After After Munch

​

​In partnership with the Munch Museum, Clarion Hotel Oslo displays in its lobby an original artwork by Edvard Munch (1863-1944). In addition, the hotel's collection shows how established artists have reinterpreted Munch’s iconic works in their own unique ways. It includes works by Marina Abramović, Huma Bhabha, Sverre Bjertnæs, Sigurdur Gudmundsson, Steffen Kverneland, Per Maning, Vik Muniz, Kjell Nupen, and Andy Warhol.

​

This permanent exhibition, titled ‘After Munch,’ evidences the continuing relevance of Munch. It serves as a platform to discuss art practice and theory beyond the white cube and explore the possibilities of the hotel as an art space. Each month I devise a range of events in connection to the artworks from the permanent collection under the title 'After After Munch.'
