NETWORKCONTACTOVEN is joining Tokyo Biennale 2025 with Tenthaus Collective. Together we present RRR OFFICE, a temporary space for research, record, and report. The office will be operating in Akihabara from October to December. Stay tuned for updates and programs. See you soon in Tokyo! 
OVEN is a transnational network for artistic exchange.

Rooted in collaboration, OVEN brings together collectives across Southeast Asia and the Nordics to foster shared learning, co-thinking, and long-term engagement. We view art and design not as outcomes but as tools for observation, friction, and transformation.

It takes shape through art projects, exhibitions, research, residencies, workshops, publications, gatherings, and moments of exchange, adapting to the context around it. We welcome those with a shared curiosity to think collectively, hold space for difference, and explore new ways of moving forward.PROJECTS

Daddy’s Dinner
Seoul—South Korea / Oslo—Norway
2024

Daddy’s Dinner brought together works by Jinbin Chen, Jacky Jaan-Yuan Kuo, and Bobby Yu Shuk Pui to explore migration, queerness, and family structures within East Asian patriarchal cultures. Using the dinner table as a metaphor, the project reflected on how care, conflict, and power play out in domestic settings.

Presented as part of The OVEN : URGENCY Project, the exhibition took place in two locations: at Tenthaus in Oslo and as a mirrored presentation at 413BETA in Seoul. Through film, painting, sculpture, installation, and arranged objects, the artists transformed the gallery into a space of reflection on identity, belonging, and inherited roles.

Artists : Jinbin Chen, Jacky Jaan-Yuan Kuo, Bobby Yu Shuk Pui
