THE ART COMMITTEE
June 11
Our Final Summer Event
Vestfossen Kunstlaboratory
Ida Lorentzen: The Silence Afterwards
(N.B.!!! We are privileged to have Ida Lorentzen as our guide)
VESTFOSSEN is a three-story gallery which offers 3 different exhibitions
(there is a lift to all floors).
The third floor is devoted to Ida Lorentzen and Michael O’Donnell’s exhibition
The Silence Afterwards. While Lorentzen mainly concentrates on paintings and
drawings, O’Donnell’s production includes sculptures, installations, video
works, and multi-media works. This is where we will begin our tour.
Everyone may then go down to the second floor, which shows the Mezzannine
VKL-Collection (Vestfoss Kunstlaboratorium). The VKL Collection ranges from
works by artists of past generations who were central to Norwegian art history to
works by younger and international artists.
On the first floor, the exhibition Can’t See the Forest showcases works of trees,
bushes, and other types of vegetation by 76 artists, mostly from Norway.
Vestfossen was a pulp mill, and this floor is a wilderness of artworks. Ida
Lorentzen’s husband, Ulf Nilsen, has a large painting on show which many of
you will remember from our visit to his studio.
