Join us on a tailor-made journey in the exhibition with our art mediator. On a guided tour, you will get a general introduction to the exhibition followed by a deep dive into selected works.
Vanessa Baird (b. 1963) has established herself as one of Norway’s foremost visual artists since the 1990s. In her first exhibition at MUNCH, she presents more than 500 works in the spacious galleries of the museum's third floor.
Go Down with Me demonstrates how Baird's art evolves through repetitions and variations of the same themes, but also how they are influenced by private and political events. In her early works on gigantic canvases, we see Baird representing herself as young, thoughtful and yearning. Many of the images refer to male artistic geniuses – from Rodin to Munch – highlighting the underlying feminist perspective of the exhibition.
