B Ingrid Olson

B. Ingrid Olson probes the boundaries between body and space through a hybrid practice that interweaves photography, sculpture, and performance. In her photographs, she stages fragmented views of her own body—torso, legs, arms—often cropped, mirrored, or obscured through blurring to weaken the distinction between subject and surrounding architecture. These images unfold as visual interventions on perception, where control over visibility becomes a core conceptual device. Her sculptural reliefs—carved using CNC machines from MDF or foam, then sanded and painted by hand—evoke bodily fragments without literal representation. Hung at heights correlating to anatomical reference points, these minimal forms react subtly to light and shadow, creating a disorienting sense of presence and absence. Their concave surfaces reference flesh, armor, or molds, underscoring the tension between mechanical precision and bodily intimacy. Olson’s installations orchestrate a dynamic interplay between viewers, bodies, and architecture, often responding to site-specific spatial conditions. Her work invites reflection on how our bodies are mediated—seen or unseen—within constructed environments, offering a poetic yet critical investigation into anatomy, visibility, and spatial identity. ...

In 2016 Croy Nielsen moved from Berlin to Vienna, where it is located in the beletage apartment of a historical building in the 1st district. The gallery was founded by Oliver Croy (AT) and Henrikke Nielsen (DK). Artists such as Nina Beier, Marie Lund, and Benoît Maire, have been part of the program since its inception, and were later joined by Olga Balema, Georgia Gardner Gray, and Sandra Mujinga. Vienna-based artists include Ernst Yohji Jaeger, Joanna Woś, and Soshiro Matsubara. The gallery has strong ties to the Nordic region, representing several artists from the Scandinavian contries and regularly participating in fairs and projects in the area. ...
