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. Three-Nons
Seoul—South Korea2024
Three-Nons was the third exhibition in The OVEN: URGENCY Project, presented by Gudskul and curated by Gesyada Siregar. The exhibition featured works by Anita Bonit, JJ Adibrata, MG Pringgotono, and Rifandi Nugroho, addressing topics such as economic precarity, political aftermath, AI and learning, and the meaning of physical presence today.
The title refers to “non-preconception, non-academic technique, and non-academic aesthetic,” a principle of the late Indonesian artist Nashar. As a curatorial framework, Three-Nons embraced an open and urgent mode of making, inviting art to respond directly to the present without bias or hierarchy.
