Femtensesse is thrilled to participate at Liste Art Fair Basel for the fourth time with a solo presentation of Eline McGeorge. Influenced by science-fiction, feminist heritage, and self-organisation as strategy, McGeorge’s work investigates democratic processes and environmental concerns. At Liste she presents recent work from her long-term research into climate and ecological change—spanning Colombia’s vast coal-mining landscapes that border one of the world’s richest bird habitats, the resilient succulents of a Namibian diamond extracted desert, and the seabird cliffs of Northern Norway and areas around the Oslofjord, where habitats are rapidly disappearing. These investigations materialize in a wide-spanning frieze painted with water-based oils and pigments ground from foraged fungi; shimmering tapestries that interlaces strips of emergency blankets with images of sea creatures, plants, and geological formations from deep-sea ecosystems; and double-page spreads from her notebooks, whose fluid watercolors act as intimate fieldnotes allowing motifs such as eyes, hands, leaves, and seeds to transform and merge. 

Eline McGeorge (b. 1970, Asker) lives and works in Oslo, Norway. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from Goldsmiths University of London. Recent solo exhibitions include to be part to be many and Fieldnotes – to be part to be many, at Kunstnerforbundet and Femtensesse, Oslo (2024); Here Between Worlds (2020), and On Joint Flight Lines (2018), Hollybush Gardens, London; and As Spaces Fold, Companions Meet, Oslo Kunstforening (2016). Her work has been featured in group exhibitions, such as The Hands that Shut the Sun, Hollybush Gardens (2025); the flies catch sight of us in the tall grass, Femtensesse, Oslo (2024); Our Silver City, 2094, Nottingham Contemporary (2021); Future Knowledge, Modern Art Oxford (2018); Rivers of Emotion, Bodies of Ore, Trondheim Kunsthall (2018); Ode to a washcloth, hymn to a tiger; Kunstnerforbundet, Oslo (2017) and Stavanger Kunsthall (2018); and We Are Living on a Star at Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Høvikodden (2014).
