The Saga Night sculpture given as a gift to Maihaugen open-air museum
Saga Night is a gift from the artist Marianne Heier to Maihaugen open-air museum of cultural heritage. The asphalt sculpture Saga Night is about a watershed shift: a radical change that occurred in plain view, but nevertheless seems to represent a blind spot in Norwegian culture and self-perception. Unveiling and Presentation Ceremony took place on Maihaugen May 25, 2008.
Saga Night is a continuation of the solo show Pioneer held at "ROM for kunst og arkitektur" in Oslo in November of 2007. This project is an independent work that is part of Per Gunnar Eeg-Tverbakk’s fellowship project called 'Space for Interference' funded by the National Norwegian Artistic Research Fellowships Programme.
