Welcome to the opening of the tenth edition of Silver Series, presenting artist and filmmaker Johan Grimonprez, director of the Oscar-nominated documentary Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat.

Featuring a selection of works spanning from the 1990s to the present, this retrospective exhibition offers insight into Grimonprez's decades-long investigation of how images actively construct political reality. He examines media spectacles and propaganda, exploring how fear circulates through images and is instrumentalized by political power.

Johan Grimonprez will be present at the opening for a conversation with Oslo-based artist Knut Åsdam. We will screen a selection of his short films alongside one of his most acclaimed documentaries, dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y (1997). Free and open to all.
