Kunstsilo坐落于一座经过精心修复的谷物筒仓之中，见证了人类的创造力与智慧。这座三层建筑提供总计3,300平方米的展览空间，由Mestres Wåge、Mendoza Partida和BAX Studio共同参与修复设计，将由著名建筑师Arne Korsmo与Sverre Aasland于1935年设计的功能主义杰作，成功转变为一座世界级文化地标。

Housed within a meticulously restored grain silo, Kunstsilo stands as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity. Covering three floors and boasting an expansive 3,300 square meters of exhibition space, this heritage preservation project undertaken by Mestres Wage, Mendoza Partida and BAX Studio transforms a functionalist architectural gem designed by the esteemed architects Arne Korsmo and Sverre Aasland in 1935 into a world-class cultural venue.

Kunstsilo不仅仅是一座艺术博物馆，它还是一个面向未来的文化中心，汇聚数字艺术、前沿思想与国际巡展。馆内还设有可俯瞰壮丽海岸线的观景空间，并将承办讲座、音乐会、美食体验、工作坊与各类活动。

Kunstsilo will be more than an art museum; this innovative cultural centre will be a place to interact with digital art, explore new ideas and experience a range of international touring exhibitions. Offering panoramic views of the region’s spectacular coastline, the space will also act as a venue for lectures, concerts, dining experiences, workshops, and events.

Kunstsilo的核心是坦根典藏。这一由克里斯蒂安桑出身、热爱艺术的赞助人Nicolai Tangen创立的藏品，是全球最大规模的北欧艺术私人收藏，涵盖来自丹麦、芬兰、冰岛、挪威与瑞典的300多位艺术家、超过5,500件作品。自1990年代购得第一件艺术品以来，Tangen通过其成立的AKO基金会，不仅收藏了知名艺术家的作品，也关注那些被忽视的北欧艺术家。如今，随着这些作品在Kunstsilo的长期展出与保护，它们将在全球艺术版图上留下深远印记。

At the heart of Kunstsilo lies the Tangen Collection, the world’s largest private collection of Nordic art. Founded by Kristiansand native and devoted art patron Nicolai Tangen, the collection encompasses over 5.500 works by more than 300 artists from Denmark, Finland, lceland, Norway, and Sweden. As art collector and patron Nicolai Tangen established the AKO Foundation and has championed art from the region by both renowned and overlooked artists. Acquiring his first artwork in the 1990s, the collection will leave an enduring mark on the global art landscape through its ongoing presentation and preservation at Kunstsilo.

Kunstsilo的开幕展览《北方的激情》（Passions of the North）（2024年5月11日至2024年秋季）将带领观众沉浸于北欧艺术的多重语境之中。展览灵感来自文学巨匠如托马斯·哈代与弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫等人，探讨社会与社群、机械与有机、乡村与城市之间的张力与对比。在布满柔和色彩与情绪氛围的25个展厅中，展览将展出700余件来自坦根典藏的作品，聚焦20世纪飞速变迁中现代艺术对生活的回应与映照。

Kunstsilo’s inaugural exhibition, ‘Passions of the North’(11 May 2024 - autumn 2024) promises an immersive journey into Nordic art, inspired by conceptual themes drawn from literary giants like Thomas Hardy and Virginia Woolf. The exhibition explores the dynamics between society, community, mechanical and organic aspects, and the contrast between rural and urban life. Unfolding through 25 rooms, each adorned with distinctive moods and pastel colours, the exhibition showcases over 700 - 1990, emphasising a multifaceted perspective Norks from the Tangen Collection on Modern art and its reflection of life in the rapidly changing 20th century.
