Arve Håland, featured artist
Every semester, the Centre for Women's and Gender Research, invites an artist to exhibit their work in the seminar room at Ida Bloms house. This semester's featured artist is Arve Håland. In his paintings he uses effects that we would normally try to avoid - first of all rust, but also other kinds of discolouration - for a meaningful, aesthetic purpose.
Ida Bloms house
Centre for Women's and Gender Research (SKOK) is located in Ida Bloms house in Allégaten 34.
