Tenthaus Art Collective began as an artists-in-schools project in 2009 and have since spent over a decade maintaining strong relations to the community – working together in various constellations to cultivate and nurture its environment. The collective is characterised by an open, process-oriented form of participation and collaboration, focusing on local contexts and exploring collectivity and inclusion through different forms of engagement models.

Based in Oslo, Tenthaus' operates through a project room and an exhibition space, a mobile studio, and a wide range of curatorial projects. Tenthaus reimagines themselves and what it means to be artists working with the public, and what makes a relevant socially-engaged practice today. The collective works with discursive events, radio, research, exchanges, workshops, and exhibitions with an international orientation. Each of its members brings a distinct set of skills, practices, and cultural knowledge. The distinctive result of their collaborations and collective discussion is visible through their work. 

While in residence, Tenthaus will be experimenting with a long-term global collaboration, THE OVEN, a multi-city collaborative project with Studio 150 (Bangkok), Space 413 / PACK (Seoul) and GUDSKUL (Jakarta) that encompasses a range of projects from exhibitions, translations to discursive gatherings and publications. In Singapore, the group will convene in SAM Residencies’ EX-SITU studio space in August and September 2024, where they will continue their practice of exploring gathering methodologies within different localities.
