Talk: The Damned, The Possessed, and The Beloved: A conversation about art, architecture and witchcraft
Louise Bourgeois' work The Damned, The Possessed and The Beloved (2011) was the artist's last monumental work. The site-specific installation at Steilneset in Vardø was begun during the last years of Bourgeois’ life, and is a memorial to the witch persecutions in Finnmark in the 17th century. In this conversation you get to know the Steilneset memorial site better, in a conversation with curator Briony Fer and artist Knut Wold.
