«What makes an artistic community?» and «what does it mean to be an artist?» are questions that arise upon entering Hedda Hørran’s Gunstnernes hus. The ambition is simple: to create a house for art and artists. Consequently, BO is no longer merely an exhibition venue; it is also a studio and a home. With this redefining gesture, Hørran reflects a reality often inherent to an artistic career – that the boundary between public and private space is blurred, if not entirely erased.

Gunstnernes hus is not merely a passive representation, but an encouragement for direct action. Rooted in an anarchist core, it fosters a space where individual and collective interests are not seen as conflicting, but rather as codependent.

Building on this, artists and thinkers have been invited to contribute to the exhibition; introduced at the opening with a pizza performance by Kvae & Bark. Alongside ordinary opening refreshments, the artists will be serving pizza as long as the supply lasts.
