Simen Utsigt Stenberg
(He/him)
Address: Arendalsgata 16, 0463 Oslo
The studio is open Sunday 27 April from 12-17
With a practice rooted in a research-based approach to objects, Simen Utsigt Stenberg (b. 1992) explores the blurred boundaries between the subject and its surroundings. Working mainly with assemblage, sculpture and photography his work has dealt with themes such as biomimicry, perception, infrastructure and design. He studied at Trondheim Art Academy, Oslo National Academy of the Arts and Malmö Art Academy, where he earned his MFA in 2019. Recent exhibitions include Cluster Root at Heerz Tooya (Veliko Turnovo, BG), Strange Attractor at Afloat Contemporary (Bergen, NO) and Squeeze Operator at Konstepidemin (Gothenburg, SE).
