Magne’s Bouquet Exhibition

Magne is participating in a group exhibition called ‘Art just west’ in Asker, outside Oslo. The opening took place in the square in Asker on October 9, and there Magne’s art Bouquet served as a backdrop for the evening’s program.
The work consists of white fabric draped around the building known as ‘Aalto-vasen’ (Aalto vase), and decorated with letters from the name of the exhibition forming various anagrams.

The following exhibition at Galleri Trafo will be a jubilee celebration of Magne’s own works, a retrospective encompassing 25 years, and coinciding with his 50th birthday on November 1. This exhibition, also called Bouquet, will open on October 25 and run through November 25. For more information, visit the Galleri Trafo web site.

Sølvguttene / Apparatjik / Audiokolor

On December 11, the Oslo boys’ choir Sølvguttene will ‘sing Christmas in’ with a new work by Apparatjik and Audiokolor. The choir’s name means ‘Boys of Silver’, and they are a very popular institution in Norway and abroad.
This new work is connected to the ‘Everybody is a composer’ installation at the I wish this was a song exhibition. During the course of the exhibition, the security cameras mounted around the Apparatjik/Audiokolor installation are recording the movement of the visitors; this will be converted into a musical arrangement, which will be performed on December 11 together with Sølvguttene.

Magne visited the Blaafarveværket museum yesterday, to prepare his big – partly retrospective – summer exhibition (see Dec. 15th story) which opens next Saturday, May 19th.
Today there are interviews with him in VGBygdeposten and Drammens Tidende. There is also an 8-minute video interview at tvmodum.no, where you can see many examples of what will be on display – woodcuts, graphic prints, ceramic jars and more.

“The exhibition features a lot of art from the 1990s, including series of works that have never been exhibited in Norway or Europe before. It’s been really fun to bring this out of hiding, and combine it with some of my newest works”, Magne told Bygdeposten.
The exhibition is held in an old, wooden barn, which makes for a special experience.
“It’s both exciting and challenging to work in such buildings and surroundings. When it works, which I feel it does here, it creates a great connection between the room and the artwork. And the woodcuts fit naturally together with the timber walls”, Magne says.
There is more information (in English) about the museum and exhibition at blaa.no.
