Candida Höfer: Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein in Dialogue with the Collections of Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein and the Hilti Art Foundation 30.9.2022 – 10.4.2023
"For the first time, Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein and the Hilti Art Foundation are presenting a jointly conceived, integrated exhibition.
The focus is on Candida Höfer's photographs, which she has created especially for this show. She mostly photographed the subjects with a large-format digital camera at various locations in Liechtenstein: interior and exterior views of the museums' architecture, libraries or storage, which serve cultural purposes in both narrow and broad senses. In this way they form part of the groups of subjects for which Höfer has become known. Her photographs are juxtaposed in a dialogue with selected artworks from the two collections.
An acclaimed artist and a member of the Düsseldorf 'Becher School', Höfer (b. 1944), has previously created a number of site-specific groups of images, for example in Brussels or Düsseldorf; her series created in and for Liechtenstein continues this tradition.
A production of Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein and the Hilti Art Foundation curated by Christiane Meyer-Stoll, Letizia Ragaglia and Uwe Wieczorek."Candida Höfer, Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein Vaduz VII 2021 © Candida Höfer, Cologne / 2022, ProLitteris, Zurich

Sara Korshøj Christensen is part of the group exhibition "BEND IT" at Atelier Nord
Opening Thursday, 9 June 2022, 7 pm
"BEND IT is a celebration of queer art in the form of exhibition and concerts that encompass visual art, performance and music. By queer art we mean art that challenges norms related to gender, sexuality and identity. Often this art can include perspectives that have been overlooked and marginalized.
By contrasting recent queer art with queer art from the past, BEND IT shows how artists of different backgrounds have contributed towards placing diversity and representation on the current agenda. Queer art and culture is a global phenomenon, and BEND IT includes contributions from artists from Norway and Europe as well as artists with connections to the global south. National and international perspectives collide in a dialogue that emphasises spontaneity, contradiction and coincidence. BEND IT is both a pop-up exhibition and a celebration, focused on openness, diversity and elastic expressions of gender and humor.BEND IT is produced by Atelier Nord in collaboration with Grünerløkka Lufthavn / MIR and is curated by artist Kjetil Berge and Atelier Nord’s director Ida Lykken Ghosh.
The exhibition is part of Queer Culture Year and is supported by Fritt Ord and the Municipality of Oslo. Queer Culture Year commemorates the 50th anniversary of the decriminalization of homosexuality in Norway."
Artists:
Sara Korshøj Christensen, A K Dolven, Sunil Gupta, Ann-Elise Pettersen Hyndøy, Louisa Minkin, ALBUM (Elise Storsveen & Eline Mugaas), SASUSU Radio, Marin Håskjold, Niels Munk Plum, Anette Gellein, Herman Breda Enkerud and Una Mathiesen Gjerde.

Anne-Karin Furunes tildeles Trondheim kommunes kulturpris for 2021
"Anne Karin Furunes får prisen som går til en aktør innenfor det profesjonelle kunst- og kulturområdet. Hun er opprinnelig utdannet arkitekt ved NTNU (den gang NTH), men som siden utdannet seg videre ved The Royal Academy of Art i København og ved Kunstakademiet i Trondheim (NTNU).

Hun har med stort hell gjennomført flere offentlige utsmykninger, og slik bidratt til å sette regionen og Norge på det internasjonale kunstkartet.
Anne Karin Furunes har spilt en viktig rolle i utviklingen av faget “Art in common space” i sin rolle som professor ved Kunstakademiet, og har slik også vært en viktig bidragsyter til utviklingen av Trondheim kommunes egen kunst i offentlige rom-ordning.

Kjell Bjørgeengen stiller ut på House of Foundation.
Prosessuell utstilling # 5: Unn Fahlstrøm, Kjell Bjørgeengen, Stein Rønning. Vernissage 14. mai kl. 14.00.
"Kjell Bjørgeengens kunstnerskap er preget av minimalistisk analog støy og en utpreget teknisk forståelse og bearbeidelse av videosignalet ofte i samarbeid med musikere. Som den eneste innenfor sitt fagfelt utforsker Bjørgeengens videomediets grenser til hva som er mulig rent teknisk. Valget av Bjørgeengen er motivert av prosjekts forbindelse med video. Fahlstrøms tekstilprosjekt tok opprinnelig utgangspunkt i forbindelsene mellom video og tekstil, og undersøkte tekstiltråden som en måte å jobbe med de horisontale linjene som videobildet er bygget opp av. Bruken av rette parallelle linjer og teksturen i håndspunnet tråd som referer til hvit støy er en viktig del av formspråket. De to kunstnerskapene er del av en abstrakt minimalistisk kanon som i hovedsak forholder seg akromatisk."
Utstillingen står til 30. august 2022.

Anna Sofie Mathiasen: 360
Kunsthall Oslo, 16th-19th of December, 2021
Anna Sofie Mathiasen opened her solo exhibition 360 at Kunsthall Oslo on Thursday 16th of December.
Press release:
"Kunsthall Oslo is very pleased to present 360, a solo exhibition by Anna Sofie Mathiasen, the third in our current series of Studio Reports.
“I am that distant mountain, I drink the blue of those trees that I can barely make out as distinct entities, I slip down the quarry way over there … the spin continues to the point of vertigo, the vertigo one gets in rare moments of life with 360 degree vision that annihilates and creates at the same time.” (from Autonauts of the Cosmopath,” Juan Cortàzar and Carol Dunlop, 1983)
Mathiasen’s installation 360 is an autofiction, a circular path and a series of drawings – based on found objects, memories and fragments – that concerns the possibility and impossibility of self-understanding. The motif of the circle alludes to a recurring desire expressed in the novels of Julio Cortàzar for “an absolute vision in which the ego would be annihilated and disappear,” and is echoed in a visual quotation from Eric Rohmer’s film The Green Ray, which also concerns the quest for a transcendent revelation."

Bjørn-Sigurd Tufta is part of the exhibition "First The Good News" at KODE, Bergen
The exhibition is opening on the 3rd of December, 2021
Press release:
"Opens December 3rd: What have we bought up in the last two years? See the new acquisitions to KODE’s collection!
In 2020 and 2021 the Ministry of culture allocated extra funding for acquisitions to Norwegian art museums. For KODE this has meant a quadrupling of our procurement budget, and for the first time given us an opportunity to effectuate extensive acquisitions on the contemporary art scene, primarily from Bergen’s exhibiting venues and from artists with associations to Western Norway.
KODE is Norway’s second largest art museum, and has a magnificent collection that covers several centuries of art history. Our aim is to document the best of our contemporary art for posterity.
Each year the collection is augmented through acquisitions, donations and long-term loans. These additions increase our ability to convey essential stories related to art history. The quality and representative characteristics are some of the criteria that determine what works are chosen.In recent years KODE has undertaken a critical investigation into what is lacking or inequitably represented in our collections. A major number of the new acquisitions are thus works by women artists. We have also finally included several contemporary works by Sami artists in our collection.
In the exhibition, the public will find a broad range of diverse artistic genres, techniques and perspectives, from the 19th century to the present. Come in to view a selection of what we have chosen to preserve for posterity, and why.
Practical information
The exhibition is located in the main gallery in KODE 2.
Exhibition period: December 3rd, 2021 – March 13th, 2022"
