KATHARINA GROSSE

Katharina Grosse’s solo institutional exhibition Black Bed will open at MUNCH, Oslo, this autumn. The exhibition title is taken from a new installation that reimagines one of Grosse’s seminal pieces, Das Bett, 2004, in which the artist spray-painted her bedroom in Düsseldorf, along with her furniture, clothes and belongings, destroying them in the process of creating the work.

Grosse describes Black Bed as connecting to the emotional and psychological themes of life and death in the work of Edvard Munch. In preparation for this exhibition, Grosse will spend time working in Munch’s studio at Ekely in Oslo, creating new works that add another dimension to the dialogue between the two artists.
