2026 Mar 28 — Apr 18
Across the Thousand-Island Nations, Norway, to Taiwan:
Northing x Hiro Hiro Art Space x Taipei Art Book Fair 10th Anniversary Special Exhibition One Thousand and One Islands — From materials to sensory experience
When the distant Nordic “nation of a thousand islands,” Norway, crosses geographical borders to meet Taiwan, what kind of artistic spark might emerge? As Taiwan’s landmark art-book fair Taipei Art Book Fair (TABF) celebrates its tenth anniversary, this year it has invited the Norway-based cross-cultural art institution Northing to jointly initiate the curatorial project One Thousand and One Islands. During the exhibition, five interdisciplinary and cross-cultural artists—who have been making remarkable impressions on the Nordic contemporary art stage—will be presented to Taiwanese audiences, offering a fleeting yet intense glimpse of sensory tension and cultural reflection.
“To achieve true diversity, including is not enough. We have to use our imagination to create new ways of coexistence.”
This remark by Ravi Agarwal, curator of the 2025 Bergen Assembly, became a key inspiration for One Thousand and One Islands. The project does not simply “transport” artworks from Norway to Taiwan; rather, it proposes a vivid cross-cultural encounter of perception. The title One Thousand and One Islands evokes the gathering of artistic energies across overlapping archipelagos, while also suggesting an ongoing cultural dialogue—suspended in anticipation, like the stories of One Thousand and One Nights, never quite reaching an end.
Kiyoshi YAMAMOTO: No matter where I’m from, I’m not your exotic.
Born in Brazil, shaped by Japanese heritage, and ultimately rooted in Norway, Kiyoshi YAMAMOTO‘s practice is a flamboyant rebuttal to the label of “exoticism.” Refusing to be categorised as a compliant cultural specimen, he instead deploys intensely saturated dyes and the tension of textiles to weave a form of political rhetoric with palpable weight. The vibrant fabrics capture the heat of social conflicts, transforming complex negotiations of identity into powerful sensory encounters that compel viewers to confront the cultural wounds and struggles for power concealed beneath their dazzling surfaces.
Yamamoto has held numerous solo exhibitions, including at Buskerud Art Center, Heimdal Kunstforening, Norske Grafikere, and Soft Gallery. His works are held in several major collections, including Nordenfjeldske Museum of Decorative Arts in Trondheim, KODE Art Museums of Bergen, and the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Brazil.
Lydia Soojin PARK: The indelible fragility, layers after layers.
The ceramics of Lydia Soojin PARK record the sedimentation of time and emotion. Works such as When the Sky Breathes, The Water Listens emerge from experimental firings at both high and low temperatures; each firing produces unpredictable reactions, allowing the artist to explore and blur the boundary between painting and ceramic glaze. Cobalt-blue pigments drift across porcelain surfaces like the faint light where the Norwegian sky meets the sea.
In Temporal Expansion, the artist recombines discarded porcelain shards with factory clay, refiring them into a sculptural form resembling an archive of time itself. Meanwhile, the ambiguous vessel-like shapes in Small Painting hint at the relativity of perception—what we see is not necessarily what we receive. Each work becomes a specimen of contemplation, where air, water, and light condense into a cultural landscape that lingers in memory.
Park’s works are held in major collections including the National Museum of Norway, KODE Art Museums of Bergen, the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the City of Oslo, and Nordenfjeldske Museum of Decorative Arts in Trondheim. In 2014 she received the Talente Prize – Meister der Zukunft in Munich.
Daniela BERGSCHNEIDER: Searching for the boundary between beauty and repulsion with porcelain and textile.
Daniela BERGSCHNEIDER is adept at unsettling material perception, creating works that evoke a powerful sense of the uncanny. By stitching together cold, sharp porcelain fragments with soft, wrinkled textiles, she constructs ambiguous forms that seem to hover between organism and object, between imitation of nature and artificial experiment.
These works possess tactile qualities reminiscent of skin, organs, or deep-sea creatures, stirring a sensation that feels strangely familiar yet impossible to name. Bergschneider deliberately dissolves the boundary between “beauty” and “repulsion,” allowing the two to coexist in unstable equilibrium. When viewers are drawn closer by the works’ intricate construction, yet instinctively recoil from their fleshy, invasive organic forms, this moment of contradiction becomes precisely the tactile reflection the artist intends: our cognitive boundaries loosen, and within the fissure between illusion and reality lies the possibility of redefining what we consider real.
Bergschneider’s works are held in major collections including the National Museum of Norway, KODE Art Museums of Bergen, Nordenfjeldske Museum of Decorative Arts in Trondheim Equinor Art Programme, Textile and Clothing Association of Portugal, City of Gothenburg, Guldagergaard Ceramic Research Center in Denmark.
Tobias KVENDSETH: To fence off the tenderness of a bullet with the vulnerable armour.
The works of Tobias KVENDSETH operate as elegant visual deceptions. His practice traces the psychological aftershocks produced by social structures and cultural traditions—shame, agitation, and obedience.
In the series Anti-Seeds, he observes the striking morphological resemblance between artificial weapons such as bombs or bullets and plant seeds. Both are small in scale yet charged with immense potential energy. Through this overlap of forms, Kvendseth probes the blurred boundary between benefit and harm: can human intention truly exist independently from the forms we create, or have we unknowingly become accomplices to their destructive potential?
In Bryste/Briste, he exploits material properties to transform soft clay into objects that convincingly resemble heavy metallic armour. These seemingly rigid armours reveal themselves instead as dissections of shame and the protective impulse—the attempt to armour oneself against vulnerability.
Trine Lise NEDREAAS: Our shared experience of a temporal existence in a relentless eternity.
Alongside the video work Adorn, this exhibition also presents Trine Lise NEDREAAS‘s sculptural lamp Monkey’s Fist.
In Adorn, the uncanny appears in a form that is both unsettling and meticulously composed. The single-shot video frame is entirely occupied by a single eye and its eyelid. Here, Nedreaas extends her exploration of the screen as an interface between two gazes. The viewer is drawn to stare at the eye as its eyelid is decorated with glittering turquoise beads by carefully manicured hands painted with crimson nail polish.
The powdery texture of eyeshadow contrasts sharply with the pale hands, so markedly different that they appear to belong to separate bodies—suggesting that another person may be inflicting this delicate torment. Whether interpreted as a masochistic gesture of self-inflicted pain or an act of sadistic imposition upon another, the weight of the jewellery causes the eyelid to droop.
Yet if one reads against the apparent violence of the action, the gesture may also be understood as a dazzling transformation: the eye is reshaped into an unfamiliar, almost biological life-form.
The sculptural lamp Monkey’s Fist draws its inspiration from the traditional sailor’s knot that embodies both safety and violence. The heavy knot secures ships to the dock, yet historically sailors have also used it as a surprisingly destructive weapon.
Nedreaas’ works are held in major collections including the The National Museum of Norway, KODE Art Museums of Bergen, DNB Art Collection, Bergen municipality, Stavanger Art Museum, Albright Knox Collection in the USA, Staatliches Museum Schwerin in Germany, Neuen Berliner Kunstvereins in Berlin Germany. Private collections in countries like Norway, USA, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy.
Taiwan, as an island shaped by complex histories and layered cultural influences, has long engaged the world through openness and dialogue. Through the occasion of the tenth anniversary of Taipei Art Book Fair, this project brings a forward-looking Norwegian artistic perspective into conversation with Taiwan’s vibrant cultural landscape.

About Artists
Kiyoshi YAMAMOTO
Kiyoshi Yamamoto is a Japanese-Brazilian artist living and working in Bergen. They work with materials including textiles, silk-screen prints, printing, jewellery and performance. Their materials are often recycled, or large, colourful sheets of silk and cotton. These works often ask critical and challenging questions about societal structures, at both the social and political level. Yamamoto has an MA in Art from the Kunsthøgskolen in Bergen (2013) and has studied at London College of Fashion and Escala de Belas Arts in Rio de Janeiro. They have exhibited at various national and international venues, and created artworks for several public buildings. In 2025 they had a solo exhibition at Munch Museum, Oslo. At same time they is working on two commissions for the Oslo Courthouse and the Cissi Klein School in Trondheim.
Lydia SooJin PARK
Lydia SooJin Park is a ceramic-based artist. She holds a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2009–13) and an MFA from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (2021–23), where she was awarded the NK Student Prize in Oslo 2023. Her artistic techniques and practice are grounded in a personal philosophy of seeking originality and materiality in everyday life, especially through clay—an element naturally given by the earth. Park has been awarded the National 3-year Working Grant for Young Artists, as well as the Talente Preis 2024 – Meister der Zukunft from HWK für München und Oberbayern (Munich, Germany). Her works are held in the collections of Nasjonalmuseet, KODE Bergen, UD (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), Oslo Kommune, and the Nordenfjeldske Kunstindustrimuseum (National Museum of Decorative Arts, Trondheim).n Poland in 1988. Currently lives and works in Gdynia, Poland. In 2013, she obtained her degree in painting at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, Poland. After graduation, Marchewka started working as an animator on the world’s first fully painted film, “Loving Vincent,” and later on “The Peasants” (produced by BreakThru Films). Since leaving BreakThru Films, she has been painting full-time and exhibiting worldwide, including in Italy, the U.K., Taiwan, the U.S., and Poland.
Daniela BERGSCHNEIDER
Daniela Bergschneider (b. 1986, Germany) explores the relationship between textiles and porcelain through sculptural works that evoke a universal sense of corporeality beyond the human body. In her practice, porcelain suggests bones and joints, while textiles function like skin, giving the sculptures a bodily presence that appears to move, expand, and contract. Her research focuses on how far these forms can be manipulated while still allowing viewers to form associations. Daniela is based in Bergen and completed her MA in Fine Art at UiB’s Faculty of Art, Music and Design in 2020. She has participated in numerous national and international group exhibitions, and her works are held in the collections of the National Museum in Oslo, KODE Bergen, Nordenfjeldske Kunstindustrimuseum in Trondheim, the Equinor Art Collection, and the City of Gothenburg.
Tobias KVENDSETH
Tobias Kvendseth is a Bergen-based artist, originally from Trondheim, Norway. He holds an MFA from the Bergen Academy of Fine Arts. His artistic practice spans ceramics, installation, and sound, through which he explores how form and auditory elements function as tools for investigating human-made environments, physical objects, and internal states. By bridging the gap between concept and form, Kvendseth works toward concretizing abstract themes into an accessible, sculptural language.
Trine Lise NEDREAAS
Trine Lise Nedreaas is a multi-disciplinary artist best known for her film practice, alongside drawing, sculpture, and photography. Through intimate performances and makeshift materials, her work explores shared experiences of temporal existence. Her films often feature solitary performers absorbed in specialized acts, where the body’s negotiation with time, effort, and fatigue reflects the underlying structures of lived experience. Using close framing and rhythmic multi-screen installations, Nedreaas captures the traces of labor and the passage of time, framing human existence as a continuous act of rehearsal marked by repetition and inevitable failure.
Nedreaas’ work has been exhibited worldwide, notably at the billboards of Times Square in New York, the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, PS1 MoMa, Kunstwerke in Berlin, Palazzo delle Arti in Napoli, Everson Museum, Kunstverein Schwerin, New Center for Contemporary Art in Louisville, MACRO in Rome, International Biennial Bienalsur in Buenos Aires, Boca Raton Museum in Miami, Art Pavilion in Zagreb, Albright Knox Gallery, and Astrup Fearnley in Oslo.
Her work is represented in private and public collections, including Nasjonalmuseet, KODE i Bergen, Stavanger Kunstmuseum, Albright Knox Collection USA, Neuer Berliner Kunstverein Berlin, and Staatliches Museum Schwerin Germany. Nedreaas has also developed commissioned artworks for Den Norske Opera og Ballett in Oslo, Koksa property at Fornebu, and for Inspiria Science Centre in Moss.
