Catalogue

Sara Lindqvist and Karim Haddad have worked on the same Oslo floor for ten years, exchanging materials and conversation without previously sharing an exhibition. Here, twenty-four works are installed in alternating pairs so that her structured fields and his mobile figures continually interrupt one another.

Both artists made this group of paintings during the same winter. Weather, studio noise and a limited shared palette became informal points of reference. Their catalogue records the season through a sequence of letters written between the two rooms.

The exhibition unfolds as one continuous line through the Oslo space. On the final Saturday, Lindqvist and Haddad lead a free walkthrough focused on the choices behind the pairings.
