Guided tour of the exhibition Between Rivers

Join one of our educators for a tour in Between Rivers. The exhibition brings together the practices of contemporary artists who respond to the place of rivers in our lives at a moment when they are being profoundly reshaped by human activity. While rivers have been an important subject for artists since at least the nineteenth century and are at the center of significant developments in fields as varied as ecology and environmentalism, political organization and activism, and the built environment and architecture, in recent years they have been discussed with an increasing urgency. The artists included in the exhibition propose new ways of reading and imagining rivers.

The tour lasts for about 45 mins and costs NOK 50.
If you are a member both the exhibition and tour is free.

Between Rivers

A flood is what flows says the etymology, where the flowing is in excess. But it is by flooding that a river constructs its form; form is the remnant of excess, the despair of content, the failure of escape. Riffles, pools, floodplains, meanderings constitute its geometry.
