MAKING SPACE AT THE RA

Making Space is the theme for this year’s Summer Exhibition at Royal Academy of Art. The summer exhibition is an annual event where co-ordinators from Royal Academy choose works from established as well as unknown artists in all media from the world’s largest open-submission contemporary art exhibition, and this year two spaces were given to Danish-born artists Trine Olrik and Carina Traberg.

Trine Olrik is represented with her cardboard work entitled ‘Sliding’. It is a unique set-up with buildings, houses and various objects presented in a colorful manner. Trine is also based in London, where studies at the Royal Academy and at Chelsea College of Art and Design. She has had several shows and exhibitions both in Copenhagen and throughout the UK since her graduation in 1996.

Carina Traberg will be represented with her photo collage ‘The World Takes Over’. Traberg is based in London but enjoys traveling and focuses on the modern life of architecture and alternative worlds. She embraces modernism, city life and culture which are visible elements in her more recent collages. Traberg studied art in both Denmark and the UK, furthermore, she had an external study period in Turkey. Traberg has also taken part in solo and group exhibitions across Europe.
