In Color Kinesthesia, Senstad’s photography captures light and color as pure, independent phenomena, drawing on influences from Kazimir Malevich’s non-objective essence and Platonic philosophy. Her images align with the tradition of reductive abstraction, where simplicity and purity are paramount, stripping away extraneous details to focus on the essential. Light in Senstad’s work is not just a medium but the "visual absolute," a dynamic force that embodies both material and metaphysical qualities.
Senstad’s practice invites viewers to reconsider their perceptions, encouraging a deeper engagement with the intangible and profound aspects of reality. Her photography challenges traditional notions of materiality and representation, presenting light and color as dynamic, ever-changing phenomena that evoke sensory and emotional responses.
Anne Katrine Senstad is a multi-disciplinary artist based between New York and Oslo. Her work spans photography, film, neon sculpture, and light-based installations, with a focus on perception, light, sound, and color. She has exhibited globally, including at the 55th and 56th Venice Biennale, Bruges Art and Architecture Trienniale, He Xiangning Art Museum, and Kai Art Center. Senstad has received numerous grants, including the Norwegian Governmental Grant for Established Artists. In 2022, her monograph NEON GUIDES ME was published on Praun & Guermouche books, Stockholm.
Color Kinesthesia at IFAC Arts offers a visual meditation on the sensory and emotional experiences that define our interaction with the world, showcasing Senstad’s ability to capture the fleeting, the intangible, and the profound.

The Conceptual Olympiad at the Château de Montsoreau – Museum of Contemporary Art, inspired by the innovative spirit of the Paris 2024 Olympics, transforms the historic château into a nexus of avant-garde ideas and artistic exploration. Emerging and established artists converge in this picturesque Loire Valley setting, redefining the boundaries of contemporary art through a conceptual challenge conjured up by Philippe Méaille and Marie Caroline Chaudruc, with Lara Pan as a consultant on the project. As participants engage with themes ranging from cultural identity to environmental stewardship, the château pushes the boundaries of traditional art exhibitions by inviting a global community of artists to participate.
Philippe Méaille about the Art & Language’s “A Bad Place” installation:
“In 2018, we installed a monumental work by Art & Language titled A BAD PLACE in the courtyard of the Chateau de Montsoreau – Museum of Contemporary Art. It could signify “we are A Bad Place”, that the place we are in is “A Bad Place”, or that art is “A Bad Place”. For some reason, it became a motto. We are more than happy to welcome people here to keep the discussion of art alive."

On Light, Sound and the Experimental - with Anne Katrine Senstad and Jerry Therio
Good Children Gallery is pleased to present a conversation on Light, Sound, and the Experimental, with artist Anne Katrine Senstad and Jerry Therio of New Orleans Neon and the New Orleans Neon Art Museum, on the occasion of Senstad's solo exhibition Mal Educación, curated by Christopher Saucedo.
New Orleans native Jerry Therio is a legendary neon artist, innovator and neon collector who has collected, restored and designed neon since 1978. He uses neon, new and vintage, as a medium for fine art, in full scale art installations and gallery exhibitions that have earned critical acclaim. Therio has produced neon for theatre, performance, and numerous movie sets filmed in New Orleans. He has created neon for New Orleans Carnival Krewes’ floats, such as Endymion, Bacchus, and Orpheus, as well as improvisational site specific neon installations for public art, and “Neon Sound Performances” in collaboration with jazz musicians and groups such as Sun Ra Arkestra and Kool and the Gang.
Anne Katrine Senstad is a Norwegian interdisciplinary artist based between New York and Oslo. Her practice includes installation art, spatial light sculpture and site specificity, photography, video and film, and text based art, with a focus on the phenomena of perception and the cognitive system in response to the properties of light, sound, and color. She is concerned with sensorial aesthetics and ethics - the transformative and transcendental ideas of art and philosophical practice. Mal Educación is the second solo exhibition by Norwegian artist Anne Katrine Senstad at Good Children Gallery as part of her ongoing research project, Capitalism in the Public Realm. The exhibition explores the intersection between light and text to address critical subjects of ethics, agency, citizenry, and allegory.

Årets siste utstilling, Konstellasjoner (Noël), er en kollektiv presentasjon av en gruppe kunstnere som på hver sin måte evner å berøre, og begeistre. Gjennom ulike medier som maleri, fotografi og neon, evner de å male med lys, slippe det inn på gløtt og i strimer på forunderlig, og forlokkende vis. De forvandler sorg og ensomhet til poesi og skjønnhet. Lyset som kraft, energi og kjærtegn, profant og kanskje litt sakralt, er en gylden tråd som binder utstillingen sammen i en dialog mellom verk og mellom verk og visningsrom. På samme måte er fargen et vakkert fundamet; i usynlige overganger, todelte kontraster, stablet på hverandre, i lag på lag, eller i biter av mosaikk.
Den tradisjonellle julefeiringen handler gjerne om å ta frem det gildeste av alt; duker, dekktøy, levende lys, klær og gaver. Konstellasjoner (Noël) er feiring av lys og varme, med rom for refleksjon og ettertanke, et møte mellom kunst og publikum, der de fineste verk henger på vegg og skulpturer er varsom plassert på sokler.
Mørketiden vekker lengsler om lys, hvor lyset blir et symbol på bedre tider. Snart snur solen, la oss håpe på mer lys på den andre siden av vår lille verden også

SKOG ART SPACE - NORWAY
SKOG Art Space is not a gallery, not a studio,
not a collection, but something unique in between.
SKOG means FOREST in Norwegian.
The Winter Exhibition 2023
December 8 2023 - January 13, 2024
The Winter Exhibition at SKOG, presents
six artists, each with a distinct and clear
sense of expression. The artists are in different
phases of their artistic practice, ranging
from an art student to established artists.
However, they all have in common a clear
sense of composition with a unified thematic
concern with the human form, cognition
and expression. Through media such as
sculpture, painting, collage, photography
and printmaking, the exhibition shows
a narrative exploration of themes as
body, memory, materiality and perception.

Annihilation of the question compels praxis

Capitalism is a religion that recognizes neither truce nor redemption
Walter Benjamin, 1921
Mal Educación is the second solo exhibition by Norwegian artist Anne Katrine Senstad at Good Children Gallery as part of her ongoing research project, Capitalism in the Public Realm. The exhibition explores the intersection between light and text to address critical subjects of ethics, agency, citizenry, and allegory.
Playing on the novelty of language, Mal Educación presents a sublime critique of capitalism and our contemporary crises through text-based works in Arabic, Chinese, English, German, Russian and Spanish. Here, Senstad invokes the aesthetic value systems of various languages in deconstructing the expression La Mala Educación. In effect Senstad interprets Wittgenstein’s language game and word-meaning, whereby language is defined by the actions into which it is woven. The exhibition title is drawn from Spanish film director Pedro Almodóvar's 2004 film, Bad Education, which portrays how institutions of power oppress the disenfranchised and marginalized.
Inspired by Almodóvar's acuity, Senstad’s text works are intended to motivate ethical considerations of the moral zeitgeist. They examine the alterations of our value systems wrought by financial greed and corporate power. Senstad’s work compels place in a consumerist society – as well as how to resuscitate a shared humanity in the spectre of war and posthumanism. Through light and color, art can open the discourse on the hidden value systems underlying society and the culture at large.
For the center-piece of the exhibition, Senstad returns to a poetic evocation of ethics that her work has explored in the past, Gold Guides Me — a neon text work in Arabic calligraphy transliterated in the artist's handwriting. Those familiar with Senstad’s oeuvre will identify the reference to her monumental work commissioned by the Bruges Art and Architecture Triennale in Belgium in 2015 where said phrase was presented in latin alphabet letters scaled after the Hollywood sign. Gold Guides Me capitalizes on the phrase, Hope Guides Me from the 6th century poet and statesman Boethius’s The Consolation of Philosophy — a valediction for Lady Philosophy of life’s vagaries and vicissitudes as conjured by the author while imprisoned and awaiting execution. In exchanging “Hope” with “Gold” Senstad’s wordplay invokes the ontological forces underlying institutions of power, oppression, and greed.
Consistent with this narrative, Senstad’s text-based video installation, Money Above All – Russian Version (2022) by the artist’s holding company-as-art-work, GGM Holdings, is part of her activistic web project issuing not-for-sale NFTs of corporate-military aesthetics and text-based art that critique the current era’s war climate and the arms industry. With the diptych text piece Liquid Assets in Chinese and English (2020-2023) in dialogue with the static neon sculpture Ascension/Descension Graph X, (2023), Senstad addresses the notion of a human being’s intrinsic value in the context of financial and corporate scaling systems. Further, the sculptural abstraction Portal for Perpetuity VII, (2023) intimates nature's perpetual cycle of regeneration and how mankind’s present grappling with notions of scarcity and of infinity through scientific progress and technological innovations continue to advance the human enterprise.
And as the ideological debates of said human enterprise continue into the twenty-first century, as alternative value systems are posited in response to class divisions wrought by an acceleration of the Anthropocene, Senstad returns to Marx with IST-MARX MARX-IST, (2023), a play on the German word “ist” invoking Shakespeare’s famous line from Hamlet, (Act 3, Scene 1) — ”To be or not to be” —to elucidate the famous ideologues’ impact on today’s existential struggle between freedom, human rights and civil rights.
Senstad’s ongoing research project Capitalism in the Public Realm is presented in depth on the platform Capitalism in the Public Realm in dialogue with the exhibition.
