Summary

Since the mid-1990s, Norwegian artists Annette and Caroline Kierulf have practised "woodcut as cultural critique," reviving this traditional medium as a tool for social commentary. Their work uses the visual simplicity of woodcut to explore and question social, economic, and cultural shifts in high-tech societies. Caroline's pieces draw on pop culture and folk art to highlight overlooked daily life, while Annette offers a feminist reinterpretation of landscape art. This publication delves into their creative processes and decades-long collaboration.

Description

Since the mid-1990s, Annette and Caroline Kierulf have practised what they themselves call "woodcut as cultural critique". Drawing on the medium's rich history as a means of communication and protest, the Norwegian artists strive to revive woodcut as a discursive tool.

With subtle humour, the sisters use the visual reductiveness of the low-tech medium to critically reflect on the social, economic, and cultural changes shaping our high-tech societies. Incorporating references to pop culture and folk art, Caroline Kierulf's work explores the often overlooked aspects of everyday life, while Annette Kierulf focuses on a feminist reinterpretation of the landscape genre.

The publication provides insights into the artists' production and working methods, as well as their longstanding collaboration.
