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. Radiant Blessing
Seoul—South Korea 2024
Radiant Blessing responded to the theme of urgency through the lens of ‘Mutelu,’ a term for Thai superstitious practices. The exhibition reflected on how spiritual belief becomes a way to navigate uncertainty, particularly through objects believed to offer protection, luck, or control.
Studio150 reimagined spiritual symbols in a new setting to explore how everyday rituals, materials, and beliefs connect to the pressures of modern life.
