Artist Talk: Forestill deg at du faller
Per Christian Brown, Speiling i det som var og det som er, 2025
The group exhibition Forestill deg at du faller presents new works by Per Christian Brown, Book & Hedén, Hege Nyborg, Helene Sommer, and Thorbjørn Sørensen. Join us for a talk with all the exhibiting artists on 25 February, 18–19. The conversation will be led by Elisabeth Byre, Artistic Director of Oslo Kunstforening, and will be held in Norwegian.
Over the past decade, the artists have established a shared platform for conversations, discussions, and exhibitions. All are recognized figures on the Norwegian art scene, yet they come from different generations and work across a wide range of media and artistic expressions. Despite these differences, they have met regularly over the years through a shared interest in art, theory, nature, and literature.
In the exhibition, the artists take as their point of departure the inherent histories of things – their use and biography. The dense and complex relationships between objects and their surroundings are manifested in individual works consisting of painting, photography, video, sculpture, and installation. The object can be understood as existing somewhere between nature and culture, as a materialization of the past in the present.
