Each spring, Bergen Kunsthall hosts the graduation exhibition with students from the Master’s Programme in Fine Art at UiB’s Faculty of Art, Music and Design (KMD). This year, twenty-seven artists from eleven countries present their work in Picnic, a large-scale exhibition spanning the institution and its adjacent public gardens, curated by Randi Grov Berger.
VISP, with the gracious support of KMD, invites you to a panel talk about Picnic. We have invited three visiting art critics to give their opinions on this year´s show:
