May 1st marks International Workers’ Day ✊🏼 At Kistefos Træsliberi, the history of labour runs deep. Did you know the factory once had its own workers’ union? In the factory, working conditions were uncertain. Wages could change without notice, and workers were often dismissed and rehired depending on water supply and the global wood pulp market. On December 6th, 1906, ten workers took a stand and founded the first union at Kistefos. Management was far from pleased. But the workers stayed. The beginning was tough, and few dared to join. But by 1913, the union had grown strong enough to become part of the Norwegian Paper Industry Workers’ Union, gaining support in negotiations. Curious to learn more? Visit our industrial museum and explore what working and everyday life looked like at Kistefos. We open May 9th. 📷 Kistefos’ photo archive

Introducing this season’s sculpture commission: Dana Schutz The American artist Dana Schutz (b. 1976) is widely regarded as one of the most important artists of her generation, known for her bold, expressive paintings and ambitious sculptural work. For Kistefos, Schutz has created Blind Boat: a monumental sculptural group developed specifically for the sculpture park. The work marks her first outdoor sculpture at this scale, and signals a striking new direction in her practice. Originally trained as a painter, Schutz began working in sculpture in 2018. Her works are first modelled in clay and later cast in bronze, retaining the immediacy and gestures of her hand. Working across painting and sculpture, her work—vivid, figurative, and often charged with tension, absurdity, and narrative—has made her a defining voice in contemporary art since the early 2000s. Since rising to prominence in the early 2000s, she has presented major solo exhibitions at institutions including The Hepworth Wakefield; Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art and Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris. She has also participated in major international exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale, the Whitney Biennial, and Greater New York at MoMA PS1. Her work is held in leading public collections including The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. She lives and works in New York. Blind Boat will be unveiled on 9 May as part of the season opening at Kistefos. Credits: 1. Dana Schutz. Photo: Jason Schmidt 2. The Medium, 2024. © Dana Schutz.

Presenting the international artists commissioned for Kistefos’ new visitor center! Cory Arcangel is a key figure in post-conceptual and digital art, known for using appropriation, hacking, and obsolete technologies to explore internet culture, obsolescence, and collective nostalgia. For Kistefos, Arcangel has created a carillon – a musical instrument of twelve bells – suspended within a cell phone tower at the entrance, greeting visitors with algorithmically generated compositions throughout the day. Skuja Braden is an international artist duo working primarily with ceramics, creating immersive installations that merge decorative traditions with autobiographical, political, feminist, and cultural perspectives. Their site-integrated works Above the Below and Sanctum of Flow will shape the restroom areas of the new visitor center. Together, these works offer distinct approaches to contemporary visual culture and new ways of experiencing art at Kistefos! The new visitor center opens June 20. Designed by Lund Hagem Architects, it includes ticketing facilities, a museum shop, restrooms, and a restaurant overlooking the Randselva and surrounding forest. Credits Photo 1: Cory Arcangel.

Looking back at last year’s newest addition to the sculpture park: Resting Arms by Nairy Baghramian 🤍 With its soft curves and subtle balance, Resting Arms brings a quiet, emotional presence to the landscape. Abstract yet intimate, it invites you to slow down and take a closer look. We open for the season on May 9, when a new sculpture by Dana Schutz will be unveiled. We’re excited to see what the sculpture will bring to the sculpture park at Kistefos. We very much look forward to it 🙌🏼 Photo: Vegard Kleven
