Andrea Bakketun is a visual artist (born 1983, Trondheim, NO), living and working in Oslo, Norway. She obtained her BFA at the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam (2008) and an MFA from the Academy of Fine Art in Oslo (2013).
Bakketun’s artistic practice involves video, installation, performance, sculpture and text. By observing and translating energies, changes and decay present in our physical environment, she examines the presence of the Laws of Nature, and how they interfere with our lives. Simultaneously her work is coming from a strong fascination for the impalpable human mind, and an interest in the tactics we employ to systematise and understand the surrounding forces, being it through science or metaphysics.
Collaborations and self-initiated exhibitions also constitute an important part of Bakketun’s artistic practice.
Bakketun has presented solo shows at Kunstnerforbundet, Oslo; Oslo Kunstforening, Oslo; Kunsthaus Essen, Essen; TSSK, Trondheim; Edvard Munch’s studio at Ekely, Oslo and Il Stile, Berlin. Her work has been shown in a number of group shows in Norway and abroad, including «Pattern Drill», Hacienda, Zürich; «Parkplatstreffen III», Kunstverein St.Pauli, Hamburg, «Dating Service», Autocenter, Berlin; «Kopie - Documented Now», De Brakke Grond, Amsterdam; «The Quick Brown Fox…», Akershus Kunstsenter, Lillestrøm; «The Autumn Exhbition», Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo, «Contstant.Decay», RAKE, Trondheim, «Et kollektivt kaosmos», Kunsthall Oslo and «Wildlife Sculpture Park», Akershus.
In 2012 Bakketun (together with Silje L. Haaland) initiated the project «Five thousand generations of birds», an exhibition in Fitjarøyene, an archipelago off the west coast of Norway, where 16 international artists where invited to work and exhibit on their own islets.
Bakketun also initiated and produced the one year long exhibition project «Grand Complications» in and around the Old Rommen School in Oslo.
