🎧 “What if, instead of studying history, we start to produce it?”

In the audio guide for “House of Nisaba: New Stories of Painting”, many of the artists speak about their works in their own words. Some recordings were made in studios, others on mobile phones, carrying traces of different places, voices and ways of thinking.

Here, Mikołaj Sobczak reflects on q***r histories, friendship, mythology and resistance through his painting ”Parole, Parole, Parole”.

🎨 Tomorrow we open “House of Nisaba” at Moderna Museet.

Across the museum, paintings, architectures and imagined worlds are taking shape. Twenty-nine international artists come together in an exhibition where mythology, storytelling, digital culture and contemporary painting collide.

Many of the works have been created especially for this exhibition.

“House of Nisaba” explores what painting can be today, in a time shaped by endless feeds, fractured narratives and shifting realities.

Tomorrow, you can also meet several of the participating artists during a live conversation marathon at the museum. Free admission, drop in throughout the day. The programme will also be livestreamed on our Facebook and YouTube channels.

Most people miss this.

Behind one of the works, there’s a hidden world of motors, lights and moving paper figures. A kind of mechanical shadow theatre, quietly running just out of sight.

It started with a simple moment. Car headlights passing through a studio, turning hanging paper into something that moved like film.

Take a closer look next time you visit.
