ARTIST WEBSITE 

"Linda Tegg's body of work is a prime example of the quest to discover new land and provoke new encounters between audiences, curators, and artists. We are convinced that we have to conduct our search in places far away from old patterns of thinking, so that we can change or break the established rules, the rules that led us to where we are now. That is exactly what Linda Tegg does."
