Opening: Forestill deg at du faller

Oslo Kunstforening welcomes 2026 with the group exhibition Forestill deg at du faller [Imagine you are falling], featuring works by Per Christian Brown, Book & Hedén, Hege Nyborg, Helene Sommer, and Thorbjørn Sørensen. The exhibition opens Thursday 29 January, and runs until Sunday 29 March.

Over the past ten years, the artists have established a shared platform for conversations, discussions, and exhibitions. In Forestill deg at du faller, they take as their point of departure the inherent history of objects—their use and biography. The dense and complex relationships between objects and their surroundings are manifested in individual works comprising painting, photography, video, sculpture, and installation. The object can be said to exist in a space between nature and culture, as a materialization of the past in the present. The group states:

We are interested in how the object exists in relation to, and on equal terms with, humans, plants, and animals. How does the object convey time, and is its apparent immobility merely a reflection of our limited perspective? In our respective works, we explore these themes from different viewpoints—from the voices of objects in the home and how they encapsulate memories, to the peripheral zones of objects and objects as historical entities, the order of things, their physiology and systematization, and the sorting and archiving of the objects we leave behind.

Welcome to the exhibition opening at Oslo Kunstforening on 29 January, 18:00–20:00!
