Welcome to the exhibition opening of this fall’s major exhibition, Rivers of Emotion, Bodies of Ore, at Kunsthall Trondheim. Introduction by Lisa Rosendahl

The exhibition deals with the notion of extractivism – from the foundations in the 17thcentury of Trondheim’s prosperity through copper mining, until today’s many ways of extracting information, knowledge and emotions through social media and other digital communication. The exhibition, which has been curated by Lisa Rosendahl, presents works by Lise Autogena & Joshua Portway, David Blandy, Liv Bugge, Sean Dockray, Bodil Furu, Marianne Heier, Louis Henderson, Lawrence Lek, Hanna Ljungh, Rikke Luther, Ignas Krunglevičius, Eline McGeorge, Karianne Stensland and Anja Örn, Tomas Örn & Fanny Carinasdotter.
