Opening of the season KHMessen Art Park

Opening of the season KHMessen Art Park with new artwork

by the artist Arne Ingvaldsen

Saturday 27 April at 15.00
there will be a season opening with a new work of art in Messen Kunstpark in Ålvik.

The artist Arne Ingvaldsen, from Bergen, has worked in Kunstnarhuset Messen in April and has
created the new artwork in the Art Park.
Mayor Torgeir Næss will be responsible for the official opening.
In addition, the artist himself will tell about his work.

After the opening in the Kunstparken, we would like to invite the public into the Kunstnarhuset Messen.
Arne Ingvaldsen will show a digital presentation of previous sculpture projects and art works he has made.

The other guest artists will also keep the doors of their studios open.
Here you can freely pop in and see what’s going on
and what they are working on.
Coffee and tea are also served in the lounge.

 

ABOUT ARNE INGVALDSEN
Arne Ingvaldsen (1947) from Os, living in Bergen, is educated at the Bergen Academy of the Arts, and NTNU, Faculty of
architecture and design in Trondheim. With a background as an architect and artist, he often works with
city-specific installations. Whether he takes the entire gallery space in use or as in Messen Kunstpark takes
based on the outdoor area he has available and adapts to the surroundings.
Ingvaldsen has had a number of public art commissions both outside and inside.
He has been and is a visible artist with many solo and group exhibitions.
In 2011 he had here in Kvam a colorful exhibition at Kunsthuset Kabuso, where he used the windows themselves for his works.

Open Studio March

We at KHMessen feel so grateful and privileged that we can select and invite such fantastic artists for a residency at the Hardangerfjord.
This was once again so visible and tangible when seeing and experiencing the work of these strong artists and wonderful women. Thank you for showing your works and processes and for being here.
Sad to have to say goodbye again:
