Exhibition: Oltre Terra – Why Wool Matters in Oslo, Norway

Published on by Feltmakers Ireland

The Nasjonalmuseet has an exhibition that should be of interest to many feltmakers!

In “Oltre Terra. Why Wool Matters”, the multidisciplinary design studio Formafantasma investigates the history, ecology and global dynamics of the extraction and production of wool.

“Oltre Terra. Why Wool Matters” brings together various items relating to sheep farming and the wool industry: paintings, textiles, photographs and videos. A 1,700-year-old tunic, goat masks, and a commissioned video work by artist Joanna Piotrowska are just some of the objects on display. At the centre of the exhibition, visitors are invited to relax on a large carpet made of a type of wool that would normally be discarded by the wool industry. There is also plenty of research material that lets you delve deeper into the exhibition’s topics.

If you are unable to get to Norway, you can explore the exhibition in 3D – https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=4H2AHHF16o5

Additionally, there are five short audio recordings about sheep and wool that you can listen to – https://www.nasjonalmuseet.no/en/guide/oltreterra/

The exhibition runs through the 1st of October.
