Artists from SKOG at Oslo Open

This upcoming weekend, the annual Oslo Open festival invites the public to step inside the workspaces of hundreds of professional visual artists across the city. It is a unique opportunity to see where art is made, meet the creators and get a behind-the-scenes look at their artistic processes.

At SKOG, we are very proud of the talented contemporary artists that we collaborate with! To celebrate this great city-wide initiative, we have put together a quick guide highlighting six amazing artists from the SKOG family who are participating in the Oslo Open this year.

Whether you already discovered their work in our past exhibitions or will see them later this year in our future exhibitions, we highly recommend adding them to your Oslo Open route!

Yu Shuk Pui Bobby

(She/her)
Address: Rådhusatelierene, Rådhusplassen 1, 0037 Oslo
Floor: 13th
Room: Yu Shuk Pui Bobby
Studio is open Saturday 18 April, from 12-17 PM.

Yu Shui Pui Bobby: She is an artist and filmmaker who weaves together moving images, text and performance to explore memory and cultural translation. Embracing humour as a gentle survival tool, she creates spaces that invite viewers to reflect on personal and collective history. Catch her upcoming exhibition with us at SKOG from May 7 to May 31! (In addition to her recent Oslo Shows, she won Best Director at the Freshwave Film Festival in Hong Kong!)

Guri Sandvik

(She/her)
Address: d5 keramikk, Dannevigsveien 5, 0463 Oslo
Floor: 1/kjellerlokale
The studio is open Saturday 18 April from 12-17 PM.

Guri Sandvik: She is a visual artist who has made a mark in ceramics with her clean, almost industrial geometric shapes. Her work ranges from meticulous functional objects to sculptures where she experiments with glazes and recycled clay. We are very excited to announce that Guri will be exhibiting her latest work with us in June! (She has previously showcased her art at prestigious venues like the Sasama Ceramic Art Festival in Japan).

Anders Hald

(Han/ham)
Address: Trondheimsveien 41, 0560 Oslo
Floor: 1.
Studio is open Sunday 19 April from 12-17 PM.

Anders Hald: Working primarily with ceramic sculptures and bas-reliefs, Anders Hald blends abstraction with figuration. His dramatic, energetic pieces are known for their rough textures, featuring visible fingerprints and tool marks that celebrate the physical chaos of the creative process. We had the pleasure of hosting his exhibition “I See What I See” at SKOG from November 16 to December 10, 2023.

Anders Hald was part of the Ceramic Brussel 2025. Read more about the artist here.

Benedicte Dahm

(She/her)

Address: Romsås senter 1, 0970 Oslo
Floor: 4
Room: 415
Studio is open Sunday 19 April from 12-17 PM.

Benedicte Dahm: Her conceptual practice explores our complex relationship with nature and infrastructure. Centered around the theme of “the water tourist”, her fascinating work examines everything from moisture-seeking insects and hikers to river conflicts and urban water systems. We were proud to host her as our selected Artist in Residence at SKOG in July 2024, where she developed this multi-layered project.

Hilde Frantzen

(She/her)
Address: Tøyenbekken 5 /Interkulturelt museum, 0188 Oslo.
Floor: 3.
Room nr: 3047
Studio is open Sunday 19 April from 12-17 PM.

Hilde Frantzen: Working with textiles and environmental art, Hilde Frantzen invites nature to be her co-creator. By placing painted fabrics into rough landscapes, she documents nature’s impact and translates it into detailed embroideries to create new shapes. She recently showcased this beautiful process with us at SKOG from February 5 to March 1 2026. (You can also catch her work this year at the Lillehammer Art Museum!)
