Embracing Perplexity, Ole Jørgen Ness, Galleri Riis, Oslo, 24. November 2011 - 22. January 2012
The Ole Jørgen Ness exhibition at Galleri Riis carries a palpably physical and organic presence. The result is a painterly condition at the very edge of the precipice. | Fragments of an oeuvre | 23.01.12 |
Simen Dyrhaug 1979-2008 Collected works, Simen Dyrhaug, Dortmund Bodega, Oslo, 9. Dezember - 30. Dezember 2011
Chaos still reigns when Dortmund Bodega reopens in a new space with the exhibition Simen Dyrhaug 1979-2008 Collected works. This time around the artist is also cultivated as a figure. | A story from the ‘90s | 20.01.12 |
We Have a Body, Mette Winckelmann, Den Frie Udstillingsbygning, Copenhagen, 3. Dezember 2011 - 29. Januar 2012

De ou par Marcel Duchamp par Ulf Linde, Exhibition produced jointly by The Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts and Moderna Museet., The Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, Stockholm, 30. September - 13. November 2011
Ulf Linde's half a century of work on Marcel Duchamp was presented at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. Geometry is at the center and Duchamp turns out to be an artist obsessed with the missing eighth. | The transparent exhibition | 17.10.11 |

The problem with Seeing is believing at Kunstwerke in Berlin can be called an overestimation of the transparent powers of the exhibition as a form to accommodate works of pictorial criticism. Av Karl Lydén
| Art and prostitution | 07.10.11 |
Kvinder til salg (Women for sale), The Workers' Museum, Copenhagen, 27. August - 29. Dezember 2011
