Marte Aas - Sitters, Angle 16°

Angle 16° by Marte Aas Sitters 14,8 x 20 cm 24 pages Offset print Edition of 300, numbered   Marte Aas is the founder of Multipress, the publisher of the  Angle  series. In  Sitters  she shows a series of portraits of Norwegian artists – most of them naked or more or less undressed. They have assumed their postures after trying them out in collaboration with Aas – in the artists’ studios, in exhibition spaces or other art-specific contexts. In two of them we see artists in action at the Vigeland Museum – heroic and monumental representations of the human body resonate in the background. In other places the naked artist’s body is more indirectly present, reflected in a picture surface or represented by a hand grasping a sculpture.
