Norwegian artist Per Kristian Nygård creates an incredible installation at non-profit gallery NoPlace based in Oslo. Entitled “NOT RED BUT GREEN” a hilly, rolling landscape of grassy mounds fills a white walled room, seemingly stretching back forever. Intending to create something that “doesn’t make sense,” Nygård formed the installation the hard way, growing the piece from seed and soil. Changing and growing over the duration of the Summer exhibition, a strictly ‘no climbing’ situation.

‘not red but green’ comprises a natural, undulating terrain, spilling out from the entrance doorframe and pressing up against the surrounding windows and walls. lush vegetation floods in every direction, forming a hilly landscape that beckons an instinctual audience participation, although prohibited. the site-specificity of the installation allows it to grow and develop in size and form, and — by placing the mass of organic matter within the context of an indoor gallery — changes the perception of the natural world for the viewer.
