Bergen, Vestland, Norway
Bergen Kunsthall is one of the most prominent spaces for contemporary art in Norway. Established in 1837, initially as Bergen Kunstforening, the organization presents exhibitions, events and learning activities in an early functionalist building designed by the architect Ole Landmark, with gallery spaces, a café and bookshop. Bergen Kunsthall is supported by the Ministry of Culture, the City of Bergen and the Hordaland Region.
Index is based in the center of Stockholm and offers an ambitious program of exhibitions, events and learning activities for a wide range of audiences. Exhibition and projects are accompanied by an extensive public program, often produced in collaboration with other organizations in Stockholm and abroad, with talks and film screenings, music, dance and poetry events. Index takes risks and opens up various ways to encounter contemporary culture and debate. Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2015, Index is today one of the most important and longest-standing spaces for contemporary art in Scandinavia.
