1st press-release


I´m ready to publish my first press-release which I wrote in september 2011 for Galeri Fisk in Bergen. Thanks to Peter van Dijk who took the time to have a look on it. 
This is the result:

Lena Paschen is studying FineArts in the last year of the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Utrecht.
Paschen´s work concentrates on the perception of time and place. In her installations she aims to evoke a specific awareness of the moment and the space surrounding us.
Paschen is curious about the way we value everyday moments, how it easily becomes a matter of course to take our surroundings for granted. In our daily lives lots of information is discarded and filtered out. Through her installations Paschen wants to analyse and emphasize this kind of information, in order to offer the spectator a chance to perceive the ordinary again.
Paschen mostly finds her inspiration in outstanding combinations of objects/forms/colours/sounds with a coincidental and sometimes comical or magical association. She researches different possibilities to present these elements in a new way by placing them in a new context and through playing with contrasts and tensions.
Depending on the occasion her installations consist of found objects, sculptures, photography, video and sound.
In gallery fisk Lena Paschen presents a sound-installation which evokes a familiar impression but the inherent logic is not logical at all.

The good thing is that with some changes it´s still up to date as an artist statement. 
Soon the official official artist statement. 
And more pictures.
