Regarding the Pain of the Future / Hilde Honerud
The world is in a state of multiple, existential crises. Our response includes any and all forms of immediate rescue, preparedness, and prevention. In the exhibition Regarding the Pain of the Future, Hilde Honerud, has examined a broad range of themes and locations related to the tense situation of the globe.
She has photographed bioreactors for new antibiotics, fire- and rescue preparedness exercises, wildflower seed farming, geothermal energy, water reservoir draught, ice glacier covers, wildfire aftermath, anxiety and withdrawal, EKG, precision fermenting “artificial” food, organic farming and more. The dangers and possibilities of the future are complex, contradictory, and difficult to keep in eyesight and to act on, Honerud reflects an ambition to try.
Hilde H. Honerud (b. 1977), living in Kongsberg, Norway, is a visual artist and associate professor of photography at the University of South-Eastern Norway. Her thematic content is close to journalistic, but the motifs are far from classic and often abstract. Through a formal approach, she investigates how precarious political and social conditions can be experienced through the everyday and recognizable.
Honerud has recently exhibited at Les Rencontres d'Arles, CHART Art Fair, MELK, Nord-Trøndelag Art Museum, QB Gallery, Nitja Center for Contemporary Art, Kristiansand Kunsthall, and more. She has been awarded the title of county artist in Buskerud and has participated several times in juried national exhibitions.
She studied at Napier University in Scotland and at the Academy of Fine Arts, (MA) in Oslo. Honerud has been actively involved in building up the Kongsberg Art Association's exhibition program and sits on the board of the voluntary organization Yoga and Sports with Refugees in Greece. She served on FFF's scholarship committee in 2022/23, as chair in 2022. She is on the National Jury for 2024/25 and leads the research group Research in Art and Design at the University of South-Eastern Norway.
