Kim Andreas Roland Berger (b. 1993, Oslo, Norway) lives and works in Oslo:

"I work with series of paintings and wooden sculptures. My process begins with drawing in the early morning, before the mind has fully awakened. The compositions are rooted in the architecture and natural surroundings of my family farm, art historical references, and a contrast between geometric surfaces and flowing organic forms. The works reference fragmented pictorial spaces, with stacks of paintings reflecting the way artworks accumulate over time along the walls of my studio."

Previous education includes: Einar Granum School of Fine Art (2017–2019) Bachelor of Fine Art, Oslo National Academy of the Arts (2020–2023) and the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, Budapest (Exchange program, 2024).

Elise Dypvik is a contemporary artist based in Oslo, currently completing her MFA at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. Working primarily with multimedia installations that blend sculpture, sound, video, and performance, she explores the tension between digital and physical realities. Her practice investigates the psychological effects of modern life, focusing on how memory, emotion, and human biology interact with a rapidly evolving technological world. Influenced by science fiction, video games, and natural landscapes, Dypvik constructs speculative scenarios and imagined futures that reflect on existential questions and the feeling of alienation in contemporary society.

Through sculpture, installation, and performance, Signe Greve explores the dynamics between anxiety, nature, and human vulnerability. She approaches these themes through the concept of hosting, using it as a metaphor to examine the relationship between order and chaos, trust and control.

Greve is fascinated by hosting as both a physical and psychological space for comfort, and as an image of the tension between security and insecurity. She explores this ambivalence through material research and positioning. In her practice, Greve works mostly with organic and self-developed materials, as this is important both sustainably and conceptually for her work.

Lova Hiselius (b. 1997, Stockholm) is a visual artist based in Oslo. She works interdisciplinarily with painting and installation.

By creating works that blur the line between imagination and reality, she investigates how emotions such as fear and longing can manifest in physical form. In recent years, she has participated in exhibitions at Liljevalchs (Stockholm), Billedkunstnerne i Oslo, Oslo Kunstforening and Podium. Hiselius was one of the participants in the OsloCity#12 summer residency at Podium, and her MFA graduation project was exhibited at Centralbanken.

David Tobias Bonde Jensen (b. 1988) is a Danish artist living and working in Norway. Jensen’s work explores speculative, spectral and more-than human bodies—bodies migrating between fiction, reality and different scientific paradigms, caught between different narratives. By playing with the performative possibilities and poetic potentialities of animated media, special effects, sound design and song, Jensen attempts to give these sometimes silenced and misconceived bodies a presence, a voice and a space where they can tell their stories, whether they are animal, alien, dead or something in-between.

George Seamus McGoldrick (b. 1995, London) currently lives and works between Oslo and Kent, United Kingdom.

David Noro (b. 1993, DK/ITA) is a visual artist based in Oslo and Copenhagen. He studied Fine Arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam (2014–2018) and is currently pursuing an MFA in Fine Arts at Oslo National Academy of the Arts (2023–2025).

Primarily a painter, Noro also works across collage, drawing, textiles, and sculpture. His practice is rooted in a personal archive of words, texts, songs, and conversations, through which he filters fragments of the everyday. These fragments are translated into layered compositions where narrative traces flicker in and out of focus, shaped by mark-making and material exploration.

Central to his painting is the gaze—the one that looks, and the one being looked at. Noro's works hold a quiet tension between presence and distance, where images unfold with a momentary, relational sensibility. Motifs arise intuitively, shifting between the poetic and the prosaic, without settling into fixed meaning.

May-Oisín Qviller (b. 1995) is primarily a filmmaker, while also working with sound, music, photography and writing. His work explores the way we perceive and understand the world, especially those of us who aren't able to find a spoken or written language to clearly communicate to others how we feel and why. With this interest, the extreme sides of human behaviour are often explored, like trauma, violence and hatred. However, most of his works try their best to appear as songs, to create a language that appears accessible, child-like and curious.

Klara Rosenlund (b. 1991) is a Swedish artist based in Norway, holding a BFA from the Art Academy in Bergen and an upcoming MFA from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts in 2025.

Taylor Alaina Liebenstein Smith (b. 1993) is an American, French-naturalized visual artist. She understands the climate crisis as a crisis of perception, and thus capacity for affect. With this in mind, she attempts to cultivate attunement and emotional sensitivity to seemingly dead or distant geobiological entities like permafrost or biofilms. To do this, she collaborates with scientists, poets, dancers, architects and other species, deconstructing perceived boundaries between scientific and artistic knowledge. Materially, her practice explores the poetic intersections between analog and biological media, blending bioart with film and video, installation, performance, sound, photography, printmaking and text. She holds an MA in Cultural Mediation from the École du Louvre and a BFA in Painting and BA in Art History from Boston University. Her work has been exhibited in France, Norway, Finland, Germany, Spain, and the U.S. A member of the Finnish Bioart Society, her works are also included in French National Collections.

Sanna Sønstebø (b. 1999) creates instruction and conceptual frameworks that develops into text, video, and performance.

She participated in exhibitions at the Akademirommet at Kunstnernes Hus is 2024, at Assembly House in Leeds, UK with the art collective We Didn’t Fancy in 2023, as well as the residency #23 Understanding Intelligence at Praksis in Oslo in 2022.

Isak Ree Torgersen (b. 1994, Oslo) is a multimedia artist working within the intersection of ambition and desperation.
