SECESSION
2024

PROLOGUE
PART II

OPENING WEEKEND
21.06-22.06.24

EXHIBITION UNTIL
14.07.24

The Prologue Part II continues the metaphorical portrait of Stavanger based on its obsessions. These are not visible to the naked eye. You have to lean over the imaginary abyss that every city produces, almost to the point of falling into it, to begin to discern the shapes traced over the centuries by the tangle of epic narratives nibbling away at reality. It is only from this vantage point that we can make out the mighty pillars of this obscure project bearing the name of Stavanger. There are three of them: Lars Hertervig’s dark landscapes, the song of the oil sirens, and the insane machinery invented by the Quakers. Three heady obsessions that unfold throughout the public program and the exhibition organized for this 2024 edition.
