Oslo Kunstforening is pleased to welcome you to the opening of Sparebankstiftelsen DNB's Grant Exhibition 2023! This year's exhibitors are are Damien Ajavon, Kåre Aleksander Grundvåg and Linda Lamignan.

The exhibition will open at Oslo Kunstforening on 16 November. The recipient of the grant of NOK 200.000 will be announced in a separate event during the exhibition period.

This year's three exhibitors represent different practices and work in different expressions that range from textiles to video, performance and sculpture, but the jury still sees several overlapping orientations and fields of interest.

The grant exhibition is being held at Oslo Kunstforening for the sixteenth time, an event that has become an important institution in Norway’s art scene over the years. To date, 21 artists have received grants and 72 artists have participated in the exhibition. A jury of art professionals is responsible for both the nominations and the final judging.

This year’s jury was appointed in 2022 and consists of Elise Storsveen, visual artist (chair of the jury), Pedro Gómez-Egaña, visual artist, professor at the Academy of Fine Art, Oslo, Sandra Mujinga, visual artist and musician, Axel Wieder, Director, Bergen Kunsthall and Elisabeth Byre, Director Oslo Kunstforening.
