9 March–8 April
Matthew Brannon, Andrea Büttner, Annette & Caroline Kierulf, Thomas Kilpper

This exhibition presents five artists who have all placed graphic printing techniques at the centre of an otherwise complex, highly varied artistic output.
KARL HOLMQVIST
9 March–8 April
At Bergen Kunsthall Holmqvist will present a new exhibition where the kind of activism that has long been an aspect of his texts takes a new turn towards a kind of ‘cosmic’ protest or a ‘rejection of the earthly’. The exhibition is part of an annual collaboration between Bergen Kunsthall and the Borealis Festival.

SURPLUS
24 May–19 August

Platform is Bergen Kunsthall’s own lecture series. It includes presentations, lectures and debates involving some of the leading artists, curators and theoreticians on the contemporary art scene. The lectures will also be streamed live on kunsthall.no and made available in our media archive.
