Alumni News: Catherine Alice Liberg's "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" Exhibition at Kunstverket Galleri, Oslo
Date: August 29 - September 22, 2024
Opening Event: Thursday, August 29 at 6:00 PM
Location: Kunstverket Galleri, Oslo
Artica Svalbard is delighted to share that Cathrine Alice Liberg, one of our resident alumni, will be presenting a solo exhibition, "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum / Theater of the World”, at Kunstverket Galleri in Oslo. This exhibition is the result of the work she developed during her three-month residency at Artica Svalbard, where she explored the historical and geopolitical importance of the Arctic.
Liberg's new works draw inspiration from ancient maps and Arctic exploration, combining these with contemporary themes to reflect on Svalbard's role as a crossroads of global interest. Her time at Artica Svalbard deeply influenced this body of work, which examines the Arctic as a "Res communis"—a shared space where history, myth, and modern geopolitics converge.
The exhibition will be on display at Kunstverket Galleri from August 29 to September 22. The opening event will take place on Thursday, August 29, at 6:00 PM, where the artist will be present to engage with visitors and discuss her work.
