  •  Geetanjali Prasad

    Geetanjali Prasad

    India

    Geetanjali Prasad (b. India 1994) is an Indian artist based in Norway with her studio practice at Kunstskansen Blaker. She employs a material-driven approach, working across printmaking, weaving, textile, text, film, installation, and collaborative approaches. She holds Masters degree both from Kunsthøgskolen i Oslo (2020) and Visva Bharati University (2018) in Shantiniketan India.

    Her ongoing practice investigates the layered realities of material, labor, and waste within the context of the global textile production industry. Through a research-driven process, she engages with themes of invisibilized labor, feminized work, and the labor of care, situating her practice at the intersection of social reflection and transformation.

    Her work has been shown at several art institutions such as Nitja senter for samtidskunst (Lillestrøm, Norway), Galleri OED (Cochin, India), Norske Grafikere (Oslo, Norway), Kunstnerforbundet (Oslo, Norway), Gallery Nye Bokboden (Bergen, Norway), Jyväskylä Art Museum (Jyväskylä, Finland) and Grafiska Sällskapet (Stockholm, Sweden).

Dissemination

Open studios

At regular intervals, open studios are arranged where the guest artists invite the public into the studios to meet the artists and see what they are working on.

Summer exhibition

Every year a curated art exhibition is arranged in Løa. Often it is former guest artists who are given this assignment. The exhibition is open every day, 24 hours a day from mid-May to early October and is free. There are about 2000 visitors to the exhibition every summer.

Nesch and the kids

We have a collaboration with the schools in Ål . This is a program where students have theoretical and practical instruction in art at the schools. The students come to the art studio with print-ready plates that they have prepared based on inspiration from Rolf Nesch. And in the graphic workshop they get help from a graphic artist to create their own print.
