Can an institution absorb, learn from, and adapt to the processes, methods and temporalities of artists?
Open House 2023 on Saturday, December 9 will have as its focus connections and relationships within Kunstnernes Hus – between the studios, the exhibition and social spaces, and invited artist-run initiatives, all housed within the building. Open House will thus explore connections between exhibition, process, collaboration, and community. Keep your eyes open to subtle interventions made by the studio residents here and there!
