Lessons In The Art Of Falling

The exhibition «Lessons in the Art of Falling - Norwegian Performance and Process Art 1966–2009» presents an important, but forgotten, part of recent Norwegian art history.

This art – referred to as avantgarde, time based, and performative – is characterized by its manifestation not in an object, but taking place in front of an audience. This live art leaves another type of object – the photographic documentation. The exhibition has a double purpose. It focuses on the relationship between artist and photographer, and between art work and documentation. At the same time, the exhibition is the first attempt to write a history of Norwegian performance and process art from the 1960´s until today.
