Can’t See the Forest
2.5.-20.9.2026
Curated by Bjørn Hatterud and Per Gunnar Eeg-Tverbakk
The group exhibition For bare trær / Can't see the Forest, curated by Bjørn Hatterud and Per Gunnar Eeg-Tverbakk, will be the largest gathering of artists exhibited in the Art Laboratory's main building in many years. A total of 76 artists will be distributed over four floors, showing a diversity of mediums and artistic expressions.
The exhibition's theme is the forest, presenting works featuring trees, forests, vegetation, and the humans, figures, shapes and forms one can imagine reside there. It is about the forest as a living space, a refuge, and an escape route, as a place for myths and mysticism, as a metaphor for darkness and gothic, as a meeting place, and a place for longing and solitude.
