Save the date!

We are pleased to welcome you the opening of Emilie Louise Gossiauxs' first ever solo exhibition in Europe, Kinship Thursday 26 September at 6 pm.

Oda Oftung from the organization "Unge Funksjonshemmede" (Young People with Disabilities) will inaugurate the exhibition, followed by an opening speech by Trond Åm, Trondheim's City Counsellor for culture, sport and leisure.

Have you ever had someone depend entirely on you? Or have you ever depended entirely on someone else? Kinship, an exhibition at Kunsthall Trondheim, joyfully captures these deep connections through the story of an artist and a dog. Featuring drawings, painted sculptures, and a newly commissioned installation of one hundred painted ceramic objects spanning two gallery floors, Kinship invites reflections on your own interdependence with others while embracing your animal self.

Artist Emilie Louise Gossiaux first met London, a blonde English Labrador Retriever, the day after her 24th birthday. London entered Emilie's life three years after a traffic accident caused Emilie's blindness. For over a decade since then, London has been not only Emilie's guide dog but also a close companion and muse.
