Just in time for the final days of the map-themed exhibition, I traveled to Rejmyre to give an artist talk. These are my “future islands”, submerged landmasses resting on the floor of the Arctic Ocean, based on data collected by Oden’s multibeam sonar.

Working on a drawing based on deep-sea mappings of the Molloy Ridge – an area that we traversed during the polar expedition with Oden in 2023. Together with Jon Brandt, I have envisioned this dramatic underwater landscape as future islands. A mountain peak now resting far below the water's surface.

Kulturella och kreativa branscher, skav eller tillgång? Den stora frågan. Vi får se vart den leder oss den 12 mars 8.30-9.30. Vad bidrar KKB med för konstnärer? Skapar det vidgade försörjningsmöjligheter? Blir det fler uppdrag via politikområdet KKB? Hur påverkas den konstnärliga friheten?

Leverans till Hornstulls bokhandel! Hoppas vi ses på tisdag kl 18.
”Ida Rödéns nya bok utgör en samling bilder och texter från en polarexpedition på isbrytaren Oden. Hennes konstnärliga tolkning av det isolerade livet ombord sätter både tiden och den mänskliga existensen i ett nytt ljus.”
"On Tuesday, February 11th at 6 PM, Ida Rödén will talk about her book Artist of Melt, a watercolor diary from a polar expedition. The evening will feature a conversation between Ida Rödén and Johan Pettersson, artist, curator, and head of the art program at the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat."

Artist of Melt (Arvinius+Orfeus) chronicles my Arctic journey. Aboard the icebreaker Oden in Spring 2023, I painted daily for 40 days, capturing life on the ice – researchers’ work, crew routines, and the Arctic landscape. Each page offers a glimpse into this frozen, timeless world. #artbook
