaries.

Hope to see you at Studio17 in Gamle Stavanger for the opening!
