Skog Art Space SKOG is a vibrant and unconventional art space in Oslo's East End with a crush on material-based art. SKOG will have exhibitions regularly.

SKOG art space is not a gallery, not a studio, not a collection, but something unique in between. SKOG means FOREST in Norwegian. SKOG wants to give you unique experiences. At SKOG everyone is welcome to buy their favourite object on the spot. SKOG takes you into a forest of new experiences, objects and art. At SKOG, no work is too old, too young or unimportant. As in the forest, you will discover objects we have brought with us on our way back home. Objects that are beautiful, curious, eternal or perishable - just like nature. At SKOG you will discover the undiscovered: Established and new artists, young and old, used and new objects. We promise to exhibit collections of innovative artists, traditional creators and to give you experiences to bring with you into the future.

Yellow Press by Tamara Marbl Joka, currently on view at SKOG.

The term “yellow press”, meaning sensationalist journalism, emerged in the late 19th century. Newspapers began competing for readers with large headlines, dramatic stories and often uncritical use of sources. At the same time, technological changes in the printing industry made newspaper production cheaper and faster.
An important link to aluminium lies in printing technology. Aluminium came to be widely used for printing plates, especially in offset printing, because the metal is light, durable and suited to fast mass production. This made it possible to print large runs of newspapers quickly and at lower cost.

As newspapers became cheaper and easier to produce, competition for readers grew. This contributed indirectly to the rise of the yellow press, as some newspapers chose more sensational and eye-catching stories to sell more copies. In this way, technological development in aluminium and the development of sensationalist journalism are bound together.

Although the emerged in the late 19th century, many of the same mechanisms remain clearly visible in today’s media landscape.

Laurensius Celvi a**s Petri by Oscar Eriksson Furunes on view until 7th November.

There is something valuable when looking into the past, the instant that just vanished or a period very far away, and how we tie it to the present. The stones before you are originals from Nidaros Cathedral (constructed between 1070–1300 and restored several times afterward). In 2019, artist Oscar Eriksson Furunes acquired the first of these stones while studying at the Malmö Art Academy. Working with historically charged artifacts will become a constant in his methodology, whether they come from more recent times, like perfume lamps from the 1920s as part of the work Night Watch, or from the medieval era, like these stones. As he says himself, “he reinterprets historical materials into installations in which he incorporates personal references, gestures, and codes [...].”[1] In the case of these stones, Furunes’s personal link with the cathedral coexists (he was baptized there) with this building’s historical weight in Norwegian heritage.

The starting point of this series is a Latin inscription present in the walls of the cathedral. Carved in the stone, the phrase reads “Laurensius Celvi a**s Petri.” Archaeologists date the inscription to the late 13th century. The phrase can be translated as “Lars is Peter’s arse.” So, who were these men? The first name, Lars, refers to Laurentius Kálfsson (1267–1331), an Icelandic bishop of the diocese of Hólar.

Currently exhibition “Fractal Moments” by Aron Irving Li.

In the exhibition Fractal Moments, Aron Irving Li explores fractal principles and repeating form. Through systematic processes, he constructs metal objects that reference the plant world.

A fractal is a geometric form whose structure reproduces itself at different scales. A single element, observed on its own, looks like the original figure as a whole. Many phenomena in nature have fractal traits, such as the geometric structure of a tree, or the blood vessels and nerve pathways of the human body.

Li approaches the fractal through hands-on investigation. He explores how form can be built from many small individual elements, and how repetition as a method gives rise to dynamic expression. Made in brass and copper, the objects appear as complex, fragile structures with a pronounced organic character. Li solders together hundreds of wire-based elements. This creates a kind of growth process within the construction itself, as each object is gradually built up piece by piece. The process allows the objects to be extended and developed continuously over time.

Some works balance at the very limit of the material’s stability, so that the slightest movement travels through the work like a tremor. That movement gives a sense of something living, fragile and transient. Recurring in several works is the simple principle of branching. It is a form found in many natural structures, and for Li it refers to nature’s life force and cycles.

Last weekend of RYESTACK a dúo exhibition w. Sisse Lee and Martin B. Kaldahl.

Martin Kaldahl’s work, form is fundamentally sculptural, materially driven, and precisely articulated. It may initially appear expressive, shaped by the impressions of the hand and the transformations of the ceramic process, but is in fact built through conceptual constraints and self-organising procedures rather than personal expression. The works in this exhibition are made through building, stacking and displacing, as individual elements are assembled into sculptural, sequential structures. Glaze unifies the surface as an integral part of the construction, while pressure marks, joints and irregularities remain visible.

SKOG X Vasli Souza join forces to present Between us during Oslo Negativ, a duo exhibition featuring Tokyo-based artist Pixy Liao and Taiwanese artist Liu Hsing-Yu.
Through humor and unexpected perspectives, the artists examine the intimate and the personal, exploring the dynamics that draw us toward one another as well as the tensions, ambiguities, and encounters that unsettle and challenge us.
