EIRIK FALCKNER

(b. 1995) is a Norwegian artist based in Bergen, working across multiple disciplines including ceramics, textiles, video, painting and installation. He holds a BFA from Bergen Academy of Art and Design (2021). His works often reference forms found in nature, such as fossils, corals and roots, while simultaneously pointing towards something unknown and unsettling - evoking what one might imagine exists in the depths of the ocean and outer space. A recurring theme in his work is a sense of transience, exploring the human condition in relation to the powerful and prehistoric natural forces that form the basis of our existence. In recent years, Falckner has exhibited at venues including Kristiansund Kunsthall, Kraft, Kunsthall Grenland and Skog Art Space.

ALI GALLEFOSS

(b. 1989, Bergen) work sits amongst the categories of art and design, flowing between organic shapes, sculptural forms and architectural structures. He works with a diverse variety of techniques and materials, such as aluminium and clay, to create objects which explore the coincidences and possibilities that lie within the process of making. Starting his process with a basic intention for its function, Gallefoss lets his relationship with the materials grow and guide the process. Unexpected forms and textures merge functionality with visual expression - creating something more visceral and experiential. Gallefoss holds a BA in Furniture and Spatial Design from the Bergen Academy of Art and Design, and an MA from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts.

INGEBORG TYSSE

(b. 1992) is a Norwegian artist based in Bergen, Norway. She graduated with an MFA from Bergen Art Academy in 2024 and holds a BFA from Oslo National Academy of the Arts, Textile department. Tysse's multidisciplinary practice takes shape as sculpture, installation, weaving, costumes, video and text. Her sculptural, deconstructed bodies often unfold in scenographic installations with weavings as narrative backdrops, and carry elements of contemporary and historical myths, personal accounts and humor, hovering between reality and fiction. Exploring the nuances rather than dualities, Tysse approaches her surroundings through an animistic perspective as a method of care and conservation. She combines manipulated found material, digital imagery, crafts and materials that mirror and form metaphorical narratives. Through activating the tension between the organic and the synthetic, the natural and the constructed, the work reflects her interests in the subconscious and explores hierarchies in normative society and the undesirable on an individual and collective level.
