Ingrid Eggen, Knoxs # 7, 2017.
Opening of Fotografihusets pilot program 2020/2021
Norwegian artist Ingrid Eggen will be the first solo exhibitor when Fotografihuset opens its pilot program at Sukkerbiten in Oslo on the 20th of August. At the same time, we present the project #BRIST and the discussion series “Conversations about photography”.
Fotografihuset is being established as Norway’s new, international center for photography. Construction on Sukkerbiten was planned to start in 2021, but has been postponed pending Oslo City Council’s investigation into a possible alternative use of the area.
The pilot program will run over two years and consists of exhibitions, lectures and debates in a temporary container pavilion at Sukkerbiten in Bjørvika. This late summer we present three main projects: Ingrid Eggen, Knex, Knax, Knoxs, Virvx and Handl(2016–2020), the project exhibition #brist and the series “Conversations about photography”.
In addition to the exhibitions and talks, the pilot program will also consist of a partner program and a dissemination program. These program elements will be introduced gradually throughout the autumn.
The opening and the event are free, but the number of places is limited. We therefore recommend advance registration. Any available spaces are available on site.
Exhibition opening at the 20th of August at 18.00, registrer at the bottom of the page.
