Exhibition opening: Nordic Delights
Nordic Delights
Please join us for the opening of «Nordic Delights» on Friday April 22 4-6 pm. The exhibition will be inaugurated by the Oslo commissioner for culture Ms. Rina Mariann Hansen.
It is difficult today to speak of a cohesive Nordic art scene, or national scenes for that matter, even in the relatively small countries that comprise the Nordic region. But still we do every now and then.
For «Nordic Delights» the curators have discussed the concept of the Nordic region, as well as each country’s different art scenes from the 1990s onwards. What we have observed is that the art scenes, once they are represented nationally and in group exhibitions, still tend toward homogeneity.
An exhibition curated by Marianne Hultman, Kristine Kern and
Anna-Kaisa Rastenberger. «Nordic Delights» is organized in collaboration between Oslo Kunstforening, Fotografisk Center, Copenhagen, The Finnish Museum of Photography, Helsinki and Kalmar Konstmuseum, Sweden.
«Nordic Delights» is created on behalf of Norske Kunstforeninger as part of Oslo Kunstforening's 180th anniversary.
«Nordic Delights» was made possible through the generous support of the Nordic Culture Fund, Stiftelsen Fritt ord and Norske Kunstforeninger.Thank you Bengt-Olof Johansson and Joanna Sandell, Kalmar Konstmuseum and Advokatfirma Ræder.
