This Saturday, we invite you to a family-friendly guided tour of the exhibitions Weaving Voices by Pearla Pigao and Do You Hear That Whistling Sound? by Maia Urstad. After the tour, both young and old can enjoy themselves in our art workshop.
About the Event
Join us for Family Saturday and experience the magic of sound in this year's summer exhibitions. In these spaces, sound can be experienced in very different ways – as we move around, or when sound is localized from different places and levels, or expressed as light. Under the guidance of our art educators, everyone will become a co-creator and one who actively sees and listens. Even if you are hearing impaired or visually impaired, you will be able to experience something unique. In our workshop, we create our own imaginary instruments that you can take home. Family Saturday is suitable for all ages. Welcome!
About the Exhibitions
Experience Kunstnernes Hus this summer with three exciting exhibitions! From May 24th, we are pleased to present solo exhibitions by two generations of artists who work with sound as a focal point: Pearla Pigao (b. 1984) and Maia Urstad (b. 1954). Pearla Pigao presents the exhibition Weaving Voices, while Maia Urstad showcases Do You Hear That Whistling Sound? These artists approach sound in vastly different ways, immersing the viewer in distinct listening modes. Pigao explores sound through hypersensitive installations using textiles and water that react to the presence and movement of visitors throughout the skylight galleries. Urstad invites us on a journey through our everyday soundscapes, reflecting on the transience of technology and the auditory traces we leave behind, becoming part of our collective subconscious. Additionally, immerse yourself in James Richards' images and film in Our Friends in the Audience in the lower hall and cinema. Enjoy our exhibitions until August 4th!
The exhibitions run from May 24th to August 4th, 2024, generously supported by the Sparebankstiftelsen DNB.
