LEAN

March 4 – April 25, 2021

Kunsthall Stavanger is proud to announce the opening of LEAN, curated by Legacy Russell, Associate Curator, Exhibitions, The Studio Museum in Harlem. The exhibition was originally commissioned by Performa, New York, and is currently streaming until March 31, 2021 on Radical Broadcast, Performa’s online channel at performa-arts.org.

First imagined and shown as a digital exhibition for Performa’s Radical Broadcast, LEAN is now migrating for the first time to a physical format at Kunsthall Stavanger.

We hereby invite all of our members to our General Assembly, which will take place on

April 29, 6 pm (registration from 5:30 pm) at Madlaveien 33 in Stavanger.

All documents will be made available ten days before the meeting.

Best Regards,

The Board at Kunsthall Stavanger

Kids from 1st to 8th grade are welcome!

One Sunday a month, Kunsthall Stavanger facilitates a meaningful interaction with contemporary art. Here, the children explore Norwegian and international art, and produce their own works in collaboration with professional artists in four different workshops. At the end of the semester we make an exhibition, which will be open to family and friends.

The theme of this semester's Kids’ Art Club is humor: How is humor used in contemporary art today? What can we create with humor? What is the function and role of humor in art? And can jokes be art?

It gives us great pleasure to welcome Maria to her new role at Kunsthall Stavanger, which commences in the mid of January next year.

The position, which is new as of next year, will see Maria working with the communication of Kunsthall Stavanger’s artistic and educational program to both our local, national and international audiences. In addition, she will be assisting director Hanne Mugaas and curator Kristina Ketola Bore in the work with exhibitions and educational activities.

Rhizome, affiliate in residence at the New Museum in New York, and Kunsthall Stavanger in Norway are delighted to announce Seven on Seven Stavanger, a newly-imagined, socially-distanced edition of the celebrated platform pairing visionaries from the fields of art and technology and charging them to create new projects through one-on-one collaborations over a short period of time.

On Monday October 5, 2020 at 2 PM EST, the institutions will kick off seven days of art-tech premieres, each taking the form of a 45-minute live-event broadcast, with audience Q&A, via the new website 7X7.NO. Episodes will debut live each successive day at 2PM EST through Sunday, October 11. The online-only conference program will later take physical form as a first-ever Seven on Seven exhibition, featuring selected works from the program past and present, scheduled to open at Kunsthall Stavanger in the spring of 2021.
