Kalle Grude’s exhibition presents works from close to 40 years of artistic practice. The exhi­bition reac­tivates and establishes a dialogue between a selection of Grude’s projects from the early 1990s until No Problem (2024), a series of digitally enlarged charcoal drawings, made specifically for the Skylight Hall at Kunstner­forbundet.

Two principles seem to cut across an otherwise diverse artistic practice: coincidence and inter­action. Grude is particularly interested in un­pre­dictable situations that occur during interactions between the artist and participants in his projects – from simple, mechanical toy soldiers and indus­trial grinders to complex beings such as the artist himself, mice, exhibition audiences, and algorithm-based software.

The exhibition was made in collaboration with curator Gustav Elgin.
