Årsutstillingen 21

The Annual Exhibition, in Norwegian called 'Årsutstillingen', is a juried exhibition based on an open call for entries. The exhibition aims to take the pulse of current material-based art in Norway.0The first Annual Exhibition was produced in 1975, the same year that the Norwegian Association for Arts and Crafts (NK) was founded. The exhibition is held annually in collaboration with one of the art museums of Norway with a national mandate, The National Museum in Oslo being its most frequent host over time, together with the national art museums in Bergen and Trondheim. During a six-year period, from 2003?2008, the exhibition showcased one group of material-based arts at a time in so-called triennials. From 2009, all groups of materials were again included each year. The exhibition is hosted by KODE Art Museums in Bergen in 2019 og Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum in Tromsø in 2020. 00Exhibition: Sørlandets Kunstmuseum, Kristiansand, Norway (02.10.-28.11.2021).
