On one of the brightest summer evenings of the year, 25 June 2022 at 16.00, you can find me at Bomuldsfabriken in Arendal during the opening of the exhibition “All the Lonley People together” with Tom Burr (USA), Richard Aldrich (USA), Fin Serck-Hanssen (NO), Geir M. Brungot (NO), Marie Sjøvold (NO), Ayo Akinsete (USA), Tore Magne Gundersen (NO), Aaron Young (USA), Piero Golia (IT), Veronica Brovall (SE), Andrea Scholze (NO) and Christina Leite (NO).
Curators Tone Lyngstad Nyaas and Åse Kamilla Spjelkavik Aslaksen write this about the exhibition:
Loneliness, described by many researchers and authors as the biggest pandemic of our time, is the theme explored through a presentation by 12 international and Norwegian artists in All the Lonley People. A broad presentation of installations, painting, photography and sculpture is shown. Isolation and exclusion is a central theme that refers to the individual's vulnerability. Many works discuss loneliness related to, among other things, Covid -19, social relations, nature and urban spaces.
The exhibition runs until 28 August 2022.
