Did you know? 👀 Discover some anecdotes about the sculptures at Kistefos. At Kistefos, Carol Bove’s monumental and striking sculpture PASANASAP is surrounded by trees. Yet its material originates from a cargo ship that sank outside of the Norwegian west coast in 2007. The MS Server was on its way to Murmansk when it hit a storm. Eight-metre-high waves meant that the crew had to be evacuated by helicopter, and the ship eventually sank to the bottom of the seabed in two parts. The rear part of the ship, consisting of 1,500 tonnes of steel, was raised in 2018. The steel in Bove’s sculpture came from this part of the ship. Despite the hard, heavy materials she uses, the finished works have a lightness to them, which makes them seem soft, light and compliant. ♥️ Photo 2: Jan M Lillebø, Bergens Tidende Photo 3: Vegard Kleven Design from Kistefos´Sculpture Guide by Supple Studio

We’re busy preparing the 2026 art season—opening on 9 May! In Nybruket Gallery, we’re proud to present the London-based artist Issy Wood’s solo exhibition Fish, Fish, Duck. Wood is known for her psychologically charged paintings that combine intimacy, alienation and cultural criticism. She often draws motifs from the internet, advertising, auction catalogues and popular culture, and reworks them through carefully selected views and atmospheric compositions. Through a distinctive, often dark and understated humour, Wood imbues her motifs with an unnerving presence that points to contemporary aesthetics, consumer culture and emotional life. The solo exhibition at Kistefos is Wood’s first major presentation in the Nordic region! The exhibition is curated by Kate Smith-Raabe and Live Drønen. We can’t wait! 👀 🐟 @isywod @kate_artavenue @livedronen @christensveaasart Image Credits: 1.

Kistefos is pleased to announce that the recipient of Springbrett OPEN CALL 2026 is ABIRAMI LOGENDRAN! 🎉 The jury states: “The jury has unanimously selected Abirami Logendran as the recipient of Springbrett 2026. Her exhibition proposal "Dark Adaptation" intelligently explores questions around the gaze and ways of seeing, adjusted to a darker more uncertain epistemic present. Logendran is already establishing herself as a distinctive voice in the contemporary art field, and the jury is confident she will take on this collection-based curatorial endeavour with proficiency while benefiting from the professional development it offers." Drawing on works from Christen Sveaas’ Art Foundation, "Dark Adaptation" brings together artworks that resist easy viewing and asks what it means to curate an exhibition around what refuses to be fully seen. Abirami Logendran @abilogix is a curator, writer, and artist based in Oslo. She is a film curator at Kunstnernes Hus and editor-in-chief of the Norwegian Art Yearbook. "Dark Adaptation" opens at Nybruket Gallery, Kistefos, in June 2026. We are grateful to Sparebankstiftelsen DNB @sparebankstiftelsendnb for supporting this important programme, and to our jury: Ruben Steinum @roiiben, Isabella Maidment @isabella_maidment, Apichaya Wanthiang @piya__________w, and William Flatmo @williamflatmo Portrait by Anne-Marte Før. @christensveaasart #springbrett #curator�

Tusen takk til alle som kom på måneskinnsvandring i går! 🌕 Det ble en helt spesiell kveld med stjerneklar himmel og fullmåne som lyste opp skulpturparken! Det er noe helt eget med å oppleve Kistefos i vintermørket. Når lommelyktene treffer skulpturene, endrer de karakter, får nye uttrykk og skaper en nesten magisk stemning i samspillet mellom kunst, natur og snø. Vi håper dere koste dere like mye som oss. Og ønsker dere velkommen tilbake til nye opplevelser på Kistefos 💙

Did you know? 👀 Discover some anecdotes about the sculptures at Kistefos. The sculpture «Shine of Life» by Yayoi Kusama resembles an enormous red-and-white polka-dotted creation that seems to grow out of the water in the wood pulp mill’s old inlet 🙌🏼 Kusama has said about the work: “My prayers for the world to be filled with love and hope are placed upon Shine of Life. It is my great hope that this message is conveyed to everyone through sharing Shine of Life with you.” The sculpture is a monumental example of Kusama’s fascination with pattern and color, and it is her largest sculpture in the Nordic countries 🙏🏼 See how beautifully the sculpture stands out against the winter snow! ❤️ Photo: Tomasz Majewski
