Kelly Reemtsen + Derick Melander
A Collaborative Exhibition.
We’re thrilled to invite you to the opening of our upcoming show at Galleri Oxholm. This collaborative project is a celebration of artistic dialogue—an exploration of how different materials, techniques, and perspectives can come together to create something entirely new.
Through our partnership, we’re inviting viewers into a shared space of discovery, where the boundaries between our worlds dissolve and re-form into a fresh, unified vision.
About Kelly | About Galleri Oxholm
Here’s how one of our collaborations unfolded:
We started out by going through my archive. Kelly decided to make a new painting inspired by Drift Companion (2011), shown below.
Kelly created Shape Shifter 1 (a detail is shown below), drawing from the color scheme in Drift Companion. It was done in her signature style, and if you look closely, you’ll see that the chainsaw lends a touch of reflected color to the dress.
I responded with Hem (Green Chainsaw), a sculpture inspired by the dress in Kelly’s painting.
Our collaboration has gone back and forth like this—similar to a game of catch.
This new sculpture is made from folded shirt sleeves and pant legs, sourced from my second-hand clothing archive. It comes with a custom acrylic case for safe keeping.
More info about the work I created can be found here.
