Kier Cooke Sandvik / Surged — Kunstakademiet Oslo Public Programme

MFA students at KHIO have conventionally been examined in a group exhibition at the end of their studies*. This academic year, and for the first time, the final year Master students will present individual projects in different spaces at KHIO and around Oslo. These 14 newly developed projects will be diverse in form and will take place at different times during the spring semester. Some of the projects will open simultaneously so that audiences can experience up to five presentations at the same time. * The graduating students will still take part in a curated group exhibition at Kunstnernes Hus in April 2021. This exhibition, however, will no longer be their final exam.

Kier Cooke Sandvik / Surged

There's a little light I don't know anymore where it's coming from. Everything that isn't touching my eyes is gone. Not blacked out, just gone into the dark mist that's blotting out everything. The mist goes back and back...

-Kathy Acker, Blood and Guts in High School

Each confirmation or denial brings you closer to the object, until finally you are, as it were, inside it: the contours you have drawn no longer marking the edge of what you have seen, but the edge of what you have become.

-John Berger, Berger On Drawing
