Astrup Fearnley Museet presents Space Making, an exhibition exploring painting’s capacity to create depth and spatiality. At a time when figurative painting dominates, this show reaffirms abstraction’s vital role in contemporary art.
Featuring over 110 works by eight intergenerational artists from Argentina, Ghana, Norway, South Africa, and the United States, the exhibition bridges contemporary practices with historical context. These artists – some established, some emerging – employ the language of painting as a vehicle for spatial construction: on canvas, in architecture, and as a conceptual tool.
A highlight is the first European institutional presentation of Miyoko Ito, represented by six
