Kode Bergen Art Museum in Norway will present "They Live," the most comprehensive exhibition of artist Vibeke Tandberg to date, running from May 22 to September 12, 2026. The show spans over three decades of Tandberg's practice, featuring well-known works alongside new pieces, and includes photography, film, video, sculpture, text works, and ephemera displayed throughout the museum's Stenersen building. A sculptural installation, *Hestebarrikaden* (2023), will be placed at the main entrance.
The exhibition marks a homecoming for Tandberg, who studied photography at the Art Academy in Bergen in the early 1990s and is regarded as a pioneer of digital photography and postmodern conceptual photography. As a key figure in the Nordic wave of 1990s artists, Tandberg's work has profoundly influenced Norwegian and international art history. "They Live" underscores the enduring relevance of her explorations of media, gender, identity, and power for new generations, while showcasing her restless experimentation across multiple media.
