Art Calendar

Dorothée Nilsson is proud to present Evan Roth's solo exhibition, A Hundred Thousand Years of Light.

Photography has been woven so thoroughly into the contours of our lives that we rarely stop to feel its texture. Evan Roth does. In A Hundred Thousand Years of Light, photographic images are digitally printed onto fabric and stitched with a domestic sewing machine, thread tracing a path that wanders without destination.

What happens when a contemporary artist chooses quilting as the primary medium through which photographic images circulate? Against the accelerated cycles of contemporary image culture, the work proposes an alternative grounded in duration, accumulation, and the materialization of light.

BERG Contemporary celebrates its 10th anniversary with a joint exhibition of the gallery's artists and several of its recurring guests.

Most of the works are new, and many of them have been created especially for this occasion. The emphasis remains on creating a coherent exhibition while highlighting the individual characteristics of each artist. It goes without saying that the intention here is not to present each artist in their entirety. They are complex and multifaceted, sharing the common denominator of successful careers, albeit of varying lengths.

The exhibition can rather be seen as a simultaneous snapshot of each artist and the gallery.

Galerie Nordenhake celebrates its 50th anniversary with a major exhibition unfolding simultaneously across its three spaces in Stockholm, Berlin, and Mexico City.

Opening during the first weekend of July, Galerie Nordenhake Berlin, Stockholm, Mexico City, 50 years brings together historical pieces and newly commissioned works by 84 artists. Functioning as both an exhibition and a living archive, it traces the history of the gallery from its inception in 1976 to the present day. Rather than following a chronological framework, the exhibition centers on the artists, their work and interwoven relationships cultivated by the gallery over five decades.

Persons Projects is pleased to present Bamboo Whispers in Fading Light, a solo exhibition by Finnish artist Sandra Kantanen, one of the leading figures of the Helsinki School.

The exhibition brings together works that reflect Kantanen’s long-standing fascination with idealized Asian landscapes. The show continues her search for environments threatened or already damaged by human activity, which she then reinterprets through her artistic intervention.

Helsinki Contemporary is pleased to present Swedish-Chilean artist Anton Alvarez's first solo exhibition in Finland.

The Colour of Gravity presents striking ceramic sculptures that play with the human scale and challenge our perceptions of craftsmanship and the use of technology in art.

Anton Alvarez approaches artmaking through materials and processes. He designs and builds machines that he uses to create his works, combining the roles of both engineer and sculptor. In addition to ceramics, Alvarez has worked with materials such as thread and, as of late, papier-mâché, creating exhibitions in which, for example, museum staff used an extruder to produce ceramic sculptures for the exhibition while it was on view.

Galerie Anhava is pleased to present Inka Bell in her solo exhibition, To and Fro.

Inka Bell‘s delicate yet edgy solo exhibition explores liminal spaces between two- and three-dimensionality. The show consists of paper sculptures and collage-like works whose essence lies in the dynamic between geometric forms and the material and technique. Even with their echoes of minimalism and concretism, the works are nevertheless unmistakably, playfully, insightfully Bell’s own. They are subtle events of transition, repetition, and transformation where two surfaces come together again and again.

i8 is pleased to present Afterimage, Arna Óttarsdóttir third solo exhibition with i8, that inaugurates i8’s newly renovated gallery space at Tryggvagata 16 in Reykjavík.

For Afterimage, Óttarsdóttir has created three major new weavings in her largest scale to date. These works expand the artist’s exploration of color, texture, shape, and composition, while maintaining her dedication to handmaking and exploration of personal influences.

Throughout this exhibition, several dualities emerge, including the presentation of works inspired by the dark harshness of winter during the bright, long light of summer. The palette of Óttarsdóttir’s new tapestries is heavier and deeper than any of her prior weavings. While the warp, the vertical threads that form the structure of a textile, in her works is typically undyed, these new weavings have a dark warp, which further emphasizes the enveloping nightfall that is characteristic of Icelandic winters.

i8 Gallery is pleased to present the works by Birgir Andrésson (1955-2007) who lived an worked in Reykjavik, Iceland.

The Bear from Bern is a presentation of works by Birgir Andrésson originally commissioned for the Department of Social Services in the Swiss capital of Bern.

Arnstedt Östra Karup is proud to present Diana Orving, in her solo exhibition, A room that is fainted.

Diana Orving's work often moves in a field between fragment and whole. Forms arise as individual elements, but at the same time seem to be part of a larger context. They stretch towards each other, form connections and open spatial relationships that cannot always be seen from a single point. What appears to be a coherent form from one angle can be dissolved and reshaped from another.

Arnstedt Östra Karup is pleased to present Linn Fernström in her solo exhibition, Among Eagles.

Linn Fernström is one of Sweden’s most acclaimed contemporary artists. She is now presenting a new exhibition, "Bland örnar" (Among Eagles), at the same gallery where she made her debut 26 years ago.

Isaak Fangel is pleased to present the solo exhibition Still Serving with new works by Clara Schmidt.

If Clara Schmidt's sculptures are not divas themselves, then they are at least orbiting their territory. She make works that know they're being looked at and have most certainly dressed accordingly. Schmidt's works operate in the space between the rehearsed gesture, the immaculate arrangement, and the live moment where something honest keeps slipping through the spectacle. (The real tear on the Hollywood big screen).

Martin Asbæk Gallery is proud to present a new solo show by Markus Oehlen. The exhibition, which is simply titled Painting, presents works created between 2023 and 2026 and demonstrates the breadth of Oehlen’s practice.

Each painting unfolds according to its own internal logic, shifting between abstraction and figuration, order and disruption, precision and spontaneity. By using image-based sampling, familiar forms appear only to dissolve again, while fragments of art history, popular culture, graphic design, and everyday visual culture collide in layered compositions. A key feature of Oehlen’s most recent paintings is the incorporation of manipulated photographs combined with pixel-like grids.

Annika Nuttall Gallery is pleased to present Toninho Dingl in his solo exhibition, Retail Therapy.

Toninho Dingl's work is characterized by a dialectical approach and treatment of things. He seeks to work out the contradictions or tensions that arise from everyday experiences, allowing the things themselves to speak or even to dance. The shopping bag, is a dialectical work on the sublation of the industrial shopping bag through a new material, ceramic.

Galerie Forsblom is proud to present a solo exhibition by Emma Helle titled, Kamara.

Emma Helle is a Finnish sculptor who casts the spotlight on marginalized creatures and examines the question of representation in her work. Her sculptures construct alternative narratives, drawing not only on art history but also on folklore and classical mythology.

The surfaces of the sculptures range from rough to smooth, from glazed and richly colored to bare and raw surfaces. Helle’s figures are active agents, and her relaxed yet abundant mode of expression, emphasized by soft forms and a theatrical presence, recalls canonical works of art history. Across different periods, the depiction of the human figure has been shaped by specific conventions, a legacy that Helle engages with by challenging dualistic notions of the body.

Galerie Forsblom is proud to present a solo exhibition by Markku Keränen titled, A Little Summer.

Markku Keränen’s tempera paintings are composed of playful abstract forms that appear to interact with one another. His circular motifs create the illusion of constant motion – shimmering, converging, and drifting apart again. This continuous movement lends each form a distinct presence. Working in series, Keränen engages with long-standing traditions of painting, while his distinctive approach to composition allows new visual relationships to constantly emerge.

Galerie Forsblom is proud to present a solo exhibition by artist Mie Olise Kjærgaard titled, Off the Deep End.

Mie Olise Kjærgaard paints women in motion – sailing, skating, riding horses, building, and making music, often carrying children as they go. They move with purpose, energy, and joy. In her work, Kjærgaard explores what happens when women act on their own terms and step beyond expectation. Her figures are active and powerful – taking risks, having fun, and asserting their freedom. Her vigorous, expressive style underscores the strength and independence of the women she depicts. These are not narratives of perfection, but of persistence, invention, and the courage to act.

Galleri Riis is proud to present a new solo exhibition by Marie Buskov titled Lys fra løse kanter.

Through several exhibitions over the last decade, Marie Buskov (b. 1980 in Rosenholm, Denmark) has become well known on the Norwegian art scene for her vital abstract works on paper, wallpaintings and sculptures constructed from steel or cast in bronze, stoneware or aluminum.

Lagune Ouest is pleased to present Automatons Republic, a solo exhibition by Mille Qvist.

Can, cannot, may, may not. Upon closer inspection, the four midnight-blue sculptures on vertical plinths reveal themselves to be slightly modified oak hat-blocks; antiquated tools over which milliners once stretched damp, compliant felt or leather, leaving the material to dry and stiffen into form. Despite this intimate, expanding-relational connection between form and material, it is the sculptures’ slick surfaces—borrowed from the fetishized perfection of the automobile and the narrative potential of science fiction props—that transform these tools into uncanny automata whose interiors have been gently dissected.

V1 Salon is pleased to present Søren Arildsen in his solo exhibition, In the Mood for Apples.

Some memories don’t return because we look for them. They arrive on their own, usually while we’re occupied with something else. Peeling fruit. Stepping out on a frozen lake. Looking through a window that reflects more than it reveals.

Søren Arildsen aim to let his paintings inhabit that uncertain territory. Figures drift through domestic interiors, parks and anonymous corners of the city as though they have stepped out of recollection rather than observation. Nothing insists on a fixed narrative. Instead, each work lingers in the space where memory quietly edits reality, softening one detail while sharpening another.

Þula is proud to present the solo exhibition, Earth, with works by Anna Rún.

What happens when the body becomes a way of reading the landscape? Not as a metaphor, but as a sensory instrument. In Anna Rún's drawings, land is not simply seen; it is inhabited, remembered and felt. The body becomes a measure of environmental experience, just as the landscape becomes a record of movement, vulnerability and change. The works suggest a form of somatic knowledge—an understanding accumulated through sensation, proximity, memory, and lived experience rather than detached observation.

Andersen's Contemporary is pleased to present the group exhibition, ULTIMATE CHARGE by Sylvie Fleury and Esben Weile Kjær.

ULTIMATE CHARGE presents a new series of collaborative sculptures that bring the artists' practices into dialogue through spectacle, desire, consumer culture and the aesthetics of excess. The exhibition also presents sculptures, wall painting, and a sound work created in collaboration with musician Russell Haswell.

SPECTA is pleased to present a solo exhibition featuring new works by South African artist Frances Goodman. The exhibition will feature new ceramic works and quilts.

Frances Goodman is an interdisciplinary artist based in Johannesburg who works with materials linked to fashion and the beauty industry, which includes acrylic nails, false eyelashes, sequins, and needlework. Her work explores femininity, identity, and self-presentation in both social and virtual spaces. Through glossy, sensual sculptures and installations, she examines beauty ideals, consumer culture, and the commodification of identity. A key aspect of her practice is the contrast between urgent contemporary themes and slow, repetitive crafting processes that encourage deeper reflection.

Andréhn-Schiptjenko has the pleasure of presenting Canitas, José León Cerrillo's fourth solo exhibition in Stockholm.

Cerrillo's artistic practice interrogates the potential of pure abstraction across a diverse range of media, including printed posters, drawings, diagrams, sculptures, installations, and performance. His work conceptualises abstraction as a process of materialisation that inevitably encounters failure – manifesting as voids, absences, or paradoxes that challenge conventional perceptions of abstract form.

… just a shell. is a year-long exhibition by Ingólfur Arnarsson at i8 Grandi.

Throughout the year, the artist will make architectural modifications to the exhibition space through additions and alterations, while the inclusion of a set of drawings serves as a constant in each transformation. Arnarsson’s drawings are built up through layered crosshatching of hard-leaded pencil lines, creating a field of subtle irregularities. Continuously evolving with the addition of new works and interventions, each iteration will be accompanied by a new text by Lani Yamamoto.
