Welcome to KODE! nyhetsbrev: kodebergen.no KODEBERGEN.NO 2 3 KODE 2 28.9. 2016 26.2. 2017 SØLVSKATTEN 1816 Nasjonsbygging gjennom dugnad og tvang: En utstilling om verdier og tillit. I år er det 200 år siden Norge fikk sin egen nasjonalbank. Bankens finansielle sikkerhet var forankret i et sølvfond, reist ved hjelp av private bidrag, på folkemunne kalt «sølvskatten». Sølvbyen Bergen øser fra en rik arv, og utstillingen gir oss anledning til å vise et utvalg av dette arvesølvet, presentert i lys av en historisk hendelse av stor nasjonal betydning. Landets innbyggere bidro med både sølvgjenstander og mynt, og i utstillingen presenteres ni av de 876 bergenserne som betalte inn til sølvfondet. Begreper som verdier og tillit er sentrale tema i utstillingen. Slik åpner den for en rekke spørsmål om hva sølvet har betydd for oss, kulturelt, estetisk og symbolsk. Sølvskatten 1816 er en del av Norges Banks 200-årsjubileum og er et utvidet samarbeid mellom Universitets- museet i Bergen, Bymuseet i Bergen og KODE. Samarbeidet omfatter en jubileumskatalog, en byvandrings-app og jubileumsutstillingen i KODE 2. Utstillingen er støttet av Norges Bank og Sparebanken Vest. THE SILVER TAX 1816 Nation Building through Volunteerism and Coercion: An exhibition about values and trust. 200 years ago Norway established its own national bank. The fledgling Norwegian nati- on was bankrupt, so setting up a central bank could only happen with the help of private backing. The bank, however, would be under state control. When the bank was established, its financial security consisted of a silver fund that was acquired through a conscription popularly called ‘the silver tax’. Norway’s inhabitants contributed both silver objects and coins. The exhibition presents nine of the 876 inhabitants from Bergen who contributed to this silver fund. Concepts such as values and trust are key themes in the exhibition, so also the way in which we relate to silver. The city of Bergen has been home to many silversmiths who have left a rich legacy. The exhibition gives us the opportunity to show a selection of Bergen’s heirloom silver and to present it in light of a historical event of great national significance. The Silver Tax 1816, which is part of Norges Bank’s 200th anniversary celebration, is produced through colla- boration between the University Museum of Bergen, Bergen City Museum and KODE. Collaborative projects include the making of an anniversary catalogue, a city walk app, and an anniversary exhibition. Supported by Norges Bank and Sparebanken Vest. ONSDAG 28.9.

KODE CONTEMPORARY A rich selection of notable Norwegian and international artists are represented in KODE’s collection of art from 1980 to today. Echoing the great breadth of contemporary art, the exhibition presents art media such as photo, sculpture, video, land art, painting and installation.

Rasmus Meyer (1858–1916) var blant de første viktige samlere av Edvard Munchs kunst og sikret seg hovedverk fra alle Munchs perioder. Samlingen hans ble donert til Bergen i 1916 og i det som i dag er en av verdens viktigste samlinger av Munchs kunst, finner man verk som Sjalusi, Melankoli, Kvinnen i tre stadier og Aften på Karl Johan. Rasmus Meyers Samlinger er også regnet som en av de ypperste samlinger av norsk kunst fra «gullalderen» 1880 til 1905, med historiske bergensinteriører og høydepunkter fra karrierene til kunstnere som J.C. Dahl, Hans Gude, Harriet Backer og Gerhard Munthe. Dette bygget byr på historisk sus, knakende tregulv og storslått stemning. THE RASMUS MEYER COLLECTION AND EDVARD MUNCH A delightful wander through Norwegian highlights in art, and one of the world’s finest collections of art by Edvard Munch. As one of the first important collectors of Edvard Munch’s art, Rasmus Meyer (1858–1916) acquired chief works from all periods of Munch’s oeuvre. Meyer’s collection was donated to the city of Bergen in 1916, and in what is today one of the world’s most important collections of Munch’s art, you can find works such as Jealousy, Melancholy, The Woman in Three Stages and Evening on Karl Johan. The Rasmus Meyer Collection is considered to be one of the finest collections of art from the Norwegian ‘golden age’ (1880–1905). It also includes historical interiors from Bergen, plus highlights from the careers of such artists as J.C. Dahl, Hans Gude, Harriet Backer and Gerhard Munthe. The building itself offers historical vibrations, a squeaky wooden floor and an opulent atmosphere. 15.11. – 20.11.

En ny utstil- ling, med verk som stilles ut for første gang, viser hvordan Astrup ble den kunstneren vi kjenner i dag. Hvorfor brukte Nikolai Astrup farger på en spesiell måte? Hvordan oppsto hangen til å gjengi fantasifulle detaljer i landskapene? I 2016 lanseres Nikolai Astrup internasjonalt. Mens store deler av samlingen er på turné, viser KODE en ny utstilling som ser nærmere på hva som påvirket kunstneren. Astrup erklærte seg selv som en «naturalistisk naivist» og utstillingen forklarer hva som ligger i dette begrepet. Her vises for første gang Astrups store samling av egne barndomstegninger, som han senere brukte til inspirasjon i arbeidet. Utstillingen viser også Astrups inspirasjonskilder, som J.C. Dahl og Harriet Backer, satt opp mot egne verk og studiearbeider. NIKOLAI ASTRUP – THE WAY HOME An artist should see nature as would a child, claimed Astrup. This exhibition focuses on the artist’s early works, examining his development towards naïvism. Several featured works have never before been publically exhibited. Why did Nikolai Astrup use colour in such a special way? How did his penchant for including imaginative and mysterious details in landscapes arise? In 2016 the art of Nikolai Astrup will be launched internationally. While must of the collection is on tour, KODE opens a new exhi- bition focusing on Astrup’s influences. This artist declared himself to be a ‘naturalistic naïvist’. The exhibition traces the germ of this concept and includes the large collection of Astrup’s childhood drawings, which he later used as inspiration for his mature works. Other sources of inspiration, including works by J.C. Dahl and Harriet Backer, will be shown alongside Astrup’s student works. Nikolai Astrup (1880–1928).

Kitty Kiellands brev til Dagmar Skavlan, Eilif Peterssen og Arne Garborg Sofie Steensnæs Engedal http://www.duo.uio.no Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo V VI VII Sammendrag Kitty Lange Kielland (1843–1914) var både en engasjert samfunnsdebattant og den første store norske kvinnelige landskapsmaleren. I denne masteroppgaven foretar jeg en tematisk analyse av brevene hennes til Dagmar Skavlan, Eilif Peterssen og Arne Garborg, ved å se på hvordan hun skriver om kropp, helse, sosialt liv, kunstarbeidet, vær, geografi, kvinnesaken og selve brevskrivingen. Den russiske litteraturviteren og filosofen Mikhail Bakhtin hevdet at ingen ytringer står isolerte, og dette kommer til syne i analysen min, som viser at hun er en svært selvbevisst brevskriver som forholder seg ulikt til de tre mottakerne og skriver forskjellig til søsteren, maleren og forfatteren. Ved å ta utgangspunkt i disse brevene viser jeg en større bredde hos Kitty Kielland som brevskriver enn det jeg mener har blitt lagt frem før. Til tross for å ha vært fremtredende på flere arenaer finner jeg at Kitty Kielland til stadighet i ettertidens fremstillinger blir satt i relasjon til menn, med spesielt en interesse for å grave i kjærlighetslivet hennes.
  • Nikolai Astrup in Dulwich

    Nikolai Astrup in Dulwich

    Megan Bradshaw Nikolai Astrup in Dulwich Painting Norway: Nikolai Astrup, Dulwich Picture Gallery, until 15 May 2016 I wished . to wash myself in the raw colours of Western Norway in order to cleanse myself of everything that I may have ingested from the art of others in order to escape from all the influences and to arrive at my own [style] . – Nikolai Astrup Since 1905, Nikolai Astrup has been lionized in Norwegian art history. The year marked Norway’s independence from Sweden, ending four centuries of foreign rule, as well as the artist’s first exhibition. But the abounding, verdant glories of Astrup, who painted so prolifically and died so young, are little recognized outside his home country. Bringing together over 120 oil paintings and archival material, many on public display for the first time, “Painting Norway: Nikolai Astrup 1880-1928” is the artist’s first major international exhibition, commencing at London’s Dulwich Picture Gallery. The exhibition will then return full circle to Oslo’s Henie Onstad Kunstsenter museum, before spending the winter in Germany, at Kun- sthalle Emden. The first scholarly literature in English on Astrup was pub- lished in 2010; the exhibition in Dulwich is, in effect, the first time that the Norwegian artist has been transported and translated for English-speaking viewers. ‘Nikolai Astrup is considered the quintessential Norwegian artist’, the art historian MaryAnne Stevens states in the show’s exceptional catalogue. During the two decades leading up to independence, young Norwegian artists, including

En fellesbiografi Forfatter: Nina Steihaug https://bora.uib.no/ IV Sammendrag/Summary The title of the thesis is: A Marriage of Musicians. Agathe Backer Grøndahl and Olaus Andreas Grøndahl. A Collective Biography. The theme is the marriage of Agathe Backer Grøndahl (1847– 1907) and Olaus Andreas Grøndahl (1847–1923) (also known as O. A. Grøndahl and Olam Grøndahl) of Kristiania1 in Norway. The couple were married in 1875 and both were prominent musicians during the second half of the 19th century. Agathe was a famous pianist with an international career, a prolific composer of piano and songs and a piano teacher for a new generation of Norwegian professional pianists. Olam started his musical career as a singer, a tenor soloist, and composer, but later acted as a choir master and conductor of several male and mixed choirs and served as a music teacher at numerous schools. He also participated in the development of the music teaching in Norway, acting for the Government, at the time of the formation of the new national state. The couple lived in Kristiania, had three children and led a comparatively quiet home life, but travelled extensively at times, mostly on separate musical tours. The problem addressed is how a married woman by the end of the 19th century could be a professional musician, a public figure and earn her own money for the support of the family, take her space in the public sphere as an extremely popular concert pianist and at the same time being a conventional upper society housewife.

She is best known for her detailed inte- rior scenes, communicated with rich colors and exquisite lighting. Harriet Backer was one of four daugh- ters born to Nils and Sophie Backer. They resided in Holmestrand, Vestfold, Norway. Her father Nils was a ship merchant, and her mother had come from a wealthy family. Their status in life enabled the girls to have a cultured upbringing, an education with fo- cus in music and the arts. Each of the sisters was gifted. Harriet’s younger sister Agathe (Backer Grøndahl), became a well known concert pianist, and is considered Norway’s greatest female composer. The eldest sister Inga was educated as a singer in Berlin, but she only shared her talent with the family, and not professionally. Her youngest sister Margrethe was a painter. She also was the Senior Matron at the Royal Palace, and in addition to her work, she had eight children, which allowed little time to pursue an artistic career.

Warren IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Gabriel P. Weisberg, Adviser December 2014 Erica L. Warren Copyright 2014 Acknowledgements In beginning a document that thinks about the longing for home, I find myself overcome with gratitude for those who have provided me with a home, a home that made beginning and finishing this document possible. Home is “the place where one lives or was brought up” as well as “a refuge, a sanctuary; a place or region to which one naturally belongs or where one feels at ease.”1 I feel myself to have “been brought up” as an art historian within the Department of Art History at the University of Minnesota, and it is a place where I feel at ease, a place where I have felt the comfort of supportive and encouraging words from intelligent, engaged, kind, and warm-hearted people. The sort of people that critique chapter drafts, calm fears and frustrations, and provide much needed moments of respite from self-doubt. I know that without the friendship and support of my fellow graduate students the project here would never have been. I am glad to know you, glad to have spent time with you, to have learned from you, to have endured trials, and to have laughed with you. I also must express gratitude to my advisor, Dr.

It is a shame one could say, but it was a shame already 50 years ago. Now, it is well beyond embarrassing. The sign at the entrance to the cemetery - which informs tourists and other visitors where to fnd the grave of Henrik Ibsen, Edvard Munch or any other distinguished Norwegians – can not be bothered about one of the greatest painters and certainly one of the greatest female artists of Norwegian art history. Then again, Harriet Backer would not necessarily have been expecting such a privilege. After all, she lived her life during a time when women were left to expect less of any sort of privilege. Born in 1845, she was brought up on the outskirts of Oslo in a home with a great interest in literature, theatre and music. But, being less musically gifted than her two sisters, the twelve year old Harriet was told by her mother: "If you will stop playing the piano, you will rather - once you reach the age of confrmation - be given permission to study painting." The young Harriet was both enthused and distressed, being equally in love with music and painting.

Kielland var nyankommet, mens han hadde siden 1871 studert ved kunstakademiet under professor Hans Gude. Dette ble starten på et livslangt vennskap og også samvær som kunstnerkolleger. I nærmere tre år bodde begge i München hvor Peterssen var lærer for flere norske kvinnelige kunstnere, og også Kielland hadde nytte av hans rettledning. Men det var en gjensidighet i forholdet fra starten av: … det er Ingen som jeg har sådan Glæde af som af ett Par af dem – Frøken Backer og Kielland, Nørgård. De ere virkelige så elskværdige og fine Damer, at jeg er dem taknemmelig for mangen en hyggelig Stund. De ere så opmærksomme og elskværdige mod mig; og de Aftener, jeg har havt dem samlede på mit Atelier […] har være ubetinget de hyggeligste Aftener jeg har havt hernede, – det ser da så malerisk og koseligt ud i mit Atelier skriver Peterssen hjem til foreldrene i brev datert 13. april 1876. (NB Brevs. 209) Kielland og Peterssen var begge opptatt av kunstnerpolitiske spørsmål og deltok i debatten om kunstnernes kår og tok tillitsverv i foreninger.
