Works by Ida Ekblad and Albert Oehlen are included in When I’m In My Painting, a group exhibition at The Twist, Kistefos Museum, Jevnaker. Taking its title from Jackson Pollock’s well-known reflection on becoming fully immersed in the act of creation, the exhibition foregrounds the moment when making becomes inseparable from meaning. It traces how contemporary abstract artists navigate the shifting space between intention and spontaneity, testing the boundaries of mark, movement and surface.

Albert Oehlen’s work is included in Post-Atomic Abstraction, a collection presentation in room 203 at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. During the final years of the Cold War and in the decades that followed, artists in Germany and the United States faced a brave – and contradictory – new world. The presentation brings together artists’ responses to this period of transition, where the push and pull between the prewar and post-atomic worlds fostered novel paths toward abstraction.

Albert Oehlen’s monumental sculpture Ömega Man, 2023, is now on view to the public in Weidingen, where it emerges from the vast landscape of the Südeifel. Its simplified form and slightly raised steel bars, recessed into their concrete casting, evoke the lightness of a drawing. Here, the persistent importance of the line in Oehlen’s work becomes evident, appearing simultaneously curved and controlled. In this work, the artist uses elements which are both abstract and figurative to critically examine the history and conventions of contemporary art, all the while continuing to acknowledge the importance of classical models. Massive yet fragile in its isolation, Oehlen’s Ömega Man appears like a monument from the future. Omega, the last letter of the Greek alphabet, is here written with an umlaut, thereby referring to the artist’s own name.
