The talk will focus on Norgaard’s solo exhibition, “Emotionally Invested” ~ on display at O—Overgaden until 4 May 2025.

In the new painting series created for O—Overgaden, Norgaard’s conceptual oil paintings humorously tease out the hierarchical highs and lows produced by contemporary society. If oil painting was once a cultural cornerstone in glorifying the upper class, Norgaard insists on flipping this narrative, instead focusing on mundane, everyday objects.

The conversation will be conducted in English.

The bar will be open, offering beer and alcohol-free beverages.

Entry is free, as is admission to all of O—Overgaden’s exhibitions.
