Therapeutic Coverage by Anna Ihle
La Box - Galerie d'art contemporain, ENSA
Studija is pleased to collaborate with La Box (Bourges, France) in presenting a solo show Therapeutic Coverage by Norwegian artist Anna Ihle .The artist explores norms and narratives that shape how people in Scandinavia organise their lives, particularly through work ideals, wellness routines, and parenthood—often in the form of sculpture and conversation. Therapeutic Coverage takes as a departure point a conceptual exploration of wellness culture, therapeutic practices and traditional treatments for wooden surfaces. The project has developed over a longer time span through a collaboration between Ihle and Latvian curator Maija Rudovska, who both, affected by Covid-19, were conversing about con-spirituality and artistic practice, which gradually shaped the project. Ihle spent a month in Studija residency in 2024 to develop her work and learn surface treatment techniques by local, Kuldīga based craftsmen.
The exhibition is created in collaboration with Buskerud Kunstsenter (Norway) and Studija Space (Latvia). It is supported by La Box, Office for Contemporary Art Norway (OCA), Arts Council Norway.
Curator: Maija Rudovska
