Mette Hammer Juhl—Time Killer; 18 August—19 September

Opening 18 August 19:00–22:00
Mette Hammer Juhl (DK) is a visual artist based in Copenhagen working with sound, sculpture, video and site-specific installations. Her work, often collaborative and based on collective research, explores how our cultural understandings of fun and entertainment are shaped through economic, social and political ideologies, and how this, in turn, has transformed our ideas of freedom, escape, boredom and recreation.
Prior exhibitions include Hygum Kunstmuseum (DK), Four Boxes Gallery (DK), Bergen Kunsthall (NO), Den Frie (DK), Institut Funder Bakke (DK), Vermilion Sands (DK), First Draft (AU), Copenhagen Contemporary (DK), and Auto Italia (UK).
The exhibition is kindly supported by Oslo kommune
