The Other Side of the Mountain
”Until the lion has their historian, the hunter will always be a hero.” – African proverb
11 artists, nearly 60 works and three new commissions.
The Other side of the Mountain brings together contemporary artists working across the African continent and within the Afro-Nordic diaspora. They explore how cities and modern landscapes shape our connections to one another and to the places we inhabit, creating distance or bringing us closer together.
Sigurd Frosterus Collection
The Sigurd Frosterus collection of early modern art is on display in the Frosterus Hall at Amos Rex.
Featuring some of the Sigurd Frosterus Foundation Collection’s most important works from the early twentieth century, the presentation brings out the vibrancy and colour intensity of the paintings.
Two painters who stand out in particular are Magnus Enckell and Alfred William Finch, both represented by more than ten works. Other featured artists include Sigrid Schauman, Paul Signac, Henry Edmond Cross, Théo van Rysselberghe, and Louis Valtat.
