What happens when a work of art becomes the starting point for something new?

Ali Smith and Jenny Hval have both engaged with Edvard Munch’s art – from different perspectives and using different methods. Smith has used Munch’s images as a gateway to new literary forms, including in her essay So in to the Spruce Forest, written for the exhibition Trembling Earth. As moderator, Hval brings her own experience of working with Munch’s visual world across media, through compositions such as The Glowing Room (2021) and Join the Sound (2024).
