Nature in the art
September 7, 5pm
At Kunsten nature plays an essential role. It was important for the architects, Elissa and Alvar Aalto with Jean-Jacques Barüel, that nature outside was visible from inside the museum, and that the park and architecture melted together to a unity. But it is not only in the park surrounding the museum, that you will find nature. The nature is also very present in many of the artworks inside. Join this guided tour at let’s find the nature, which blooms everywhere at Kunsten.
Between reality and fiction: Omer Fast – Present Continuous
October 5, 5pm
From September 24 2016 to January 8 2017 Kunsten exhibits video works by Israeli-born artist Omer Fast (b. 1972), who now resides in Berlin.
