Norwegian gallery Femtensesse, founded by Jenny Kinge in 2020, exhibits and promotes a multigenerational group of artists from Norway and abroad. The gallery’s formative four years thrived within the vibrant community of Ila Pensjonat studio complex, where exhibitions unfolded both outdoors and indoors, pushing boundaries of traditional formats. In 2024, Femtensesse continues its dynamic program at Salgshallen, where the gallery becomes part of a community of small businesses within a historic sales hall dating back to 1932, nestled in the city center of Oslo. Simultaneously, the gallery extends its reach to international art fairs.
The gallery’s program highlights artists with a profound sensitivity to materials, ranging from intricate sculptures on the brink of collapse to the active human body. It includes practices that engage with the abject, take risks, and address critical issues such as environmentalism and feminism. Named after an Old Norse term for a ship with fifteen rowing benches, Femtensesse believes in the transformative power of collaboration.
