Entang Wiharso in Upcoming Show at Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg


Entang Wiharso will be among the artists featured in Kuntsmuseum Wolfsburg’s upcoming show, Oil: Beauty and Horror in the Petrol Age. 

“The exhibition Oil. Beauty and Horror in the Petrol Age therefore takes a speculative, poetic look back at the presence of the modern age of petroleum, which has lasted for roughly one hundred years. From the distance of a hypothetical future, we ask what was typical of our time, what was great and beautiful, what was ugly and terrible, and how all this is reflected in art and culture.”

More information on the museum’s website.

The exhibition opens September 4, 2021, and is on view until January 9, 2022.
