Breadbox Contemporary is an artist driven gallery space situated in the cafeteria at the National Academy of Art, Oslo initiated by Kaare Ruud in 2019 and now run by BA student Jasper Siverts. With no other particular agendas but to research what you can do in a small-scale space that reacts with the noise and setting of a highly trafficated feeding machine in the background. With pure intentions only, Breadbox is trying to connect the SiO cafeteria to your daily exposure of art, and make use of the space outside of visiting hours, to hang out and share dialogues with fellow colleagues over a cup of coffee and sometimes leftovers from the café.

A return, with an unknown intention. From an unknown, yet so familiar force. Perhaps we threw to many things in the air and this is gravity reclaiming it. Whatever it might be, we will stand here like receptacles folding our hands into bowl-like shapes, waiting for the things we lost so willingly to be retrieved to us.
