The nocturnal landscape paintings are hung at a height corresponding to the height of the moon over the horizon in each painting.

In his exhibition Collection at Trondheim kunstmuseum in 2015, Martin Tebus arranged the museum’s collection according to 18 different themes. Some themes mimicked a conceptual, abstract approach - Food in Context and Interiors and How to Use Them - some grouped artworks based on details or elements in them - Full Moon in Motion and The Year of the Horse - others created a kind of staged interiors using artworks - Street Life and Open Studio - and yet others showed the number and diversity of large categories in our collection such as figure painting and sculpture and portraiture - Looks and Postures - and Landscapes - Hiking and The River.

Characteristics of Martin Tebus’s approach are a perceptive eye for content and visual elements, and a playful irreverence in staging new uses, categories and scenarios for the artworks. For this exhibition Martin Tebus has reinterpreted the themes Interiors and How to Use Them, Full Moon in Motion, Open Studio and Looks and Postures.

Learning from the artist

With the new presentation, the museum wants to make use of the knowledge that artists bring with when meeting our collection. Thus, new paths in art history shall be created — a multi-perspective, dynamic, and multi-voiced narrative of art histories. In other words: The museum learns from the artists.
