The jury gives the following reasoning for awarding the prize to Linge Haaland:

"The jury of the Lorck Schive Art Prize 2025 has decided to award the prize to Silje Linge Haaland. The jury appreciated the role that text and linguistic games play in her artistic work, serving as material for video works, poetry books and objects. Silje Linge Haaland's work truly belongs to our times, combining personal observations with reflections on the geopolitical and technological challenges of the present day. The jury appreciates the artist's technical sophistication and the material form of her research, on social relations, language, nature and (dis)information, takes. Silje Linge Haaland's art embodies the fragmentary nature of our vision and perception, translating it into hypnotising form and narrative. Poetry, sculpture and film constitute a coherent artistic statement, always referring to language and illustrating the complex nature of our understanding of the world. As such, it allows us to look deeper into the future, even if it might be petrified with toxic glue, as the plants used in Haaland's installation."

The Lorck Schive Art Prize is Norway's largest art prize. The purpose of the award is to create debate and interest in contemporary art by honoring outstanding artists. The exhibition and award ceremony are held at Trondheim kunstmuseum every other year. The Lorck Schive Art Prize is a collaboration between Christian Lorck Schive and Spouse Trust and Trondheim kunstmuseum. The first award was presented in 2013, with the award being shared between Marianne Heier and Lene Berg. Other previous recipients have been Vanessa Baird (2015), Vibeke Tandberg (2017), Eline Mugaas (2019), Steinar Haga Kristensen (2021) and Joar Nango (2023). 

The other nominees were Anawana Haloba, Marthe Ramm Fortun, and Toril Johannessen, and an exhibition with works by all the candidates will be on display at Trondheim Kunstmuseum until 4 January, 2026.

Gjennom skulpturelle intervensjoner tar Die Pleite utgangspunkt i konkursboets logikk og etikk for å åpne en dialog med Kunstnernes Hus’ historie og arkitektur.

(A taste of thoughts on pieces of the Museum chewed through Linsters own practice)

This year The Museum of Unheard (of) Things marks its 25th anniversary. Taking a long weekend seems appropriate. A large selection of the museum collection is brought to Oslo and installed in the spirit of the Museum situated in Berlin. Van Etten, also a Celebrant marking its 5th year, is very pleased to be the host. 

Museum der Unerhörten Dinge is a "Literary Cabinet of Curiosities" by Roland Albrecht, located between house numbers 5 and 6 on Crellestraße in Schöneberg, Berlin. The museum displays unique objects and their unheard (of) stories, all categorized according to weight, and holds the record of being the most visited museum in Berlin (if one offsets the number of visitors to the square meters of the exhibition space).
