Duo-exhibition with Hanna Pherson, May 2026, Performance Hub, Bergen NO.
…Yes! is a duo-exhibition reuniting the artists Chloé Malloggi and Hanna Pherson. They met when Chloé moved into the studio space of Hanna two years ago. Since then, they have been working surrounded by the shapes and objects of each other’s practices. Their works have been created in the same space, but not at the same time – with both of them collecting side jobs it’s difficult for their schedules to align.
The artists are showing old and new works, finished and unfinished. The exhibition unfolds as a collaborative installation combining drawings, sketches, text works, photographs and small objects. …Yes! is an opportunity to get these works out of the studio for a time and see what questions can emerge of the combination of two practices shaped by the same space.
The project explores the idea of the studio as an object and a concept. It is both a site of artistic experimentation and a space shaped by constraints and possibilities. The physical limits of a studio space defines the size and nature of work an artist can make. The drawing is not bigger than the table, the sculpture is not larger than the door.
Installation composed of: tables, cardboard, paper, tape, drawings, frames, jesmonite, fabric, cork, metal, polaroids, printed text, drawing pins, acrylic paint, thread, books, light table, wood.
The exhibition was supported by Bergen Kommune.
