Theory
"I use art to express views on contemporary society. Some works are executed as exercises in arts-based research. Artworks developed as practical visualizations of reserach theories and methods can also function outside of academia as independent results to be experienced in art exhbitions."
- Liv Fjellsol, 2023.
The visual artist and theoretician continuously attends interdisciplinary lectures and seminars, and maintains her passion for music and culture, to combine a general urge for lifelong learning while developing her works. The pandemic social distance requirements delayed several of Fjellsol's beloved international cooperations and allowed time restart university studies to dig even deeper into theory. The studies inspired new works of art, resulted in passing the following courses and writing articles to be developed further:
