On the occasion of the 19th International Literature Festival Berlin (ILB), the traveling exhibition "Georg Grosz meets Mulysses at Slush Mountain - Modern Illustrations from Norway" will be shown at the Felleshuset Berlin from SEPTEMBER 11 – SEPTEMBER 19, 2019.
Organisers
Work by eleven Norwegian illustrators will be on display, selected from a variety of new Norwegian picture books for both children and adults. Illustrations by Lisa Aisato, Per Dybvig, Lars Fiske, Stian Hole, Bendik Kaltenborn, Åshild Kanstad Johnsen, Bjørn R. Lie, Alice Lima de Faria, Gry Moursund, Kari Stai and Øyvind Torseter, representing a rich spectrum of expressions in both technique and theme. All of which can be found in books that are translated and available in German.
The touring exhibition will be on show throughout 2019, in a number of cities in Germany and Switzerland, including in Bremen, Leipzig and Hamburg. It is a collaboration between Grafill and NORLA, and will be rounded off with a separate viewing at Grafill's premises in Oslo in January 2020.
