Eliyah Mesayer

Press release

Eliyah Mesayer’s work balances on the threshold between reality and fiction. Across installation, performance and poetry, and with conceptual and scenographic approaches, Mesayer materializes the personal and the mythical in dreamy and utopian manifestations. Mesayer has previously exhibited at Den Frie as part of Den Frie Morgen (2020) and Bad Timing – Or How to Write History without Objects (2023). The exhibition in OSLO thus continues Den Frie’s curatorial ambition of recurring collaborations with artists.

The exhibition space OSLO:
OSLO is Den Frie’s lower-floor exhibition space dedicated to solo projects. At OSLO, we produce and present new works by artists of different nationalities, generations, and media, made specifically for Den Frie and with a focus on social and political urgency, aiming at making sense of the world today. Den Frie was founded by artists with an experimental vision and collective spirit. OSLO continues this legacy by supporting innovative artistic practices in the present.The name OSLO is a reference to Den Frie’s location at Oslo Plads and an anagram for solo.
