En savoir plus sur le livre
Comprising two volumes (one English, one Norwegian), 'Open Window' is published on the occasion of Fredrik Værslev?s exhibition at the Kunstnerforbundet in Oslo, which celebrates the one hundredth anniversary of the building?s skylight room. It brings together a rich selection of archival material with critical essays that retrace the institution?s history and connect it to Værslev?s oeuvre and the paintings and spatial intervention he produced especially for the show, which reflect on the act of framing and the relationship between painting and architecture. The starting point for the painting series 'Open Window' was a window in the living room in Værslev?s former apartment in Drammen, Norway. The frame is an accurate copy of the window?an architectural element that with glass and some filler could be fitted in a house, which also serves as a frame for a painting depicting a view through a window. Echoing the exhibition room?s various transformations, Værslev reconstructed its former 1950s chest panel and presented it against the marble floor tiles from the 1980s. The room is a hybrid of different eras, analogous to Open Window?s hybridity between painting and architecture. 00Exhibition: Kunstnerforbuntet, Oslo, Norway (15.08-15.09.2019).
