We are excited to announce that The National Museum has acquired the work ‘Midnight cabinet’ by Bjørn Båsen for their collection. ___ Bjørn Båsen Midnight cabinet, 2020-2023 Oil paint, copper leaf and gesso on MDF and pine 105 cm x 45 cm x 45 cm ___ ‘Midnight cabinet’ is made in the Memento Mori tradition, and is visually inspired by both flemish alterpieces and painted cabinets from the 1500 and 1600´s. The writings on the inside of the doors is retrieved from Charles Baudelaires poem ‘Eit åtsel’ / Une charogne from the poem collection Fleurs du mal (1857), about a young couple who encountered a rotting cadaver, illustrating the fragile lines between life and death. The work was exhibited in 2022 at Nitja Centre for Contemporary art, under the solo exhibition Mythos. An earlier version of the work was also shown under the title 'De sade cabinet' in the solo exhibition Ghosts at LNM (The National association of Norwegian painters) in 2020. ___ 📷 : Jørgen Craig Lello / LNM

Gerd Tinglum En dag (uten tittel 12-23), 2026 Acrylic on canvas 45 x 35 cm ___ The exhibition ‘En dag, Ettermiddag, Resten av Dagen’ presents three new series by Gerd Tinglum. ‘En dag’ consists of 12 works for the 12 hours of the day. ‘Ettermiddag’ consists of 11 works for 11 plants encountered on a walk in October. ‘Resten av dagen’ is an object composed of discarded paintings. ___ In Tinglum’s contradictory use of both systematic structure and chance, new surfaces emerge in the interaction between the different layers of paint. Starting from control and systematics, the visual result cannot ultimately be directed. Tinglum creates striking visual paintings in which the concept and idea play the leading role. She provides the viewer with a title and a concept as an entry point to the works, and our gaze and thoughts move between the visual and the conceptual within the layers of meaning. The paths our thoughts may take, and the experience of the works, transform from what is immediately visible into a poetic exploration and search within and between the layers of color. ___ 📷: Øystein Thorvaldsen

Sunny first day in Stockholm for Market Art Fair ☀️

@qbgallery ’s presentation at Market Art Fair 2026 brings together @espengleditsch and @lars_morell Gleditsch’s photographs focus on early functionalist architecture, where utopian ideals meet a quiet sense of unease. Morell’s abstract bronze sculptures suggest organic forms that draw together and pull apart, echoing a sense of proximity and distance. Together, the works reflect on how modernist ideas continue to shape the spaces we inhabit.

Espen Gleditsch @haugarkunstmuseum Three works from the series Nostalgia are part of the new exhibition with highlights from the collection at Haugar kunstmuseum, opening this Saturday. «Three images from the series Nostalgia (2012) by Espen Gleditsch link light to perception. The photographs are object studies of Bohemia crystal prisms, scientific instruments used to split light and separate wavelengths of the colour spectrum. In a text presented alongside the photographs when they were first exhibited, Gleditsch recounted Captain Ross’s first expedition to the Northwest Passage in 1818. An optical illusion caused by the midnight sun over an icy sea led Ross to incorrectly report that a mountain range blocked the passage’s entrance. Photography relies on light to produce an accurate representation of reality; yet, the crystal prisms serve as a reminder that light is an integral part of material phenomena that depend on interpretation.» — Translation of wall label in the exhibition. 1: Nostalgia 4, 2012.
