Meet our young gallery assistants, Eyla and Livia, both 16 years old. They will each be looking after the exhibitions one day a week, as well as helping with sorting and sales at our bookshop, Elephanten.

Thanks to Bergen Municipality’s new support scheme, Cultural Jobs for Youth, we were lucky to welcome two wonderful young people to our team.

We are proud to unveil Gråspurv (House Sparrow), a collaborative work by Kiyoshi Yamamoto and Kari Aasen, on display in the beautiful surroundings of the Parterre Garden at Tivoli, alongside ten other sculptures by distinguished artists from across Northern Europe.

Kiyoshi Yamamoto is a Japanese-Brazilian artist based in Bergen. He works across textiles, performance, and installation, and his practice explores identity, hybridity, and materiality through colour-driven, immersive expressions. 

Kari Aasen is a Norwegian ceramicist and visual artist based in Bergen. Over several decades, Aasen has developed an extensive artistic practice spanning ceramics, sculpture, and installation, and is regarded as a significant voice within Norwegian contemporary art and craft.

Lin Zhipeng (No.223) (CN)
Lin Zhipeng (No.223) is a pivotal figure among the generation of Chinese artists who emerged internationally in the early 2000s. His diaristic yet carefully composed photographs trace the emotional texture of youth in contemporary China, where tradition and rapid social change coexist in tension. Oscillating between tenderness and detachment, intimacy and estrangement, his images reveal the desires and uncertainties of a generation seeking freedom. Balancing improvisation with deliberate staging, Lin transforms everyday bodies, objects, and interiors into charged, lyrical studies of presence and vulnerability.

Lin Zhipeng (a.k.a No.223, b.1979, China), photographer based in Beijing. No.223‘s works in Museum collection: La MEP (Paris, France), The Walther Collection (Ulm, Germany), Musée de la Photographie, (Charleroi, Belgium), Spencer Museum of Art (KS，USA), White Rabbit Museum (Sydney, Australia), Franciscans Museum (Deauville, France).

Jinbin Chen (CN)
Chen describes his practice as encounters between bodies, images, histories, narratives, and moments that may seem fleeting yet hold the potential to transform intimacy, becoming, and belonging. Desire, gender temperament, power hierarchy, and the politics of intimacy remain central to his work, rooted in lived experience yet expanded into collective imaginaries. Painting has been the core of his practice in recent years. His portraits often depict friends, imagined figures, or fragmented bodies in states of openness, vulnerability, or anonymity. Through these figures, Chen constructs an erotic language that is sensuous without being explicit.
Jinbin Chen (b.1994, China) lives in Oslo. MFA Oslo National Academy of the Arts. BFA Royal Academy of Art, The Hague. Work held in the collections of Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, Denver Art Museum, Denver, Dallas Museum of Art, Texas, White Rabbit Gallery, Sydney National Museum Norway, Oslo etc.

Japanese-Brazilian-Norwegian textile artist Kiyoshi Yamamoto and Norwegian ceramic artist Kari Aasen embarked on a joint adventure in this cross-generational, cross-disciplinary project, CONVERSATIONS (IF I WERE YOU). As the title suggests, through constant dialogue and mutual inspiration, the two artists bring together different materials, colour schemes, form languages and artistic energies to create unexpected new works.

One of these works, Gråspurv (House Sparrow), will be featured in this year’s CHART x Tivoli exhibition. On this occasion, a selection of works from the project will also be on view and available at the main venue of CHART Art Fair.
