What is Needed in the Corners
Solo exhibition, ROM61, Bergen, August 2023
What is Needed in the Corners by Runa Halleraker presents a site-specific installation of paint and textile, as well as other painterly works, exploring perspectives of needs, of the artist and the artwork, and blurring the distinction between what is often considered real and imaginary spaces.
