Did you know the spray can was invented in Oslo?
In 1926, engineer Erik Rotheim created what was to become the very first patent on aerosol technology, on which today's modern spray cans are based. Oslo, Home of the Spray Can is an exhibition of historical objects, archival documentation and curated artworks that celebrates Rotheim’s invention and the art movements to which it gave birth – graffiti and street art.
In addition to items from The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology, the Norwegian Patent Office and private collections, we've invited selected artists to produce their own bespoke 'Quick'-brand label in homage to the iconic spray can, synonymous with graffiti in Norway in the 80’s and 90’s.
Participating artists include Big Ben, Dato, Dirty Des, Goal, Heia, Jame, Juan, Luna, Mast, Merk, Moves, Mucho, Nams, Pay2, Poker, Remio, Rens, Res, Rusa, Sling, Snork One, Spino5, Swet, Weis, Wers and more.
