UPCOMING EVENTS
Ekstrøm Extreme. Furniture and Industrial Design,
Kunstindustrimuseet, until May 12
The work of pioneering designer Terje Ekstrøm (1944-2013) contributed
a new vitality and independence to the Norwegian design scene of the
1970s and 80s, a time of significant cultural and social change. He
represented a new generation of designers who challenged the ideals
of their forbears and the golden age of Scandinavian design.
Ekstrøm’s internationally successful Ekstrem chair was designed in
1972, but did not go into production until 1984. It is seen as one of
Norway’s first postmodern designs and has achieved iconic status
due to its unique and visionary qualities. It is, however, an object that
invites a multitude of interpretations.
His uncompromising and even anti-commercial ethos stands in stark contrast to today’s market-orientated design approach.
This exhibition for the first time tells the story of Ekstrøm’s design practice, characterised by a joy in the making and an
eclectic search for originality.
The exhibition includes a mini workshop, where anyone is free to make their own version of the Extreme chair.

James Lee Byars: Sphere Is a Sphere Is a Sphere Is a Sphere,
Peder Lund, until June 11
Peder Lund presents an exhibition with the American artist James
Lee Byars (1932-1997). Originally a student of art and philosophy at
Wayne State University, Byars stated that his main influences were
“Stein, Einstein, and Wittgenstein.” After completing his studies in the
United States, Byars spent nearly a decade living in Japan where he,
influenced by Zen Buddhism, Noh theatre and Shinto rituals, executed
his first performances. Byars’ performative events, sculptures,
drawings, installations, and wearable art of James Lee Byars has been
widely exhibited internationally. Up until his death at the age of 65
Byars had remained in constant pursuit of the concept of perfection
and truth.
The exhibition James Lee Byars: Sphere Is a Sphere Is a Sphere Is a
Sphere features four spherical sculptures made of different materials in different sizes. The sphere has been essential in
Byars’ art since his thesis exhibition, when he installed a number of large spherical stones in the living room in his family
home. The sphere is a literal and simple representation of something absolute and perfect, as well as completely closed and
impenetrable.

Mortvedt, with Nikolai Hængsle Eilertsen (Big Bang/Elephant9),
Olaf Olsen (Big Bang, Todd Terje) and Peter Estdahl. The band has
already received rave reviews for their live performances.
With a total lack of respect for genre boundaries, they borrow from
multiple decades and styles - a squirt of 70s pop here, a bit of 80s
art rock there, a pinch of 60s Laurel Canyon melancholy, discretely
combined with danceable indie joyfulness...

Yayoi Kusama - In infinity, Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, until
May 15
The solo exhibition tells the full story of the Japanese artist Yayoi
Kusama’s production, from her dot paintings to the installation spaces
that open into a vast world of her imagination. This is a world where
color, patterns, and movement bear witness to her fascination with
the infinite.
Yayoi Kusama came onto New York’s 1960s art scene as a female
counterpart to Andy Warhol of sorts, expressing herself in a mixture of
art, fashion, and happenings. Since then, her striking visual language
and constant artistic innovation have rightfully earned Kusama a
position as one of the most prominent artists of our times.
