About this audio guide
This guide to Kunstnernes Hus, the Artists' House in Oslo, follows a team of architecture students who spent twenty twenty-five treating a nineteen-thirty gallery like an archaeological dig. It touches paint, floors, skylights and a painted ceiling above the stairs, and the gap between the legends staff repeated and what the building itself records. Best heard on the pavement facing the brick facade on Wergelandsveien.
