EXHIBITIONS
Håkon Anton Fagerås, The Vigeland Museum, Until 18th September
Fagerås is among the few who works with figurative sculpture. Despite choosing a
classical approach in both style and material, Fagerås' sculptures represent a break
with the traditional. They do not depict exalted gods or heroines, but ordinary people
frozen in a moment of nothing. These are sober everyday portraits and situational
representations; three infants asleep, a woman scratching her hip, and an old man
with a light slumped body carrying a sleeping pillow. Click here for more information.
