Blikk (artwork)

Blikk is the first multimodal artwork in Norway Irma Jæger's sculpture was the visual focus of the work. Five large metal frames formed cubes that move around a central hub. Transparent sheets with colourful geometric patterns were slotted into the frames, and lights shone through them causing colourful shadows to be cast on the ceiling and walls as the cubes move. It was published in 1966 as Blikket, displaying various combinations of the words across 32 pages: == Exhibitions in 1990 and 2005-2007 ==

The 1969 exhibition was almost forgotten, but in 1990 a simplified version toured the Nordic countries as part of an exhibition of 1960s Nordic art. A version of this was also exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Oslo in 2005–2007. == Permanent installation (2022) ==

The installation was recreated by composer and curator for the reopening of the National Museum of Norway in 2022, and is now a permanent part of the museum's collection. A reviewer for Morgenbladet noted that it was one of very few kinetic art works in the museum, and that it was a complex installation for its time that reaches many of our senses simultaneously. ==References==
