Kistefos presents the 2025 programme ✨
In 2025, Kistefos will present an exhibition programme with works by three internationally renowned contemporary artists: Christina Quarles, Kathleen Ryan and Nairy Baghramian. Through the theme ‘The Corporeal and Intersectionality’, this year's programme invites an in-depth reflection on the body as both physical form and cultural symbol, while offering visually striking artistic experiences.
Quarles, Ryan and Baghramian have each established themselves as leading figures in the field of contemporary art. Their work ranges from Quarles' colour-saturated abstract paintings that explore complex identities, to Ryan's magnificent sculptures that blend humour and poignancy in their reflection on decay, and Baghramian's poetic marble sculpture that combines vulnerability and monumentality.
Through this year's exhibitions, as well as the innovative curatorial programme ‘Springbrett’, Kistefos continues to facillitate unique encounters between art, nature and architecture, highlighting new voices and perspectives in the international art scene.
The season runs from May 4th to October 12th.
