Current presentation

One work. One room.Enough time to notice it.

Kunsthalle Nedre keeps the noise outside. Our lower-level room holds a single proposition, changed only when it has finished asking its question.

A Room That Listens by Ida Løken: three quiet black arcs and a warm-grey trace on white paper.
Ida Løken, A Room That Listens, 2026. Graphite, ash and wax on cotton rag.

03 / room note

Løken began by recording the furnace below her childhood apartment, then redrew its pauses until the sound became something you could stand beside. The marks are made slowly: graphite ground into wax, then lifted back out with ash.

04 / while this work is here

Opening conversation with Ida Løken, 18:30. Seating is deliberately scarce.

Quiet hour. The room is held for twelve visitors at a time, with no introduction.

Reading table: notes on graphite, domestic acoustics, and looking without a camera.

05 / a room measure

The register is empty. Take a measure only if you have time to wait.

Three observations, then leave it alone.

At 14:17, the pipe stops. At 14:19, the tram passes. At 14:22, the room returns your shadow.

06 / coming downstairs

Nedre gate 14. Ring once; we will open when the room is ready.
