Jan Christensen (Norway)

Studio 11
August - November 2005
Painting/sculpture/installation/mixed media/curatorial practice
Jan Christensen’s work consists mostly of big installations for exhibitions and site-specific projects. Most of his work is wall drawing and painting, it is carefully planned out and sketched with a computer before it is meticulously carried out on location. Like his previous residencies at the Villa Arson in Nice and IASPIS in Stockholm, Jan hopes to use his time at IMMA to execute large on-going work, preferably a mural in the studio and additional experimental works. Jan uses a wide scope of visual references in his work from architectural plans to iconic imagery from pop culture. He is also influenced greatly by Franz Ackerman is showing at IMMA during his time on residence.
