PROJECT

International Collaboration Project

This is a project that is being developed in collaboration with unique overseas art organizations. Presented by the Norway-based Tenthaus Art Collective, this project will be developed and carried out by The Oven, a collaborative platform that explores new ways of gathering, sharing knowledge, and sustaining collective practice. Based at Ebihara Shoten (a former clothing store) in Kanda, the project will activate the space through a series of public interventions, workshops, and site-responsive actions.

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.
