Solo Exhibition

Tony Cragg - Material in Mind Kistefos Museum

Kistefos is delighted to present the first major survey exhibition in Norway of works by Tony Cragg. The exhibition in the Twist comprises 19 sculptures, including key works from the Christen Sveaas’ Art Foundation and Collection.

Cragg’s sculptures explore the interplay between materials, forms, negative and positive spaces while pushing to find new relationships between humans and the material world. The presentation spans the artist's five-decade career, from early found object ‘assemblage’ works inspired by the Arte Povera movement and ‘readymades’ to the sculptures created in recent years. The artist works in bronze, steel, aluminium, wood, plastic, glass and wax—pushing and challenging the possibilities of these materials. 

From the small scale to the monumental, Cragg’s practice is the outcome of a constantly questioning and experimental symbiotic process of thought and making, which always starts with drawing. With the support of his studio, Cragg makes his sculptures by hand, each evolution of thought taking form and inspiring the next.

Cragg represented Great Britain at the Venice Biennale in 1988, and won The Turner Prize the same year. His work is well represented at Kistsfos with 4 permanent works in the sculpture park. In addition to the works at Kistefos, works from the artist can also be found at Henie Onstad Art Centre, Skulpturlandskap Nordland, Ekeberg Sculpture Park and Astrup Fearnley Museum.
