Norwegian artist Hariton Pushwagner (1940\u20132018) created an exceptional artistic realm, in which modern life and dystopian visions of the future played out in drawings, paintings, prints, and friezes. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pushwagner continuously reused and redeveloped his own motifs in various media, producing an idiosyncratic visual language that has drawn close scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition returns to the origins of Pushwagner\u2019s work, based on key series from his early phases (1970s \u2013 1990s). It goes back to where the artist\u2019s hand meets the paper or canvas, and to where the artist reuses his own material. With a unique sensibility to popular culture, Pushwagner captured the spirit of the times in a science fiction-like language of comics. His artistic project actively and critically pointed to the homogeneity created in modern capitalist society\u2014from cities in which people are crammed into crowded high-rise buildings, to authoritarian leaders waging remote technological warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition explores these issues, which were at the core of Pushwagner\u2019s oeuvre\u2014highlighting a historical practice that continues to inform contemporary artists and remains highly relevant still today. The exhibition is the first major presentation of Pushwagner\u2019s work in a museum in Norway since his passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
