2025-06-05 | Atta Kwami: in first major international posthumous group exhibition

Our late fellow Atta Kwami's work is presented in the first major posthumous international group exhibition Space Making at the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art in Oslo, Norway.

Space Making is an exhibition addressing depth and spatiality in painting. It features the work of eight artists, who span generations and bridge contemporary positions with historical context.

The modernist notion of painting as a medium of flatness and two-dimensionality has always also implied its ability to create a sense of space and depth. The artists presented here employ the language of painting as a vehicle for spatial construction: on canvas, in architecture, and as a conceptual tool.

Artists: Hanne Borchgrevink, Robert Burnier, Miyoko Ito, Atta Kwami, Julia Rommel, Gerda Scheepers, Vivian Suter and Vegard Vindenes.

Curated by Solveig Øvstebø and Owen Martin

You can see the exhibition until 24 August.
