THE SPACE/COLLECTIVE
G.U.N.
Galleri Uten Navn
Galleri Uten Navn, or Gallery Untitled in English, was started
in 1994. The gallery was to be an alternative space where artists
easily and with relatively short notice could show and develop
new projects and present their ideas about art in a non-commercial
way.
Through our Art of Hospitality exchange-project G.U.N. has hosted
a number of different artists from around the world. The project
was started in 2000 when we saw the advantage of having our own
living unit for visiting artists. We thought other artist-run
spaces probably had the same needs so we started to export bunkbeds.
In exchange we ask for a return exhibition or project at our
space in Oslo.
The bunkbed is a symbol of cooperation and new opportunities.
Artists are welcome to send in project and exhibition proposals
with the possibility to stay in our space as G.U.N.'s own Artist
in Residence.

UPDATE 2005
G.U.N. no longer exists as a gallery and artist in residence
project.
The G.U.N. Ladies, an artist group, continues
to function as a separate entity.
