Bergen Kunsthall, Earthworks
Exhibition Period 26 January — 7 April, 2024
In spring 2024 Bergen Kunsthall presents an extensive thematic exhibition exploring the role of art in the history of ecological resistance movements in the Nordic countries. At a moment when ecological questions – and their relation to questions of social justice and colonial conditions – are becoming increasingly pressing, this project looks at artistic work dealing with nature from a multiplicity of viewpoints, with works by visual artists, writers and activists, working as individuals or in groups. The exhibition also includes several sections of documentary material selected by research collaborators, including Marius Heyerdahl’s early eco-activist project Den siste alke (The Last Auk) and the history of the Máze group (Mázejoavku) art collective.
Curated by Axel Wieder and Silja Leifsdottir.
