What does nature mean to you? Is it a place for recreation, or meditation? Is it somewhere you can relax, get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life? Or is it something you measure your strength against, that lets you confront your fears?0For this exhibition, Toril Johannessen and Tue Greenfort started out by hiking to the mountain cabin of the philosopher Arne Næss on Hallingskarvet. One of their topics of conversation was Næss? ecosophy ? which views all life as valuable and the world as a single holistic entity. In NORSK NATUR, the artists extend this perspective, treating the exhibition as an ecosystem in which the artworks are organisms. Stepping into the exhibition we enter a world where everything is interconnected. The site-specific, relational work Åpne/lukke (Open/Close) encompasses the other works like an ecosystem. Here the artists invite us to open the doors of the former bank building and to embark on a voyage of discovery from one room to the next. The works we encounter converse with each other about themes such as energy and balance in ecosystems.00Exhibition: Museum of Contemporary Art, Oslo, Norway (17.09.2016?15.01.2017).
