  • Pressevisning 19. juni: Nytt besøkssenter på Kistefos

    Kistefos Museum inviterer til pressevisning av nytt besøkssenter fredag 19. juni klokken 11.00. Bygget er tegnet av arkitektene i Lundhagem. Sammen med landskapsarkitektene i ATSITE har de skapt et bygg som glir inn i landskapet, heller enn å dominere det. - Kistefos befester med dette igjen sin posisjon innenfor ledende arkitektur, sier direktør Kari Roll-Matthiesen.

  • When I’m In My Painting åpnet i The Twist på Kistefos

    When I’m In My Painting samler fire sentrale kunstnere innen samtidsabstraksjon i en undersøkelse av maleriet som både prosess og nærvær. Med verk av Ragna Bley, Ida Ekblad, Oscar Murillo og Albert Oehlen – kunstnere representert i Christen Sveaas’ Kunststiftelse og Kunstsamling – utforsker utstillingen hvordan abstraksjon utvikler seg som en dynamisk og erfaringsbasert praksis.

Is there an octopus rising out of the water? 👀 The sculpture `Shine of Life´ by Yayoi Kusama appears to grow out of the water in the Wood Pulp Mill’s former water tank. Inspired by the area's nature, water, and industrial history, it is truly an eye-catcher in the park 🙌🏼 See the sculpture with your own eyes this weekend. Kistefos is open from 10 - 17 .

Issy Wood transforms imagery from the internet, advertising, and popular culture into paintings that both entice and unsettle 🙌🏼 Wood creates carefully composed, atmospheric works that explore desire and power, vulnerability and objectification. Through a distinctive and understated humour, she imbues her motifs with an uncanny presence that speaks to contemporary aesthetics, consumer culture, and emotional life. At Kistefos, a wide selection of new and earlier works comes together to reflect the playful, slightly disorienting rhythm of Wood’s associative logic. Set against the industrial backdrop of Nybruket Gallery, the works take on additional resonance, prompting reflection on shifting relationships between objects, value, and identity. Experience Fish, Fish, Duck by Issy Wood at Nybruket Galleri until 11 October. The exhibition is curated by Live Drønen and Kate Smith-Raabe. Photo: Tor S. Ulstein

Did you know there’s a troll hiding in The Wood Pulp Mill? With its head popping out of a box and a cardinal’s hat perched on top, this creature sparks both curiosity and questions. The hat is often associated with power and the abuse of power, but what does the figure really represent? Something we should fear, like the trolls and witches of folk tales? ✨ See if you can find it the next time you visit Kistefos. 🤫 Psst! Look for it on one of the lower floors of The Wood Pulp Mill. 📷 Photo: Hans Haug / @visiteastnorway

Behind the scenes 👀 See the work behind a new commission by Cory Arcangel 🔔 For our new visitor center, Cory 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. 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. 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. We are so looking forward to seeing Cory’s work in its final form in our new visitor center 🙌🏼
