The art project consists of a 40-meter-long painting created by students from the Art Academy. Commissioned by Statsbygg, the artwork aims to provide a visual experience for the public and users of the area during the construction work that will continue over the next two years. The project has been carried out by a group of 12 students and offers an exciting contrast to the ongoing renovation work at the site.
The opening will feature speeches by:
Margareth Hagen – Rector, University of Bergen
Åsli Bøthun – Dean, KMD
Henning Seyffarth – Statsbygg
Professors Thomas Pihl and Eamon O’Kane – Art Academy
The artists will be present at the event.
Participating students:
Thea Rosenquist Appelrod, Peter Bjerg, Amanda Vedsted Drejer, Hanne Amalie Kvame Evjenth, Egil Forsberg, Saga Holmkvist, Erle Lem, Helena Lindqvist, Richard Yumba Ngombe, Kasper Noer, Leon Unsgaard Breife, and Valter West.
