Galleri Rom

I'm bringing this here because my good faith efforts are not really producing any information that explains the importance of this gallery. The article creator says it plays an important role in Norwegian culture, but I can't verify that with reliable sources. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 16:51, 28 May 2009 (UTC) - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 16:51, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. At first I balked at the suggestion that notability was implied by the article Kjetil Trædal Thorsen, but the source that discusses Galleri Rom in that article does not indicate its notability as I had hoped. My Google search likewise seems to only bring up sources which indicate art which is exhibited there, and do not seem to discuss the gallery at all. The Estonian-language article does not have any more sources, and searches on Norwegian Wikipedias (Nynorsk and Bokmål) yielded nothing. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 17:06, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I find some sources but I don't read Norwegian. Going to see if I can find a Norwegian speaker to help decipher whether these establish notability StarM 00:14, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I do read Norwegian. Aftenposten is a large, staid and serious newspaper; "Galleri%20Rom" here's search result for Galleri Rom in that paper. Oops, you have to write "Galleri Rom" in quotes in the search box there.

Here is an article in Arkitektnytt, Architect News, about the gallery and its leader, Henrik der Minassian. It says he's been the leader since Galleri ROM and Institutt for Romkunst (The Institute for Room Art) were combined in 2005 to become ROM for Kunst og Arkitektur (ROOM for Art and Architecture). And here is another article in the same magazine, where, clearly, the gallery is still called Galleri Rom, now in 2009.

It appears that the gallery is active with both exhibitions and conferences. - Hordaland (talk) 01:29, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
