Inspired by Ebihara Shoten’s past, the project houses the concept of TRANSLOCAL. Taking place in and around Ebihara Shoten, the members of the TENTHAUS collective and their network, together with the local community, will create a space of interference with individuality and transform current challenges.

The project consists of RRR OFFICE, stands for Research, Record, and Report, a temporary, usable office-like structure; STIM – Kizuna, a site-responsive performance shaped through walking, movement, and embodied research (performers also invited to participate); and activations in the form of workshops and discursive programming.

These elements will stitch together the knowledge and experiences of the collective and the local community. Our aim is to act as an agent for transforming the future while honouring the past traditions of the neighborhood.

Tenthaus Art Collective and the Oven Network

Tenthaus Art Collective is an Oslo-based artist collective that has been working together in various constellations since 2009. Their art practice emphasizes process, focusing on community engagement, collectivity, and inclusivity.

Presentated by Tenthaus, the OVEN Network is a transnational network for artistic exchange. Rooted in collaboration the Oven brings together collectives across Southeast Asia and the Nordics to foster shared learning co-thinking and long-term engagement. We view art and design not as outcomes but as tools for observation friction and transformation.

It takes shape through art projects exhibitions research residencies workshops publications gatherings and moments of exchange adapting to the context around it. We welcome those with a shared curiosity to think collectively hold space for difference and explore new ways of moving forward.
