Silver Tongue and Gold Teeth

25. September – 25. Oktober 2025

​

The exhibition Silver Tongue and Gold Teeth presents new works by Norwegian artist Marius Moldvær (b.1985, Aurland), whose practice spans textile, photography, sculpture, and text. Moldvær’s work often repositions familiar themes—such as belief systems, cultural symbols, and notions of body and landscape—into unexpected forms and contexts. Through thisprocess, alternative narrative structures emerge, inviting viewers to question how stories aretold, understood, and embodied.

 

In Silver Tongue and Gold Teeth, Moldvær continues his exploration of subjectivestorytelling through spatial installations, text works, and textile-based wall pieces. His practice often merges traditional handicraft with contemporary concerns, whether throughlarge-scale embroidery that echoes religious iconography, or through textile and photographic assemblages that disrupt cultural and gendered stereotypes.
