Inger Johanne Rasmussen (b. 1958) is the first textile artist to be invited to exhibit solo in Nøstentagenrommet. Like other artists in this exhibition series, such as Andreas Heuch (installation) and Jim Bengston (photography), she has created works that relate to the room as it is staged as a permanent presentation of the museum's collection of exquisite glass, silver, faience and tin from second half of the 18th century.

Steve Joy in the Nøstetangen room

February 4, 2021

Steve Joy (b. 1952) paints abstractly. That is, he does not want to reproduce the visual environment we experience on a daily basis as lifelike as possible. Abstract painting is a hundred-year-old phenomenon and for an artist of Joy's generation, this is a form language that the artist uses as a starting point when he is to express something in the painting.
