Yngve Holen

Yngve Holen’s (b.1892) whose sculptures interrogates the technological systems that give shape and form to contemporary life, using materials and objects ‘borrowed’ from industry. In Holen’s work, the ruins of the modern ideal emerge: live longer, go faster, think harder.

habitat extends an invitation to Holen to go through the relics of post-industrial ideal, potentially navigating towards the new.

Holen’s work has been the subject of recent solo exhibitions at Galerie Nordenhake, Mexico City (2025); Galerie Neu, Berlin (2023); Spazio Maiocchi, Milan (2022); X Museum, Beijing (2021); Kunstverein Lübeck (2020); Modern Art, London (2019); Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo (2019); Kunsthall Stavanger (2019).
