Bjørn Melhus: LOST IN FINITY – Opening Evening

silent green presents

This summer, silent green dedicates a major solo exhibition to the artist Bjørn Melhus. LOST IN FINITY unfolds as an immersive overall installation conceived specifically for the Betonhalle. Melhus stages the exhibition space as a circuit through the medial, collective unconscious of the 20th and 21st centuries, as a cinematic narrative between human desires and fears, between visions of collapse and utopian possibility. The starting point is material featuring newly recombined excerpts from his artistic work of the past 35 years, which resonates with the present in uncanny ways: religious imagery meets pop-cultural end-time visions and technoid exit strategies.

On the evening of 16 July we cordially invite you to the grand opening of LOST IN FINITY. 

From 7 pm you will have the opportunity to join us for a drink on our lawn before we officially welcome you at 7:30 pm together with Bjørn Melhus.

Afterwards you can embark on the parcours and gain an initial impression of Melhus' work. It is based on newly recombined excerpts from his artistic work of the past 35 years, which resonates with the present in uncanny ways: religious imagery meets pop-cultural end-time visions and technoid exit strategies.
