Munchmuseet on the Move

Natalie Hope O’Donnell will present some of the thinking behind the commissioning of artists for the first year of Munchmuseet on the Move (2016-2019). This four-year program of contemporary art projects takes place before the relocation of the Munch Museum from its existing premises at Tøyen, built in the 1960s, to the waterfront development of Bjørvika. The Munch Museum is moving a mile down the road, through the diverse neighbourhood of so-called Old Oslo. One of the aims of the programme is to establish new relationships with the locality – without essentializing the potential of “audience development” – through the everyday notion of neighbourliness and long-term dialogue. Adopting what might be described as a queer curatorial approach, Hope O’Donnell has commissioned artists who engage with marginalized voices, alternative histories, semi-concealed spaces and different ways of navigating the city for the 2016 edition of Munchmuseet on the Move.

This event is free and open to the public. To attend, please RSVP to rsvp@curatorsintl.org with NATALIE in the subject line.
