Information about haze in the exhibition gallery
Haze (a light smoke effect) forms part of the artwork in this gallery. It is an intentional artistic element within the installation and contributes to the work’s visual expression.
Two haze machines are installed in a ramp in the gallery. The haze is released through small openings in the ramp and dispersed throughout the space. It consists of liquid particles (aerosols) suspended in the air, creating a fine mist.
A water-based fluid containing glycols and glycerine is used. This type of fluid is commonly used for such effects. The concentration is low. The average maximum concentration measured over eight hours is 0.30 mg/m³. The Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority’s exposure limit for glycols and glycerine is 8 mg/m³ measured over eight hours.
Air quality is continuously monitored using a particle meter in the exhibition gallery, including outside opening hours. A risk assessment has been carried out for the use of haze, and safety data sheets for the chemicals are available.
Visitors with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions should be aware that haze is used in the gallery.
