TENTHAUS
is an art collective and artist-run space in Oslo initiated in 2009. It's profile is characterized by an open, process-oriented form of participation from an internationally orientated group of artists. The context of contemporary art practice is re-examined through a broader field of activity with exhibitions, workshops, artist's talks and live performances.
Tenthaus (TH) has developed from an artist in school project to encompass a project room and exhibition space. TH strives for excellency in art production and facilitates. Our program includes workshops for youth with minority backgrounds, ad hoc residencies, exhibitions, and events. With the launch of Toolkit and Sessions in 2016, we aim to strengthen mediation around our work with youth and artist practice. In the next three years TH will uphold its work with children and youth as well seek to find other relevant contexts to expand and explore our socially engaged practice. Our diversity policy will be further implemented by using migrants as gallery staff and exhibition guides. TH will have a large proportion of female solo exhibitors.
