Rubbings – neither print nor drawing

Most people are familiar with the very concept of rubbing images onto paper, for example, with tracing details of a coin by first covering it with a sheet of paper and then let the pencil run over it. In the exhibition “Neither print – nor drawing: the rubbings of Edvard Munch”, the audience is invited to experiment with the technique of frottage. On this occasion, the Munch Museum launches a competition where we will pick a weekly winner. The “Frottage of the week” will be presented on one of the walls in the last exhibition-hall and on the museum’s website. The winner may choose between a range of exciting prizes from the museum shop. The exhibition goes on until 28 May 2012, and at the end of the exhibition period, three main winners will be chosen.
