Wong Ping: ༼;´༎ຶ༎ຶ༽~♡
Exhibition
16 June – 18 September 2022
Welcome to a guided baby tour of the exhibition ༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽ ~♡ by Wong Ping. Through animations, sculptures and installations, Wong Ping tells stories that challenge our habitual ideas of human nature. Wong’s animations are rendered in a bright aesthetic reminiscent of early video games – this light-hearted, humorous, and accessible visual language helps to diffuse lewd and offbeat stories that explore the dark corners of being human.
Our baby tours give parents with babies up to 18 months the opportunity to see and learn about our exhibitions in a relaxed tempo. Our educators start with an introduction to the exhibition before we head into the galleries with all parents and babies. Coffee and tea will be served in our foyer after the tour.
The tour takes 45 minutes, and is conducted in Norwegian.
To join the tour, you must purchase an entrance ticket to the exhibition.
Please arrive at least five minutes before the tour starts.
The educator or receptionist will assist with bringing your stroller up the stairs to our main entrance.
