Collection: Ingeborg Paulsrud

Ingeborg Paulsrud explores several artistic media, mainly painting, performance and graphics. By combining these techniques, she tackles subjects related to everyday life, loneliness and human interaction. In painting, she often prefers to work in series to thoroughly explore different subjects from different perspectives over longer periods of time. As a performance artist, she challenges her own preconceived notions by approaching subjects from conflicting perspectives.

One of her overall projects since 2018 is Stay Safe, Avoid Human Contact. The project includes exhibitions, lectures, texts, events and individual works of art. Within the framework of this project, she examines social interactions, human relationships, loneliness and the individual's relationship to himself. The project includes paintings of forest and dishes meeting empty rooms, sofas with demands for self-improvement and performance character Pam's forced positive lifestyle blog.

After completing her master's degree in 2019, she was artist in residency for Burning Athens in Greece. She was awarded the Arts Council's and Iaspi's travel grant the same year to further develop the project Stay Safe, Avoid Human Contact. Paulsrud has also received the Norwegian Culture Council's miscellaneous scholarship for young artists and was a finalist for the Kiruna Scholarship 2020 with his series of paintings depicting construction workers at night.
