Nachspiel Vorspiel
May 2 – October 4, 2009
Vestfossen kunstlaberatorium (Art Lab), outside Kongsberg, Norway
The Nachspiel Vorspiel (Afterparty/Preparty) was a group show featuring works by the last ten festival artists who exhibited at Bergen International Festival, one of Norway’s most significant cultural events every year. The ten artists then invited one artist they believe will influence the art scene in Norway in the coming years.
One of the goals for the exhibition was to show the art to people on the east part of Norway, as the International Festival is in Bergen, on the west part. Still, the most important aspect was to explore how these artists place themselves in the art world today. The focus was on new expressions and how the latest contemporary art relates to the more established part of the Norwegian art scene.
