About The Works
Announcements, 2026
Olav Christopher Jenssen has long incorporated signs into his everyday life and artistic practice, using them in both his studio and his home to mark occasions, announce activities or new series, and orient both daily life and artistic process.
Announcements extends this gesture into public space and in Tivoli, an environment shaped by attractions, directions, and garden signage, the installation playfully inserts paintings into this existing display system.
