A Report on Detachment
An Exhibition by Isak Austin
The exhibition by Isak Austin revolves around the process of detachment. On view at Akademirommet are parts of a fresco that was first painted in Muralverkstedet 2025. The fresco has been detached from the wall using the conservation technique strappo. The method transfers the outermost pictorial layer of a fresco onto textile, allowing previously site-specific works to appear again in a new context.
