Tori Wrånes, alongside Klara Kristalova and Benjamin Orlow, will represent the Nordic Pavilion at the the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. Curated by Kiasma’s Chief Curator, Anna Mustonen, the exhibition invites visitors to journey through a dynamic interplay of imagination and reality, blending Nordic cultural heritage with broader global contexts. Together, the three artists will explore themes of transformation, resilience, and vulnerability, while engaging with contemporary issues such as identity, cultural survival, and gender equality.
Tori Wrånes (b. 1978, Kristiansand, Norway; lives and works in Oslo, Norway) is a transdisciplinary artist and vocalist who fuses music, performance and sculpture to construct alternate realities. Her immersive, often otherworldly environments challenge perception and redefine traditional performance spaces, creating new rituals and dreamlike constellations. Her recent exhibitions include Helsinki Art Museum (2024) and Gothenberg Museum of Art (2019). In 2025 Wrånes will be the artist for Bergen Kunsthall’s Festival Exhibition.
