Every year we will sign on a new artist to do a new logo and exhibition at Holzweiler Platz. The first year's art project is with artist Marianne Hurum. The artist's work includes different media as painting, sculptures, photography, and installations. As a coincidence, we discovered that Marianne Hurum is inspired by waves, in similarity with water being architects Snøhetta's main inspiration for Holzweiler Platz.

"I always liked the idea and phenomenon of visual art in restaurants. And I really like the place of Holzweiler Platz. The inspiration for the artwork for Café Platz is all from the same pot that I stir every day with a humble and mad laugh. I have a changing vocabulary of shapes as a painter and the four shapes are taken from there. The wave is about movement, change, and time, and the hands sculpture springs out of thinking about democracy through the shape of the Oslo City hall. The colours came from thinking about heavy water, crispy green apples, warm bricks and blushy cheeks.
