Biography

Annelise Josefsen was born on 2 October 1949 in Hammerfest.[3] She grew up in Sæterfjord in the neighboring Kvalsund Municipality in Finnmark.[4] Her family ancestry is Seaside Sami.

Josefsen began her education at the Sami Folk High School in Karasjok. She then studied textile work at Finnmark homecraft school in Lakselv before furthering her training as an artist at the Western Academy of Fine Arts in Bergen (1979-1983).[5] [6] [7]

On the occasion of her 60th birthday in 2009, she was invited to hold a separate exhibition in the Sami artist center, entitled "Dream and Deception".[8] On 5 February 2017 the SDS opened the art exhibition ÁIGEMÁTKI (TIME TRAVEL) in Kraftbyen in Trondheim Municipality, as part of Tråante 2017. The exhibition shows works by 21 Sami artists from Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Josefsen was one of the artists represented at the exhibition. After exhibiting in Trondheim, the works traveled to other exhibition venues in the three countries.[9] In the same month, Norges Bank issued a 20-krone coin with a Sami motif in connection with Sámi Assembly of 1917, the 100th anniversary of the first national meeting of the same people. The coin was designed by Josefsen, who in 2016 won a competition for this assignment.[10] [11]

Josefsen lives and works in Kokelv, Revsbotten, Finnmark.[12]

Following input from the Sami Parliament and the Sami Artists' Association, Norges Bank invited seven artists to a competition for designing the anniversary motif on the back of the coin. The front of the 20 crown will be like before, marked by King Harald V. The winner of the competition was visual artist Annelise Josefsen, from Kokelv in Finnmark, with the motif "Interaction". "Interaction" is meant to symbolize the interaction of forces. The symbols are taken from Sami mythology, and freely put together after many characters from the rune bar, a Sami drum instrument. Minor adjustments can be made to the design before the coin is put into production..

At the main entrance to the fair, at one end of a pedestrian street that extends through the camp, the sculpture Fairgrounds is located. Three slightly abstracted girl figures sit on a large, round stone outside the fair. In 2011, the same artist was commissioned to create a new work of art at the other end of the pedestrian street. The new work is entitled The Support Troop, and is located in a busy intersection where people pass on their way to work. The three abstracted male figures are made of lddefjord granite. The pedestals protect them from snow and slack in the winter, and in the long darkness they are illuminated by the street lights around. Two of the Armored Battalion soldiers tell the newspaper Nordlys that they like the new work of art: “Art in a military camp is positive. The name sounds good, and is enough to honor us in match support..
