American artist Carol Bove (b. 1971) has made a monumental, site-specific work for Kistefos that was unveiled at the museum's season opening on 23rd May. The work is made from steel, the artists favoured material of recent years, and is indicative of her signature form and style.

The sculpture at Kistefos is made of steel from a cargo ship that sank off Fedje in 2007. MS Server was on its way to Murmansk when it blew up into a storm. Eight meter high waves meant that the crew had to be evacuated by helicopter and the ship eventually sank to the bottom of the seabed in two parts. The rear part of the ship, consisting of 1500 tons of steel, was raised in 2018. The steel in Bove's sculpture came from this part of the ship. Despite the hard, heavy materials she uses, the finished works have a lightness in them, which makes them feel soft, light and compliant.

The energy and shape of the sculpture easily give associations to the surrounding natural landscape, especially the water and the waterfall's fierce power/energy.

This sculpture, with the fitting title I’m Alive, at first glance looks like a powerful creature meandering forward.
-
21 Tony Cragg, Bent of mind
Bent of Mind looks as though it is constantly growing and changing. The two profiles, which make up the sculpture’s main motive, constantly change character as you move around the sculpture to see them from different angles.

The installation, with its location in the midst of nature, can be seen as a commentary on man's relationship with nature.
-
38 Tony Cragg, Castor & Pollux
With Castor & Pollux, Cragg takes a new and radical step in the development of the Rational Beings series. Raw muscle power and animal energy are just some of the things you experience in the encounter with this monumental work.
-
39 Lynda Benglis, Face Off
Benglis visited Kistefos and became inspired by the landscape and atmosphere of the site, Scandinavian mythology, and folklore. The sculpture can be seen as partly frozen waterfall, partly giant.

47 Magne Furuholmen, The Birthright
Text and letters have always been central as a pictorial element in Furuholmen's work. What happens if you deconstruct sentences, break them down into single words or put them together in new combinations?

51 The Twist Gallery
The Twist is a gallery, a bridge, and a sculpture, all in one. The 1000 square meter building twists into a sculptural form and spans 60 meters across the Randselva river. The building was designed by the Danish star architects BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group and is named as a "must-see" cultural destination by the New York Times, Bloomberg and The Telegraph, among others.
-
52 The wood pulp mill
The production at Kistefos stopped in 1955, but the buildings and machines have been preserved. Several of the machines have been set in motion once again, creating a "living factory" for Kistefos' visitors.
