Tom Sandberg – Photographs
This exhibition is the first major presentation in which paramount themes for this artist are studied in depth. Sandberg consistently works on a black-white scale, and his images balance between provocative plays of form and association-evoking contextual dimensions. The exhibition affords great insight into the artist’s development throughout the past twenty years. Close to sixty pictures, created over a long period in both large and small format are shown, but the main focus is on work from recent years.In connection with the exhibition NRK (Norwegian National Television) has produced a documentary film about the artist, to be shown in the week following the opening of the exhibition. A comprehensive book, with the main essay by the well-known art writer Gary Michael Dault is coming out. In connection with the exhibition a photo seminar will take place on Thursday, April 6 with Swedish photographer Hasse Persson as the main lecturer.
