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.
