Online event, advance booking required

On the occasion of ‘Tracey Emin / Edvard Munch: The Loneliness of the Soul’ at the new MUNCH museum in Oslo, Emin speaks to art critic and curator #davidrimanelli about the influence of Munch on her career and the ideas behind this exhibition.

After opening to critical acclaim at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in Spring 2020, Emin’s first major Nordic exhibition reflects on how Munch has shaped her work over several decades.

Four-years in the making, this original, extended presentation features some of Emin’s most iconic works, including the seminal My Bed (1998) and Insomnia (2019), installed alongside oils and watercolours carefully selected by the artist from MUNCH’s rich collection. Both unflinching examiners of the human condition, the dialogue between the two artists presents a moving exploration of love, grief, loss and isolation.
