Nerdrummuséet
Få har skapt større stormer i norsk kulturliv. Odd Nerdrum har ikke bare en imponerende produksjon bak seg, han har også vært den mest markante kraften for revitaliseringen av klassisk figurasjon i Norge og verden forøvrig.
Hans livsverk består i hovedsak av oljemalerier med utførelse og størrelsesorden efter barokkens idealer. Flere av disse eies av store og viktige museumsinstitusjoner, som Metropolitan Museum of Art i New York, New Orleans Museum of Art og Contemporary Art of San Diego, samt vårt eget Nasjonalmuseum i Oslo.
Nu skal den selverklærte kitsch-maleren endelig få eget museum, et fast visningssted for malerier og tegninger fra hele 60 år med penselen som arbeidsgiver. Valg for lokasjon er malerens egen hjemby, Stavern.
Muséet
Et stenkast nord for Stavern ligger historiske Agnes. Industriområdet opplever for tiden mye endring i forbindelse med utbygging av kanalbyen Sjøparken. Det naturlige sentrum i Agnes er allikevel Pipehuset, det gamle industribygget som en gang huset en fyrstikkfabrikk og livnærte dusinvis av familier i området.
Pipehuset skal nu pusses opp og bygges om til museum. Med varsom tilnærming skal historien bevares, samtidig som nytt liv skal inta teglstensbygget når malerier skal pryde veggene.
Stavern
Norges minste by representerer grensen mellom Oslofjorden og Sørlandet. Med idylliske Fredriksvern kirke i sentrum, kan Stavern skilte med å være en turistmagnet, og for å ha vært hjemstedet til bautaskikkelser som Herman Wildenvey, Jonas Lie, Ørnulf Bast og Odd Nerdrum.

Odd Nerdrum and his former student Jan-Ove Tuv sit down for a conversation in the building which is the Nerdrum Museum in the making: The old Pipe House at Agnes Square outside of Stavern.With a philosophical approach to painting, the discussion will move beyond the strokes and attempt to explain the meaning of painting. Join a one hour conversation about: • The importance of Rembrandt’s melancholy• Why storytelling is so important to us• Why “modern” values are destructive for classical painters and the audience. The event will take place September 14th at 17:00 – 18:00. Tickets are now available.

«Maleren fra Norden»: Odd Nerdrum stiller ut i Warszawa
11th August is the date set for the opening of Odd Nerdrum’s solo exhibition at the Uljazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art (UCCCA) in Warsaw. The exhibition is titled Painter of the North and features many recent paintings. The UCCCA writes in their press release statement that: “Odd Nerdrum has become one of the most accomplished Norwegian painters since Edvard Munch. A defining moment in his early years was seeing Rembrandt’s painting The Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis in the National Museum of Fine Arts in Stockholm.” Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art. Photo: Filip Kwiatkowski – In Nerdrum’s paintings, Mankind is situated in an abysmal, mythological world beyond what we usually associate with ‘history’, time and space, says Jon Eirik Lundberg, who is curating the exhibition. He calls Nerdrum’s imagery “a completely new world and a language of signs and symbols,” imitating myths and tales. – But this is not some earlier version of mankind; these people are us, Nerdrum’s contemporaries, only stripped of our modern outfits. Time is absent. They are inhibiting ‘an eternal present’. Not post-apocalyptical, not after some global destruction, but rather as we live today in our essence, Lund continues. The exhibition will be on view from 11th August through 10th of December 2023.
