Welcome to a new edition of Artist screening artists, where we invite artists to talk about our current exhibitions from their personal and professional point of view. This time, Steinar Haga Kristensen, Hilmar Fredriksen and Mari Slaattelid will be joining us. Slaattelid is currently presented with the solo exhibition Template at Kunstneres Hus.
In addition, we will be launching Minigrafier - a book series where artists have the floor. The first release presents a conversation between Mari Slaattelid and art historian and curator at the National Museum Ingvild Krogvig.
The event is free with an exhibition ticket. No registration required, open to everyone!

About Hilmar Fredriksen
Hilmar Fredriksen (b. 1953) is considered a pioneer in Norwegian performance art. His work includes painting, sculpture, video, installation, object, concept art and scenography and moves effortlessly between moments of everyday life and his own interest in science, religion and modern art. When these ideas are put together, a form of humorous play with the elements often arises.
