In proud collaboration with Coast Contemporary, we are pleased to announce Anette Gellein as the winner of the Coast Contemporary Prize 2025!

Anette Gellein, based in Stavanger, is an exceptionally talented and multifaceted artist who we believe has great international potential and we therefore want to highlight her practice during this year’s edition of Coast Contemporary in the hope that Gellein will have new collaborations and exhibitions in the future, both in Norway and internationally. Gellein works with performance, film, drawing, sound, painting and textiles and addresses current and important issues in their art such as power, gender, politics and emotions in their own unique way.

Interview with Gellein can be read in CAS Contemporary Art Stavanger.

We look forward to presenting Anette Gellein at Velferden in September, 2025. Gellein is also the winner of the Stavanger City Art Prize and has an upcoming exhibition at Kunsthall Stavanger in 2026.
