About
Sam Jedig – Artistic Practice and Expanded Exhibition Spaces
Sam Jedig’s artistic practice spans over four decades and encompasses a wide range of media and strategies — from conceptual art and mask interventions to experiments with smoke, stamps, and national symbolism. At the core lies an inquiry into power, identity, and the image’s role in political and social space.
As part of this inquiry, Jedig has created his own exhibition platforms. In 1982, he founded Galleri Jedig, and in 1987, he co-founded Stalke Galleri, which he has directed ever since. More than just a gallery, Stalke has served as an extension of his artistic process — a place for experimentation, collaboration, and curatorial invention. It has allowed Jedig to present his own work in dialogue with others, always with a critical edge and conceptual depth.
Expanding the Frame: Stalke Out of Space and the Cube Project
One of the most important extensions of this practice is Stalke Out of Space — a flexible, nomadic exhibition project initiated as early as 2007 with the Cube Project. These projects rethink where and how art can be shown, moving beyond the gallery into museums, corporations, public sites, and unconventional architectural contexts.
The Cube Project functions both as an artistic method and curatorial container. Works such as Smoke Cube Paintingemerge from this framework, in which elements like wind, smoke, chemical pigments, and time shape the outcome. It is an open-ended process where material leads the way, and unpredictability becomes form.
A Work in Movement
In this expanded field, Stalke Galleri is not just a location — it becomes part of a system of works that move between art and context, between private studio and public space, between creation and presentation. Jedig’s work revolves around the image as a mirror, mask, or manipulation — always rooted in critical reflection, and always questioning the visual systems of power and belief.
