Paula Tove Alderin

Paula Tove Alderin is a multidisciplinary artist whose work engages with the dual nature of becoming and destruction, operating in the threshold between language, matter, and embodied experience. Drawing on experiences of the body, rawness, and beauty, she explores fleeting states of transition in both space and thought in Shed – Horizons of Rawness, her first exhibition at the gallery.

Beyond the horizon, the familiar dissolves and something else begins: an in-between space where the raw, the unprocessed, and the unformed start to take shape. Here, formless potential encounters direct, unfiltered experience—a state of chaos, wildness, and possibility where the ephemeral leaves traces. The exhibition interweaves existential experience with the global upheavals of our time, approaching rawness as an unstable interval in which matter, form, and meaning both emerge and dissolve. Through a practice that brings together visual art and performative actions, Alderin explores the liminal and the transient, processes of becoming and destruction, and how these questions also carry political dimensions. Her works move between restrained and expressive gestures within expanded painting, sculpture, collage, light, and site-specific installations.
