Studio – Autumn 2025
Residency recipients
Earlier this year, Atelier Nord announced an Open Call for residencies in our sound and editing studio. The studio is a free resource for professional visual artists working with moving images, sound, or web-based projects. These six artists have been awarded residencies this autumn: Finn Adrian Jorkjen, Anna Näumann, Per Christian Brown, Ingrid Solvik, Kjetil Skøien, and Anne Senstad.
Finn Adrian Jorkjen: 4–17 August
During the first two weeks of August, Finn Adrian Jorkjen will work in the studio with audiovisual elements for a performance commissioned by the National Museum for The Cultural Schoolbag. The performance explores themes of entrepreneurship, information overload, and the rabbit holes artists must go down to become “the best version of themselves.”
Anna Näumann: 18–31 August
In the second half of August, Anna Näumann will prepare a presentation of a workshop project she has led throughout 2025 at Atelier Nord with a group of young participants. The workshop series explored sound and listening—by delving into the history of Olaf Ryes Plass 2. In August, Näumann and the participants will use the studio to deepen their work with the audio material collected during the spring. The presentation will take place on 16 September at Atelier Nord.

Per Christian Brown: 1–28 September
In September, Per Christian Brown will use the studio to work on a large documentary video project about the residents of an apartment building in Berlin. The project will result in nine video works and a photo series, to be exhibited in a solo show at Rogaland Kunstsenter in 2025 and in the group exhibition Forestill deg at du faller at Oslo Kunstforening in 2026.
Ingrid Solvik: 29 September–26 October
Later in the autumn, Ingrid Solvik will work toward a multimedia outdoor installation to be shown in Kabelgata at Økern at the end of November. The work interweaves the site’s past, present, and future and explores various forms of communication—between humans, between animals, and through technologies such as those once produced in the former cable factory. In the studio, Solvik will work on combining video, animation, and soundscapes.
Kjetil Skøien: 27 October–23 November
From late October through most of November, Kjetil Skøien will work on Lost Rooms, a project to be exhibited in a group show at Galleri BO, Oslo, in 2026. The project is based on a performance he created for the Ultima Festival in 1994 with five Bosnian refugees. In the studio, Skøien will edit video, process photographs, and conduct new interviews with the Bosnian participants, all of whom still live in Norway.
Anne Senstad: 24 November–21 December
At the end of the year, Anne Senstad will use the studio to finalize the video work Dirt, part five in the series How We Live Together, which she has developed since 2020 in collaboration with American actor Bill Sage. The series explores alternative systems of living through lyrical monologues and critical social reflection. Dirt will be filmed in New York in the summer of 2025, and Senstad will use the studio at Atelier Nord to edit the film later this autumn. The full series will be presented at the Venice Biennale in 2026.
