Kader Attia in conversation with William Flatmo

August 30, 2024

Kistefos presents renowned artist Kader Attia in conversation with Director for the Christen Sveaas Art Collection, and commissioning curator for Kistefos’ sculpture park, William Flatmo. The event will explore Attia’s practice as well as the latest work commissioned for the Kistefos Sculpture Park: Kader Attia, Whistleblower.

Kader Attia’s Whistleblower is a poignant reflection on the tension between natural elements and human-made objects. The inspiration for the work comes from the sound created when the wind passes through the neck of a bottle—a simple yet powerful symbol of the interaction between nature and culture.

This event offers a unique opportunity to gain insight into the themes and creative processes behind Attia's work, as he delves into the intersections of memory, identity, and repair that define his powerful sculptures. Discover the inspiration behind "Whistleblower" and how it continues the dialogue between art, history, and activism.
