- **Event Name**: Utstillingsåpning: The Northern Filter
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 27 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Velkommen til åpningen av utstillingen The Northern Filter av Wendi Xie. I denne utstillingen undersøker Xie den romantiserte forestillingen om det nordiske sublime og hvordan den formes gjennom personlige og kulturelle linser. Gjennom glassblåsing, grafikk og ovnsforming samler hun visuelle fragmenter fra tiden sin i Norge: flyplasskorridorer, bilvinduer, skiftende vær, hverdagslige møter og flyktige glimt av landskap. Disse inntrykkene har flere lag, som smeltes sammen og innkapsles i glass, slik at materialet selv blir et slags filter.

Snarere enn å fungere som dokumentasjon av et sted, blir bildene konstruksjoner – formet gjennom avstand, minner og forventninger. Utstillingen stiller et enkelt, men resonnerende spørsmål: Når vi ankommer et nytt sted, ser vi det egentlig, eller projiserer vi våre egne lengsler på landskapet?


Wendi Xie (f. 1989) bor og arbeider i dag i Shenzhen og Dongguan i Kina. Hun jobber med skulptur, billedkunst og stedsspesifikke installasjoner, med glass som sitt sentrale materielle språk. I arbeidene sine kombinerer hun håndverk med transformasjon av industrielle readymades og skaper former som er stramt konstruert, men bærer en dempet emosjonalitet. Arbeidene hennes finnes i flere offentlige samlinger, som Shanghai Museum of Glass, Chinese University of Hong Kong og Suqian Museum of Glass. Xie har vært gjestekunstner hos S12 i januar og februar og har utviklet The Northern Filter i verkstedet.

You’re invited to the opening of The Northern Filter, a new exhibition by Wendi Xie. The project looks at the romanticised idea of the Nordic sublime and how it is shaped through personal and cultural lenses. Working across glassblowing, printmaking, and kiln-forming, Xie gathers visual fragments collected during her time in Norway: airport corridors, car windows, shifting weather, everyday encounters and fleeting glimpses of landscape. These impressions are layered, fused, and suspended within glass, turning the material itself into a kind of filter.

Rather than functioning as records of a place, the images become constructions — shaped by distance, memory and expectation. The exhibition asks a simple but resonant question: when we arrive somewhere new, do we truly see it, or do we use the landscape as a vessel for our own longings?

Xie (b. 1989), based between Shenzhen and Dongguan, works with sculpture, imagery and site-specific installation, with glass at the core of her practice. Her work draws on both craft and the transformation of industrial readymades, resulting in forms that are structurally exact yet quietly emotional. Her pieces are held in public collections including the Shanghai Museum of Glass, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Suqian Museum of Glass. She has been artist-in-residence at S12 Galleri og Verksted through January and February, developing The Northern Filter on site.
Please join us for the opening from 18:00 to 20:00.
