This weekend, visitors were able to step inside a work of art rather than simply observe it. At MUNCH, the XR experience ÅTERFÖDELSEN / REBIRTH was presented, where music, poetry, spatial sound and technology merged into a physical and digital experience developed by Silvana Imam and Paula Strunden.
MUNCH presents for the first time outside the Freia chocolate factory Edvard Munch’s Freia Frieze, a series of 12 monumental paintings commissioned for the factory worker’s canteen, where it was installed in 1923. Shown together at MUNCH, the exhibition presents a rare opportunity to experience one of the artist’s most significant public commissions.
MUNCH presents the first large-scale exhibition of Portuguese-British artist Paula Rego (1935–2022) in the Nordic region. Paula Rego: Dance Among Thorns shows the breadth of Rego’s art, in what is the most comprehensive showing of the artist’s work since her exhibition at Tate Britain in 2021.
Kim Hankyul ((b.1990, Busan, South Korea) presents a new installation in the distinctive gallery space on Level 10 at MUNCH. Titled Shore, the work is an immersive underwater landscape, composed of motorised sculptures, holograms, light and sound. The installation is the fifth edition in MUNCH’s SOLO OSLO series.
Next year, MUNCH opens its doors to a programme spanning Nordic icons and today’s most innovative contemporary artists. Experience large-scale installations, unexpected retrospectives, and interactive encounters with art that both moves and inspires.
