Victoria Browne

WorksResearchAboutContact

Victoria Browne (f. 1978) bor i Oslo. Sin kunstpraksis utforsker hun det hverdagslige miljøet i det norske kulturlandskapet. Hun arbeider med grafikk i skjæringspunktet mellom taus kunnskap, maskinverktøy og digital teknologi. Spesielt for å undersøke fargens materialitet og trykkmatrisens agens.

Browne utstiller internasjonalt, publiserer kunstnerisk forskning og underviser på Kunsthøgskolen i Oslo. Iterasjoner av hennes kunstverk har nylig blitt utstilt i Antwerpen, Bristol, Bergen, Berlin, Hong Kong, Krakow, London og Oslo. Grafikken og kunstnerbøkene hennes finnes i internasjonale samlinger som Nasjonalmuseet, MoMA Library, Tate Library og V&A.

Victoria Browne (1978) lives in Oslo. Her artistic practice reflects the vernacular environment of our cultural landscape. She works with printmaking at the intersection of tacit knowledge, machine tools and digital technology, to investigate the materiality of colour and agency of the print matrix.

Browne exhibits internationally, publishes artistic research and teaches at Oslo National Academy of the Arts. Iterations of her artwork have recently been exhibited in Antwerp, Bristol, Bergen, Berlin, Hong Kong, Krakow, London and Oslo. Her prints and artists' books are held in international collections including Nasjonalmuseet, MoMA Library, Tate Library, and the V&A.
