Upcoming exhibition :
Arteriet in Kristiansand, Norway 21.11.2020, as part of nodoCCS videofestival, curated and initiated by artnodoCCS, a Venezuelian platform for art, with focus on video and sound.
Sharing Tent is my first project using video. It is a work in progress, but is recieving so good energy from everywhere. First of all it is a heart project, where I look at what loss and sorrow is. How it is nothing like the world told me it would be, and how it lead to meeting some beautiful beings, som were strangers, other friends. Through the act of inviting, sharing, without words, collaborating, healing, lifting, spending time with eachother and our lost ones.
Sharing Tent started as a manifestation of a room, the one to sorrow, inside me, which I could not find or understand. And it has developed to be a collaboration project with some beautiful beings;
Kyuja Bae, Artist and Dancer.
Dr.Philosophy Helena M. S. Schmidt Onarheim.
Kathinka Goldberg, Artist.
Susanne K. Johansen, Artist.
Tanja Schûtt Dideriksen, Psychiatric nurse.
I am so grateful for being invited to show this installation already now, and look forward to show it saturday 14.11.

Hello Photolithography.
So, I`m back as a student and love it madly.
This time not in photography, but learning about awesome graphic techniques at The National School of Arts in Oslo, Arts and Craft department, Graphics and drawing.
I am starting my second year diving into photolithography, eager to see what this medium can do.
Lithography stones are from the bottom of our oceans, from BEFORE the plates separated and created our continents.. just saying..
Publication on the renewed UNSEEN platform.
Go check it out, among a bunch of other great projects to dive in to.
Extension : Interior Landscape still on view in NW Gallery Copenhagen.
Some of the works, including the wall installation, is still on viewed and purchased at NW Gallery in Nansensgade 10, Copehagen.

Solo and AIR in NW Gallery, Copenhagen, June 2019
So happy to exhibit in a gallery that is very special and dear to me, NW Gallery Copenhagen. The gallerist, Nina Worren, and I made an exhibition together in these rooms, and it has been a dream to be able to be here and work directly at the walls and among this amazing person. Nina was also the person who first showed me what to pictures could do together when she helped me with my application to my first photoschool Fatamorgana. Since then I have follower her footsteps in school choices and she has helped me getting in, and now I am grateful to call her one of my closest friends ;) All she does for the art-world is from the heart, and that is unique in these days. Very grateful to be in her presence.
In other words, lots of good vibrations happening in the gallery! ;)
So please come by while I will be here transforming the gallery into a sketchbook, from now until the opening the 09.06. Welcome!
Ps. pre opening 05.06 of you want to meet us and se how we work.

reGeneration 3, Now China!
reGeneration3, a selection of young artists of tomorrow from all the world is continuing its touring until 2020. After Mexico, England and Switzerland, it’s now in China!
Here is a short presentation video and text on the work exhibited, my first publication Fractal State of Being. Click here to see the video
“The artist’s book entitled Fractal State of Being is constructed as a poem that explores the inner stirrings of the human soul. Combining photographs, notes, and drawings, Sara Skorgan Teigen revisits the tradition of the sketchbook: ancillary works often relegated by art historians to the status of mere documents, these sorts of materials, in addition containing an artist’s sketches and preparatory drawings, amount to a more or less partial anthology of her annotations and sources of inspiration. Teigen then illustrates her own personal feelings — extremely abstract and fleeting, for most part — in the form of hybrid documents comprised primarily of photographs of stony and watery landscapes in which she “lays herself bare” in series of tableaux. Over these images she draws skeins of words, plant forms, and locks of hair, in both pencil and ink. Leitmotivs that recur on each double page, these organic- looking drawings also seem to resonate with the title of the project. From the Latin fractus, meaning “broken,” the term “fractal” designates an extremely indented geometrical object, in which a basic structure repeats itself endlessly at every scale. This reference to mathematics reinforces the fragmentary nature of Sara Skorgan Teigen’s work, already manifest in the choice of the sketchbook structure”.

Challenge, publication, KUNST magazine.
I got challenged to make an image with the title "Rituals" from the magazine KUNST for their next issue. Since the age of 14, I have been writing "morning pages" every morning. They have changed in form over the years, but they do the same thing: trashing useless noise that the pervious day and night carries, this ritual helps making space for the new day.
