// Matias Faldbakken’s Box 1 from 2014 is a limited-edition lithograph that captures the utilitarian aesthetics of a flattened cardboard box. With subtle details like fold lines, barcodes, and minimal printed symbols, the artwork elevates the everyday material to a point of contemplation. The plain brown surface of the cardboard, slightly worn and marked, suggests themes of consumption, disposability, and industrial design. By bringing a mundane object into an art context, Faldbakken invites viewers to rethink the visual value and stories embedded in ordinary materials often discarded. The simplicity of the piece underscores his focus on minimalist expression and societal reflections on material culture.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
