Trine Lise Nedreaas

Norway, 1972

Best known for her intriguing and uncanny films. Making use of a symbolically rich and visual language, her film works often portray solitary performers, absorbed in their own acts but isolated from their usual audience and stage. Nedreaas’ disconcerting work conveys a sense of instability and fragility.

Through intimate, playful performances and makeshift materials, her work explores our shared experience of a temporal existence in a relentless eternity. Trine Lise Nedreaas studied art history at the University of Bergen and Fine Art in London at Central Saint Martin school of Fine Art and at the Slade School of Fine Art. Nedreaas’ film work has been exhibited worldwide. Notably at the billboards of Times Square in New York, in the Mori Art Museum (Tokyo), PS1 MoMa (NY), Kunstwerke (Berlin), Palazzo delle Arti (Napoli), Everson Museum (NY), Kunstverein Schwerin, New Center for Contemporary Art (Louisville), MACRO, Museo d’Arte Contemporanea (Rome), International Biennial Bienalsur in Buenos Aires, Boca Raton Museum in Miami, Art Pavilion in Zagreb, Albright Knox Gallery (Buffalo, NY), Astrup Fearnley (Oslo). Nedreaas work is represented in private as well as in public collections like Nasjonalmuseet for kunst i Oslo, KODE i Bergen, Stavanger Kunstmuseum, Albright Knox Collection USA, Neuer Berliner Kunstverein Berlin and Staatliches Museum Schwerin Germany.
