Exhibitions

Solo exhibition with the Norwegian Sámi artist Ingunn Utsi, winner of the John Savio Award 2023. Utsi is particularly known for her sculptures, where she often uses wood, often driftwood, combined with other materials such as plexiglas, stone, feathers, bone, fur and gold leaf.

In the artwork "Stay away" (2019), a polar bear looks us in the eye and gives us a clear message: You should not be here. This landscape was not created for humans.

Three generations with different connections to Svalbard meet through their different artistic expressions. Can we learn anything from the old photographs?
