One Night Only Gallery (ONO) was established in january 2008. ONO is run by Mohammed Fadlabi, Tito Frey, Jon Benjamin Tallerås and Erlend Grytbakk Wold.
Every Monday night for four years we have opened a new exhibition. And as the name suggests, the duration of the show is one night.
ONO is – with a continuous and repetitive format every Monday night – an established platform on Oslo’s art scene. Since September 2010, we have based our program at UKS (Young Artist’s Society’s) premises.
With a direct and dynamic attitude in relation to the presentation of works, often straight from the studio, we constitute a connection between emerging artists and the audience as well as exposing the work to curators and collectors.
The exhibition space is a social space, and ONO is a gathering place for young artists. Every Monday we cook and serve free food for you to enjoy while hanging out and discussing the show.
ONO started as a student initiative and originally organized exhibitions at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts in St. Olavsgate.
"Here the name is the program (...) Accelerated show settings are not only a question of efficiency or cultural structures in times of crashing markets, this time frame urges automatically the invited artists to show the essence of their body of work."
