Guttormsgaards arkiv
Guttormsgaards arkiv is an independent art institution built around the unique collection of the artist Guttorm Guttormsgaard (1938-2019) and the distinctive dissemination project he developed based on the collection.
It is located in Blaker Old Dairy, on the east bank of the river Glomma in Lillestrøm municipality, Norway.
The archive's exhibition programme reflects a particular interest in alternative storytelling, artistic publishing and experimental communication. When Guttorm Guttormsgaard wished for "a more generous and spacious art history", it was both about what the concept of art should include and about how art could be communicated in the most vibrant way possible to a diverse audience.
The archive is also a workshop and a place of learning, and in recent years has collaborated with the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO), the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO), the guest stay organiser PRAKSIS, Lillestrøm municipality's summer school and Sørumsand upper secondary school. The archive's graphics workshop is run by master artists Cathrine Alice Liberg, Erika Reed and Suzannah Rehell Øistad. (2024)
