Art Calendar

GSA Gallery is pleased to present Martin Wickström’s second solo exhibition together with the gallery. In the exhibition Last Song (Based on True Events), new works are showcased. Born and raised in Finspång, Wickström has gained international recognition for his paintings and installations that explore profound themes such as identity, memory, and human relations.

Cecilia Hillström Gallery is pleased to present Olivia Pettersson Fleur’s second solo show at the gallery, Atomic Snapshot. Olivia Pettersson Fleur works with painting on paper, where her brush strokes form colour gradients that are shredded into thousands of pieces and then reassembled with a slight displacement. Lately, circular elements have found their way into the collages in both negative and positive shapes. The craftsmanship of her meticulous process resembles that of weaving or similar textile expressions. At the same time, the collages also have a complex digital connotation, like depicting the transmission of data or details of pixels forming a whole.

Gether Contemporary is proud to present the group exhibition DARE TO DREAM, where five international visual artists shed light on the painting's ability to create landscapes and image surfaces that blend illusion and dreams with reality. The exhibition showcases works by Laura Klünter (DE), Pierre Knop (DE), Jochen Mühlenbrink (DE), Gioele Amaro (IT), and Richard Woods (UK).

Gallery Steinsland Berliner is proud to present The Minus World/Minusvärlden, an exhibition of new work by artist Tommy Sveningsson. Imagery of mystical winter scenes executed in ink, charcoal, pastel and acrylic draw upon contemporary themes while honouring the classical landscape.

Galleria Heino presents a series of black and white nature-themed photographs by photographic artist Martti Jämsä (b.1959)

Galleria Heino presents artist SerraGlia's exhibition Wrapped Wonders, a series of AI-generated images and manipulated photographs. Drawing inspiration from the transformative history of photography, the project delves into the new potential aesthetics of digitally created images.

Saskia Neuman Gallery presents At Each Island by artist Niklas Delin. The exhibition introduces the artist's work in a suite of new paintings that explore the characteristics of painting in relation to light.

SPECTA is delighted to present The Game of Life, a solo exhibition showing new works by Brazilian artist Otavio Schipper. In a new film, Schipper takes the audience onboard a visual journey in a flow of scientific imagery about our achievements in mapping, exploring, and enhancing biology on a cellular level. Juxtaposing the film, the exhibition shows a series of drawings which playfully explore one's psyche and the social dimensions of lives.

For his presentation of new work at BERG Contemporary in August of 2023, Pablo Jansana betrays a fascination with an aperture that makes an existential change feel graspable. He does this by rendering transformation as both movement and proximity in relation to a portal, which beckons us to consider adjacent universes but does not guarantee safety. The portal opens unexpectedly between the known and the unknown, leaving a lingering suggestion of implicit violence.

palace enterprise proudly presents artist Young-jun Tak's exhibition Street Religion.

Galerie Anhava presents They could hear a faraway thunder by artist Jorma Puranen. This solo exhibition continues the accomplished artist’s sustained investigation of the themes of colonial history and Arctic exploration. The title of the show is a quote from a poem by the Greenlandic poet and human rights activist Aqqaluk Lynge about caribou hunting in the old days, when the people could sometimes hear a sound like faraway thunder a few days before the arrival of caribou herds.

Van Etten is delighted to present the solo exhibition My Old Norwegian by visual artist Ulrich Vogl. Vogl works mainly with installation and sculpture. In his practice, he delicately manoeuvres materials and concepts. His visual language, never arbitrary or excessive, gently guides both the eye and the mind in surprising directions, while also leaving space for the spectator to venture into their own interpretative horizons.

Galleri Magnus Karlsson is delighted to present the exhibition The Blue Rider by Kent Iwemyr. It is his eighth solo exhibition at the gallery since the collaboration began in 1992. A catalogue with reproductions of all 22 paintings and texts by the artist is published by the gallery in connection with the exhibition.

Andersen’s is pleased to present Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen’s second solo exhibition in the gallery, titled Re-staging Stages. The exhibition delves into the artist’s transformative process as she revisits, reimagines, and recontextualizes four of her earlier performance works, now presented as permanent stages, herby stepping aside as the performing body/subject.

Cecilia Hillström Gallery is pleased to present The Living Room – Lovisa Ringborg’s fifth exhibition at the gallery. The new project features photography and sculpture, centring around an interior setting where reddish-pink tones bring the works together. In the photographic work, Ringborg has combined daylight and infrared light, which captures the presence of heat as well as visible light.

Croy Nielsen presents Perpetual Language by artists Patricia L. Boyd and Na Mira.

Þula is proud to present Kasboom by artist Auður Ómarsdóttir.

In Maiju Salmenkivi’s paintings, urban city silhouettes blend into nature and geometric gestures are combined with organic forms. The motifs’ scales in the Building Pyramids exhibition range from tiny cellular level to massive power plants, coal mountaintops, and architectural milestones.

Galerie Forsblom presents Things Falling Into Place by artist Stig Baumgartner. For the artist, painting is a process of becoming visible. The form and subject find their shape through the process, which invariably entails identification with something as yet strange and unknown. Upon completion, what initially presents itself as an indeterminate geometric composition finally falls into place and in doing so, the identity of the work also finds its consummate shape. The finished work is like a joyful exclamation: This is exactly how I was supposed to look!

Martin Asbæk Gallery is proud to present the exhibition Uneven Transitions by Norwegian-Algerian visual artist Hans Hamid Rasmussen. The exhibition is based on the artist’s ongoing photographic study of the Kasbah in Algiers as well as the Old Town in Oslo.

LOYAL is proud to present Ross Caliendo’s solo exhibition Horizon Pupil in Stockholm, Sweden. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition in Europe and comes as a follow-up to his solo presentation at Independent Art Fair with Ross+Kramer in New York and the group exhibition The Descendants at K11 Musea in Hong Kong.

Galleri Bo Bjergaard presents Sølvbryn by Tal R.

Helsinki Contemporary presents Too Big for the Hidey-hole by artist Leonor Ruiz Dubrovin. The artist's artistic exploration centers around the intricate concept of identity. Her work reflects a profound concern with the construction of the self and the multifaceted ways in which personal identities are formed, restricted or enhanced, as well as how external perceptions and labels shape us.

The magnum opus 'Memory Lost' by photographer and activist Nan Goldin – one of the most revered and significant artists of our time. The work is presented alongside selected works from the collection by artists Taryn Simon and Cindy Sherman. Here you will also find the Kusama installation 'Gleaming Lights of the Souls'.

The American artist Rachel Rose stands today as one of the most central artists of her generation, who, through visually surprising and seductive image experiments, focuses on the current issues of our time: Man's impact on nature and the landscape and our growing consumption of technology. She is primarily known for her video works, but also works with painting, drawing and sculpture – often as collective installation works.

Dorothée Nilsson Gallery presents Blue (Shell for You) by artist Lotta Antonsson. The artist belongs to a generation of Swedish artists who emerged in the 1990s, inspired by post-structuralist theory and art exploring new media as it pertains to identity formation. For nearly three decades, her work has questioned the objectification of women with irony and self-distance. Her exploration and exploitation of lens-based images disseminated via printed matter are at the heart of this project.

In the framework of Berlin Art Week, Persons Projects is delighted to present the first solo exhibition of young Polish painter Marcin Jasik, last year’s winner of the international STRABAG Award of Recognition.

For her upcoming solo exhibition at O—Overgaden, Rettl is producing an entirely new painting series focused around early 20th-century modernism in her region of origin: between Austria, Slovenia, and Italy. Thus investigating the figures depicted during the rise of fascism in central Europe, her canvases contain lean, distorted bodies in various states of agitation trying to meet a new industrial and capitalist world order, presented as a cabinet of corpses crawling on all surfaces and amid the spaces of O—Overgaden’s upper floor’s main spaces.

DURATION explores the potentials of long-term collaborations and is orientated around an existing work by Spooner titled Maggie’s Solo, a room-size projection of a dance work to camera. Shot in 2021, the work is focused on Spooner’s longest-term collaborator, dancer Maggie Segale. For DURATION, Maggie’s Solo will be screened for eight weeks, serving as a study, a tool, and a backdrop against which new works and conversations will be researched and developed live: Dancer Maggie Segale runs a week-long workshop to evolve Maggie’s Solo into a new dance work; typographer Will Holder scores Maggie’s Solo’s audio feed; and Cally Spooner workshops an immersive soundtrack with a group of local children. In the O-Room, reference material by historical artists, choreographers and filmmakers is made available, screened, and exhibited; and a series of talks on collaboration, care, and duration is programmed in collaboration with the University of Copenhagen.

Kunsthall Oslo is proud to present 4 artists consecutively from 8 September to 29 October as the Autumn Exhibition.

As a prelude to Danish artist Rasmus Myrup’s upcoming grand-scale commission at the Gothenburg International Biennial for Contemporary Art (GIBCA) opening in September 2023, the queer sculptor and renegade-naturalist mythmaker creates a visually dense presentation for O—Overgaden that spans faux runestones, an assortment of holes, a pine chandelier, thirst trap paintings, and other paraphernalia.

Etage Projects is pleased to present Performance Anxiety, a solo exhibition by Soft Baroque. This marks the design duo´s third solo show with Etage Projects and the presentation of three new collections – Toothpick, Power Carved and Diet Wood. The title Performance Anxiety refers to how objects are expected to be high-performance. They put on a performance through their surface and we are expected to perform with our stuff for one another.

NEVVEN is glad to present I Am Still Me by artist Shafei Xia. A world which is grounded first and foremost on a sense of humour, comicality and playfulness which would be reductive to define as idiosyncratic. It is a realm of the absurd, where animals and humans are interchangeable and where symbology and reality mix so deeply that there is no point in trying to understand where reality and intimate personal narration start, and jokes and the absurd begin.

In a new solo exhibition, Jessie Kleemann examines with equal parts humor and tragedy how Greenlandic identity, culture and nature change over time. For three decades, Kleemann has been a significant figure on the contemporary art scene with her original approach to video art, experimental theater and performance art. Her art is based on the complex relationships between Greenland, where she was born and raised - and Denmark, where she lives today.

Peder Lund is honored to announce that the gallery will take part in the centennial celebration of the inimitable American artist Ellsworth Kelly (1923-2015). With the upcoming exhibition “Ellsworth Kelly: Postcards”, Peder Lund will present an exclusive selection of the artist’s beloved and important production of postcard collages.

On what would have been the artist’s 100th birthday, a year-long celebration will showcase the artist’s indelible legacy. This collaborative event includes exhibitions at several museums and galleries across the U.S. and Europe.

i8 Grandi is pleased to announce Cast of Mind, a year-long exhibition by B. Ingrid Olson. The artist’s show opens 20 January, 2023 and will be on view until 20 December 2023. Spanning far longer than traditional museum or gallery shows, i8 Grandi represents a new model for exhibitions. The programming focuses on concepts of space and time, and the presentations will evolve while on view. The sustained duration of the annual format allows artists to consider how time affects their work, and the fluidity encourages audiences to revisit the changing installations.

The exhibition ROCKS OF GREENLAND – KALAALLIT NUNAAT ROCKS invites the public to join the wonderful journey of the precious materials – from when they are mined in the mines to when they sparkle as jewellery or works of art in the exhibition's showcases.

Den Mindste Sten with visual artist Cathrine Raben Davidsen sets a new framework for the meeting between people in a sensuous installation that harkens back to the symbols and teachings of alchemy.

This year marks forty years since Galleri Susanne Ottesen first opened in Store Kongensgade. They are celebrating this with a wide-ranging exhibition that brings together Danish and international artists who across four decades have presented solo exhibitions at the gallery, and left their mark on the Danish art scene.
