Playing Pieces
When art history is written, there’s nothing inevitable about it. Museums, artists, researchers, collectors and politicians are all responsible for moving the playing pieces that make up the ‘game’ of art history. In this exhibition, Playing Pieces, we explore how art history is changing all the time. We do this by taking a closer look at the art collection of an important player in the Norwegian art scene: The Savings Bank Foundation DNB.
In Playing Pieces, interactive digital tools will give visitors new ways of engaging with the world-class art in the exhibition. For the very first time, visitors will have an opportunity to view artworks from the Foundation’s diverse collection under one roof. Our aim is for the exhibition to encourage reflection: Who collects? Who makes the decisions? And how does this influence art history and our shared cultural heritage?
