BRYNHILD BYE-TILLER is an artist based in Levanger, Norway, who works with photography, artist's books and participation, alternating between narrative expression, collecting and processing documentary material and activism, through socially-engaged methodologies. Recurrent themes in Bye-Tiller’s work include democracy, women’s rights and migration, with a focus on the politics of social justice and human rights issues. By working directly with diverse groups, Bye-Tiller opens both a space, and a process of reciprocal communication and exchange, whereby both participant and artist clarify aspects of their life, experience or environment, culminating in public, site-specific and sometimes ephemeral projects. Since recently relocating to rural Levanger, Bye-Tiller continues to work with participation, but in new ways that investigate Bakkan as a historical and material archive, and site of remembrance. Current projects (re)use excavated and found materials at Bakkan to explore connections between participation, sustainability, communities and the processing of grief, including Bye-Tillers’ latest site-specific exhibition «Best Before September» and «Felt Without An End», Bakkan, Levanger (2024). Bye-Tiller has exhibited across Scandinavia, Europe and broader global contexts, to include the Wergelandshaugen Art Center, Studio 44 Stockholm, Heimdal Art Association, Nord-Trøndelag Kunstmuseum, Nandor Mikola Gallery, Vaasa in the First Triennial of the Collaborative Arts in Finland, Al-Tireh street, Ramallah, Occupied West Bank, Palestine, KUNTSI, Museum of Modern Art Vaasa. Publications include several artist’s books including the latest #skyvtilbake1, #skyvtilbake2, #skyvtilbake 3 (2023), and as Co-founder and Chairman of the non-profit organization BEAT FFKK, Bye-Tiller continues the legacy of artist Eli Anne Tiller in support of female artists. In her role as cultural producer, and chairman of the regional Artist Union, Bye-Tiller has worked extensively to develop, support and promote artist-run organisations, including Trøndelag Senter for Samtidskunst, Trondheim and the Norwegian regional exhibition, Trøndelagsutstillinga, LevArt, Levanger municipality, and the art festival Trondheim Open, alongside Art in Nordland-Artistic Interruptions and Artscape Nordland, Nordland county.
