I Hear Your Dreams: Contemporary Art from Norway
OCAT Shanghai is delighted to present "I Hear Your Dreams", a group exhibition of Norwegian contemporary art, which will be on display from July 7 to September 8.
The exhibition includes five leading Norwegian contemporary artists who are actively engaged on the international stage: Anne Katrine Dolven, Ignas Krunglevičius, Camille Norment, Jana Winderen and Tori Wrånes. The selected five leading artists from Norway all work with sound and time-based media, which helped shape a particular perspective for the project. The proposed exhibition title, I Hear Your Dreams, derives from curiosity. It explores, interprets and extends our imaginations and desires, and more significantly, the ways in which we make visual and/or audio narratives through our daily experiences.
This will be the first exclusive art exhibition showcasing Norwegian contemporary art in Eastern China, and takes part in the 65-year diplomatic anniversary of China and Norway in 2019.
