MUNCH in Oslo is delighted to announce further details of the second MUNCH Triennale.
“The MUNCH Triennale is a key part of MUNCH’s ambitious commitment to contemporary art and the fostering of new voices,
This autum, MUNCH launches its major exhibition Ludvig Karsten – Restless, presenting the work of one of the most extraordinary and under-appreciated Nordic modernists.
MUNCH presents Lifeblood: Edvard Munch, an extraordinary exhibition showing how Munch’s powerful and visceral art tells a story of modern healthcare, and reflecting on how medicine continues to shape our lives.
MUNCH invites you to the spectacular 4 April opening of Kiyoshi Yamamoto’s You Are What You Is – a sensory experience in which visitors play a starring role. Known for his colourful, norm-busting artistry, Yamamoto will transform the museum into a living stage where fabrics, light and movement fuse into a dynamic narrative.
Experience a total installation as Kerstin Brätsch takes over the 9th floor at MUNCH, from 14 March – 3 August. With the exhibition MƎTAATEM, she explores painting as a medium, playing between the physical and the spiritual. Brätsch invites visitors to enter her enigmatic, sensual and groundbreaking artistic universe, with works shown in Norway for the first time.
On 15 February, MUNCH launches an exhibition by one of the most significant artists of our time: Georg Baselitz. Feet First is Norway’s biggest ever exhibition by the German artist. The entire 3rd floor of the museum is given over to his monumental paintings and drawings.
