We have created a catalogue for the exhibition ‘Mad and Brilliant?’ about what happened to Hans Gjesme's artistry while he was admitted to Gaustad Hospital for sixteen years.
The catalogue includes a foreword by Art Department DirectorTor Martin Leknes, an article by senior advisor Ingrid Norum, Hans Gjesme's timeline and photos of many artworks from the period.
The catalogue is 68 pages long, in Norwegian and English, and will be on sale at Sogn Kunstsenter for NOK 225 from around 9-11 July 2025.
The catalogue is funded by Musea i Sogn og Fjordane, Fritt Ord and Lærdal Municipality.
If you would like the catalogue sent to you for postage, please contact: Sogn Art Centre by Guro Nesse, guro.nesse@laerdal.kommune.no, 57 64 12 00 / 95 89 49 53.
