Postcards from the Future is the inaugural exhibition of PoMo, Trondheim’s new
museum for modern and contemporary art. Opened in the city’s historic former
post office, the exhibition marks the first presentation of PoMo’s newly established
permanent collection, accompanied by prominent loans from national and international
museums and private collections.
Inspired by the postcard’s diverse views of the world, the exhibition unfolds
through a series of dedicated and thematic artist presentations. Each explores key
themes of our times, such as community, identity, material culture, historiography
and global interconnections. The catalogue is richly illustrated and features texts on
the 24 artists in the exhibition, complemented by new commissioned short stories
by renowned contemporary authors Calla Henkel, Christina Hesselholdt, Erlend Loe
and Zeshan Shakar, inspired by the themes and artworks in the exhibition.
