The current video in our Art Video for Kids program is Snap!, 2017 by Rhys Coren. Coren (b. 1983, Plymouth, UK) works across animation, writing, performance and painted marquetry; each media displaying an obvious pleasure in rhythm, form, color and texture, space and negative space. He completed a Postgraduate Diploma at the Royal Academy of Art in 2016 and lives and works in London, where he is represented by Seventeen Gallery. Read more about Rhys and his work in a recent interview with It's Nice That.

Welcome!

Art, socio-political critique, the human body, feminism, new material technologies and the space age – there is little that escaped Kiki Kogelnik’s attention. The artist’s prolific creative period of the 1960s and 70s is the focus of Kiki Kogelnik: Inner Life, an extensive exhibition of the artist’s work at Kunsthall Stavanger.

Opening on March 30!

Kunsthall Stavanger is proud to present an exhibition of artworks by the Austrian artist Kiki Kogelnik. Organized in collaboration with the Kiki Kogelnik Foundation, the exhibition brings together artworks from the 1960s and 70s, and particularly generative period in the artist’s prolific career. Kogelnik, well-known for her idiosyncratic style, bright color palette, and close relationship to Pop art and first wave feminism, employed a variety of different media in her investigations into politics, social critique, the space age, and the human body. The works presented at Kunsthall Stavanger echo current curiosities and concerns regarding gender politics, globalization and the environment, and continue to be as relevant today as when they were first created.
