The Printed and the Built
In collaboration with the Museum of Cultural History, Oslo, the master students have designed permanent and contemporary exhibitions in Henrik Bull’s monumental museum at Tullinløkka (1903). Based on in-depth studies of collections and display techniques, the projects present curatorial interventions emphasizing the lost spatial qualities of the galleries. The result are re-interpretations of a diversity of archaeological and ethnographic material, spanning from Arctic fur and Norwegian polychrome sculpture to X-ray photography and Henrik Bull’s lost vitrines. The students have produced a catalog with essays dealing with theoretical and historical museum topics.
