Group exhibition Motvek(s)t, BO - in Oslo

04 May 2026

Welcome to Motvek(s)t at BO – Billedkunstnerne in Oslo. Opening May 13!

The group exhibition Motvek(s)t, seek to break away from the fairy tale of perpetual growth. The exhibition presents works by Ida Immonen (FI/NO), Istvan Virag (HU/NO), Madeleine Andersson (SE) and Marie Thams (DK), all of whom cast a critical eye on the growth paradigm of capitalism and contemporary labour conditions. Through their diverse practices, they open up alternative ways of understanding value, labour, time and community, inviting us to envision alternative frameworks.

PERFORMANCES on May 13 at 17.30-18.00 by Marie Thams, featurering the choir Diandre, as well at 19.00-19.55 by Madeleine Andersson.

The exhibition is curated by Koffi&Højaard and is realised with the generous support of the Norwegian Arts Council and the City of Oslo. The public programme is supported by Fritt Ord. The Danish Arts Foundation has supported the production of Marie Thams’ work production.

Exhibition venue: BO – Billedkunstnerne i Oslo, Rådhusgata 19, NO-0158 Oslo.

Listening with Books - artist talk and exhibition

29 Apr 2026

Welcome to an evening dedicated to artist books as sites for sound, listening, and voice.

Listening with Books
Simone Book Service
Vester Voldgade 106, st. tv, 1552 Copenhagen
5 May
17:00–19:00

Co-hosted by Bureau for Listening, the event brings together two artist talks that explore how listening and sonic practices can be composed, translated, and activated through the medium of the artist book.

The evening unfolds through two artist talks along with an exhibition opening.

Linn Henrichson & Lukas Lund on Anthology for Listening Vol. II
A comprehensive publication with more than 50 contributions that approaches the artist book as a site for listening, across disciplines, both as printed, online and live matter.

Marie Thams & Jacob Hagen Birch on This Biopolitical Arena
The publication gathers Thams' work with voice over the last decade, across sound, performance, and installation, translating vocal compositions into visual and textual forms that invite reading as a mode of listening. Developed in close collaboration with Jacob Hagen Birch, the book foregrounds how form, layout, and materiality supports the politics of voice and embodiment.

The exhibition Library for Listening will present a selection of artists' books for listening from within the Bureau for Listening's library, demonstrating the diversity of engagements with listening and sonic practices through the medium of the book.
