A HOME FOR A COLLECTION
For 20 years, Nicolai Tangen has collected 20th century art.
His collection, which comprises more than 1,300 works,
is the largest, most comprehensive and important private
collection of Norwegian art from the 1930s to the 1970s.
The museum site will house both The Tangen Collection
and the existing art museum in Kristiansand, Sørlandets
Kunstmuseum, in a new cultural quarter at a prime
waterfront location next to the Kilden performing arts
centre. The size of the new museum will provide a unique
opportunity to combine a range of permanent and
temporary exhibitions.
Nicolai Tangen is now giving the collection to Kristiansand,
his hometown in Norway. Since the gift was made public
in May 2015, plans and ideas for a new art museum in
Kristiansand have moved forward at a fast pace.

From GRAIN SILO
to ART MUSEUM
The ambition is to create one of the leading Nordic art museums with an architectural quality
to match its status. The city of Kristiansand has proposed converting a landmark building – a
grain silo – into the new museum. The location of the silo, at Odderøya, is a major area for
urban development in Kristiansand, and it will bring together the museum, a cultural school,
a drama centre for young people, and Kilden, which is the city’s performing arts centre.

ARCHITECTURAL
COMPETITION
To this end, architects were invited to participate in a two-stage planning-and-design
competition which has been both open and international. The first stage concluded in June
2016. The aim of stage 1 was to identify options for using all or part of the silo as a museum
building, and to illustrate the development potential of the entire area. Stage 2, a restricted
competition which will end in December 2016, focuses on further developing and refining
the design of the museum building and its features and functions.
At the end of stage 1, the jury chose six finalists. They are presented on the following pages
with the jury’s comments. Along with all the other submissions, the six finalists are presented
in greater depth on www.kunstsilo.no.

SILO COLLECTION
‘Silo Collection’ has created a simple and successful hierarchy
of good public spaces in-between ‘Kilden’ and ‘Kanalbyen’. The
concept is straightforward and appealing. In a subdued and
elegant way, the magnificent potential and geometry of the
silo is further developed. The exhibition rooms are organized
and shaped with a convincing alternation between rectangular,
neutral exhibition areas in a new extension, and powerful, large
halls inside the existing silo. The proposal’s top floor must, in the
jury’s opinion, be revised in the next phase.
ART SILO X
The jury is excited about the unique iconic potential of one
unified approach – ‘The Glass Shard’– and the celebration of
the sculptural expression found in the interior and the cityscape.
Great respect is shown for industrial history as a creator of
identity and as pure form, but also for materiality and museal
experience. This respect is combined with novel dramatics
revealed in the way in which the building is entered, the sky
lobby and the rooftop terrace. The silo form itself seriously limits
the overall museum-exhibition potential, and this is a challenge
to be overcome in phase 2. The Canal Plaza (Kanaltorget) may
work well and should be retained but developed further in the
next phase.

DREAM
The ‘Dream’ proposal is distinguished by particularly good
exhibition rooms. In an iconographic way, the project allows the
original 1935 silo to come to expression, so also a pair of rooms
from 1939. It establishes an attractive plaza in the southern part
facing ‘Kanalbyen’ and the canal. Its particular challenges are a
proposed straightening of the Sjølystveien thoroughfare, as well
as a hotel tower at the rear, which appears overly massive when
backgrounded by Odderøya.
CULTURAL AXIS
‘Cultural Axis’ establishes a clear distinction between the original
1935 silo and the 1938 extension. Four new buildings are
linked via overhangs and bridges. The spaces for art exhibitions
are distributed in sequences, such that visitors alternately find
themselves in exhibition rooms and on bridges overlooking the
surroundings: ‘Kilden’, ‘Kanalbyen’, Odderøya and the fjord.
The proposal aims to activate an internal thoroughfare but does
so at the expense of the surrounding streets and urban spaces.
Developing attractive and well-functioning urban spaces and
places must be given considerable weight in the next phase.
7
THE CLEARING
The project represents a distinctively new formal language that is
inspired and mirrored by the silo’s shapes. Herein lies a potential
which can be processed and transformed into a complete project.
The exhibition rooms need revising, and the project requires
a powerful overhaul as regards public circulation. As in other
projects, the top floor acts as an icon for the building.
CULTURE-INDUSTRIAL
COMPLEX
The jury sympathises with the project’s tight and controlled
framework for a new regularized urban structure – a new
porous ‘culture machine’ on the waterfront. The project comes
across as sensitive to the context, both in scaling and text, but
also self-referential and cool in expression. The plaza has good
qualities in terms of its dimensions, access to sunlight and
openness towards the canal; the patterns of movement interface
well with ‘Kanalbyen’. The project has taken into account the
silo’s limitations as an exhibition venue by creating an adjacent
square museum tower which, with its balanced masses, has
more flexibility to meet exhibition needs. Circulation patterns
throughout the museum facilitate very good experiences, with
places for pausing, panoramic views, and the strong presence of
the silo. Developing attractive and well-functioning urban spaces
and places must be given considerable weight in the next phase.

THE TANGEN COLLECTION
The Tangen Collection is the most important privately
owned collection of Norwegian art from the 1930s to the
1970s. It contains more than 1,300 works by key artists
from this period, including Gunnar S. Gundersen, Reidar
Aulie, Johs. Rian, Henrik Finne, Rolf Nesch, Anna-Eva
Bergman, Ludvig Eikaas, Ryszard Warsinski and Per
Kleiva. As well as paintings, the collection includes a large
number of important Norwegian graphic works. It also
contains sculptures by some of the most acclaimed artists
from the period such as Aase Texmon Rygh and Arnold
Haukeland. Over the last 10 years, Nicolai Tangen has
expanded the collection in both scope and period, collecting
art and craft from Denmark and Sweden as well as art
from the 1980s and 1990s. The collection is continuously
expanding and the goal is to make it into the largest of its
kind in the Nordic region.

SØRLANDETS
KUNSTMUSEUM
Sørlandets Kunstmuseum is the regional art museum
for the Agder counties. It conducts a wide range of artrelated activities, including administering, developing
and doing research on its own collection of art and
crafts, as well as facilitating the public’s experience and
engagement with art. Sørlandets Kunstmuseum promotes
Norwegian and international contemporary art, crafts
and art history through in-house exhibitions, touring
exhibitions, events, activities, lectures, workshops and
teaching projects.
Sørlandets Kunstmuseum is a foundation, created in
1995 by Kristiansand municipality, Vest-Agder and
Aust-Agder counties and Christianssands Billedgalleri.
It is currently located in the old cathedral school in the
centre of Kristiansand.
The museum’s collection comprises 1,500 works of art
and craft, consisting of works from Christianssands
Billedgalleri and art purchased by the museum since
1995.
