About
My research focuses on questions of gender and diversity, post-colonialism and globalisation, technology and the arts, essentially in Nordic twentieth-century art and contemporary art and visual culture. Feminist perspectives on art history are a natural part of my work and, more recently, I have included museums. I was a research partner in interdisciplinary research projects on gender and aesthetics, Nordic art and globalisation, and currently, with Sigrun Åsebø, I lead the research project The Feminist Legacy in Art Museums.
Current research projects
The research project The Feminist Legacy in Art Museums (FLAME)(2020-2026) examines the representation of works by female artists in the collections of Norwegian museum collections. Our historical focus is the feminist art of the 1970s. This art represents a collective movement whose contribution to Norwegian art and cultural history has been overlooked. This is a cultural heritage problem. FLAME looks both critically at the museums' collecting practices and narratives and examines feminist art in a new light. Read more about our activities on the website HERE.
In the book project Women's Modernisms, I analyze works of art by women artists from early Danish modernism. Those who were born in the late eightteenth hundred and early nineteenth hundred and belonged to the young generation in the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s. They are in many ways the lost generation because they were the first generation of women to gain access to education at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and in 1915, the first generation to gain the right to vote. Yet, as a generation, they did not achieve art-historical recognition during the 20th century. By art historical recognition I mean, that they were not granted any significant roles in the national narrative of Danish art. Each of them did gain some recognition in their lifetime, but as women in a discursive environment dominated by men, they were challenged.
