Art Calendar

Thula Gallery is pleased to present Elín Elísabet (1992) is a visual artist based in Iceland. With a background in illustration, she currently mostly makes oil paintings infused with fragments of poetry. Themes of belonging, generational history, rurality and ecology are prominent in her artwork.

Andersen's is pleased to present the group show "If one could read them, one would know everything" featuring Kaye Donachie, Pati Hill, Melanie Kitti, Joanna Piotrowska, Maaike Schoorel and Nicole Wermers.

Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s The Lady in the Looking-Glass: A Reflection, the exhibition !If one could read them, one would know everything" explores the shifting boundaries between identity and perception. Woolf’s story examines the tension between appearance and reality, showing how outward details invite speculation while inner life remains inaccessible. Through a mirror, an observer projects depth, emotion, and meaning onto an absent woman, only for these fantasies to collapse when reality is revealed as empty and indifferent. The mirror becomes a device that exposes the gap between imagination and truth, and questions whether inner identity can ever truly be known.

The exhibition takes up these questions by asking how both outer presence and inner experience might be conveyed. Can a portrait exist when its subject remains partially unseen? Moving beyond visual likeness, the works approach portraiture through traces, gestures, atmospheres, and points of view. Like Woolf’s story, the exhibition is shaped by absence and fragments, suggesting that what we perceive of others is always mediated by imagination, and that identity may be less something revealed than something continually projected.

The exhibition is curated by Naja Bak Randtorp.

Alice Folker is proud to present Anna Stahn's series of works consisting of letter sculptures, reliefs, and leporellos revolving around exchanges, friendships, and nostalgia.

The letter in the envelope, addressed to a loved one or a friend, is an outdated technology which - even though postal systems in many places are being replaced by digitalized processes - we still recognize as something particularly intimate. Perhaps only for a few more generations, before the icon fades away or transforms into a memory of a slower time.

Gallery Seinsland Berliner is proud to present an exhibition of selected works by Linnéa Sjöberg.

Alice Folker is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Ragnhild May. Here is an excerpt from the artist:

My morning begins with one of two possible rituals. Option one is to be awakened by the phrase, "Mom, I want milk," shouted by my three-year-old. Option two is that the phrase, "more real than reality itself," mixes in with the dream.

Alice Folker is proud to present a solo exhibition by Sophie Z.S. Suaning. Here is an excerpt by the artist:

CARNE VALE

It is a cold and white February morning, Shrove Sunday.
I am working on finishing the paintings for Seende.
My eyes are tired of seeing and my lips are worn from kissing.

I drive toward the ancient passage grave by Sulkendrup Mill close to my studio. On the radio they're reading from Paul’s Epistles and the blind man regains his sight. They talk about carnival and the fast. Carne vale means “farewell to the meat,” they say. I am snow-blind. My eyes dart around in the white and the air is thick with shimmery confetti. The mound of the passage grave is covered by a thick layer of snow, and the hole into the base is a large black eye.

Gallery Gudmundsdottir presents Nacht, a solo exhibition by Anna Júlía Friðbjörnsdóttir, unfolding across the gallery space at Joachimst and in dialogue with Träume an extension of the exhibition at the Bunker in Linienstrasse.

Dorothée Nilsson Gallery is pleased to present (Working Title) Balance, a group exhibition with Jenny Brockmann, Nuria Fuster, Jenny Magnusson, Martin Mlecko, and Henrik Strömberg. The pull and the push. The rush into the festive season, followed by the lull at the beginning of the year. Is it spring yet, can we come out of hibernation? (Working Title) Balance emerged from a longing, a desire, a subdued call to action. The exhibition brings together works in different media and materials: hanging, leaning, teetering, pressed. How do we begin? With a working title.

ISCA gallery is delighted to present The Weight of Water, a solo exhibition by Martine Poppe featuring a new series of paintings exploring water as a central motif.

Water is never neutral. It gathers, presses, and exceeds its edges. It holds memory and reshapes what contains it. In The Weight of Water, Martine Poppe approaches water as both subject and structure - shifting, unstable, re-organising ground, perception, and scale.

In her fifth solo exhibition at Galerie Nordenhake, Sofia Hultén presents new kinetic sculptures, a series of works on paper, and two groups of new sculptures. The title draws on an expression from her hometown of Birmingham: While the term usually refers to a stubborn or mentally rigid person, the artist knows it from her youth, when it was colloquially used to describe someone who could consume drugs without any noticeable physical consequences. In her practice, linguistic ambiguities intersect with material narratives, generating new meanings through their friction.

Eighteen is pleased to present Alicia McCarthy's solo exhibition.

Alicia McCarthy’s abstract and colourful compositions instantly capture the viewer’s attention. From afar, the use of repeated geometric patterns recalls the Op Art of the 1960s. A closer look yet reveals that these optical effects aren’t engineered and calculated by machines with mathematical precision, but the result of a spontaneous gesture. McCarthy’s modular blocks of colours are rather improvised and embodied. By incorporating drips and splashes of colour, she lets her hand run free in her work, boldly embracing vibrant imperfection. Her works are built up from the centre, line by line, with a strong sense of presence.

Palace Enterprise is pleased to present Prelude for a Press, a group show organized and edited by Jesper List Thomsen.

We find Henri Michaux diving “as blood runs in the veins,”[1] uncaring, flawlessly adept, from bed into literature, a poetry that allows even those who can’t swim, let alone dive, to dive deeper, better and more profoundly. This is an articulation of Michaux the writer, happily, buoyantly, venturing into an athleticism that his day-body denies him. And it is here, as an athlete in bed, that he declares love for that which is carried by the imagination, a delirious body reaching rare depths poetically and at sea.

V1 Gallery is pleased to present Neighbours, a solo exhibition by Loji Höskuldsson.

The exhibition originated from the fictional next-door neighbours to Danish furniture designer and architect Finn Juhl. It is a family of four, a mother, a father and their two kids in their early teens. The family holds the aesthetic power within the home, each member shaping it in different ways. Loji Höskuldsson’s process is excruciatingly slow, days and months, stitch by stitch, small and large-scale compositions appear on burlap, giving him ample time to reflect on the subject matter at hand.

Martin Asbæk Gallery is proud to present the exhibition A Colorful Inheritance of My Grandfather by Nicolai Howalt.

Due to a global shift toward digital communication, declining mail volumes, and the modernization of postal services, stamps are rapidly disappearing. In the exhibition A Colorful Inheritance of My Grandfather, Nicolai Howalt explores communication as both material, infrastructure and human practice. Howalt’s starting point is his own grandfather’s stamp collection that was reinterpreted by the artist in a large-scale work, which was acquired by Enigma – Museum of Communication in 2024.

Persons Projects is proud to present a solo exhibition of new works by Finnish artist Riitta Päiväläinen from the Helsinki School. The series, titled Phantasma, was created in the dramatic, isolated landscapes of Iceland and Lapland. Phantasma evokes the fleeting, ghostly presence of her textile installations, capturing ephemeral moments where memory, imagination, and nature converge.

Borch Editions proudly presents Andreas Eriksson's poetic translations of natural environments.

The exhibition presents a group of original prints that reveal the experimental and layered processes behind Andreas Eriksson’s practice. Whether it is paintings, weavings or graphic works, Eriksson first explores the inherent nature of his materials, testing their capacity for making the marks and textures that eventually form his compositions. Once he has achieved a deeper understanding of the materiality of his mediums, it is crucial for his creative process that the final works are created intuitively.

Avlskarl Gallery is proud to present Colour Drenched, Morten Løbner Espersen’s third solo exhibition at the gallery.

The starting point for the exhibition is the cylinder. A familiar shape: simple and almost self-explanatory. However, in its apparent straightforwardness it contains a precision that makes it fundamentally demanding. A shape that reveals even the slightest imbalance.

For Espersen, the cylinder represents a return to something familiar. Not because the cylinder is a classical ceramic archetype, but because its controlled nature invites in chaos. The shape emerged during a period of “artistic frustration”, when the need for simplicity became particularly strong. As Espersen says: “There is a balance, a strength, and a harmony in the cylinder shape. For me it expresses a calmness and a presence.”

We look forward to welcoming you in the gallery for the opening of Olav Christopher Jenssen’s solo exhibition Archaeology on Friday 20 March.

Olav Christopher Jenssen (b. 1954 Sortland, Norway) lives and works between Lya, Sweden and Berlin, Germany. He was appointed professor at Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg i 1996, and has since 2007 held a professorship at Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig in Germany. He is represented in important public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Astrup Fearnley Museum among others.

Galleri Magnus Karlsson is pleased to announce Richard Johansson’s tenth solo exhibition at the gallery. The exhibition In the Shadows of Myself presents a series of eighteen sculptures in linseed oil-burnt cast iron.

Throughout his artistic career, Richard Johansson has been passionate about unpretentious and straightforward visual storytelling. He has lovingly drawn inspiration from the direct appeal and unadorned language of folk art. Echoes of this tradition can often be seen in his own art, which encompasses a variety of techniques and materials. Over the years, he has moved freely between sculpture, painting and drawing, always with a deep-rooted sense of craftsmanship and materiality.

Matteo Cantarella is pleased to present 𝘋𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, a solo exhibition by Sanna Helena Berger (b. 1983, Sweden). The exhibition marks the first solo presentation of Berger's work in Denmark and first show with the gallery.

The difference is the remainder left after subtracting one value from another. By outlining the positions and dimensions of previously exhibited artworks in the gallery, Berger subtracts these formal positions from the space - declaring the vacant as potential. Her work's size-specificity is thus determined by this negative space - absence is inverted into presence. The outlined lack of work and th e exhibited work is equalised as value - a value not determined by materiality. Lack becomes a formal position on par with addition.

Sanna Helena Berger works with site- and situation-specific installations informed and influenced by critical theory, philosophy and analysis. Her extensive writing acts not only as a coupling discourse to the exhibition, but presents the exhibition as an extension of her writing—material and theory lands on par. Her auto-didactic position manifests as a reflexive discipline, particularly in her writing, where Berger melange auto-biography with theory, utilising language both as method and topic, set in a non-disciplined form. The voice oscillates between the empirical and observed, leaving a self unpolished, openly inadequate - as with her material works, embracing lack, showing dilemma; opposing a final finish.

Galerie Forsblom is proud to present the works of J.P Köykkä in his solo exhibition, Wobbly Table.

Rhythm lies at the core of J.P Köykkä’s paintings. In the studio, he seeks to attune himself to an intuitive visual language that balances harmony with intense dynamism, creating compositions that hover mischievously between stability and play. This delicate equilibrium allows the canvas to breathe, as forms seem to settle into place with apparent spontaneity. Diverse elements enter into dialogue – meeting and parting, resting alongside one another, or darting off in divergent directions. Though his works project a sense of compositional control, they are invariably animated by a subtle, humorous glint.

Köykkä began his artistic career as a graffiti artist, and he often still paints graffiti before heading to the studio – as a way of entering the right state of mind. Traces of street culture remain discernible in his canvases, even if they are not consciously foregrounded. Across his oeuvre, diverse artistic traditions intersect and overlap; his modes of expression and material handling shift fluidly from one register to another.

Galerie Anhava is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Kari Vehosalo titled Dream of Fire.

Kari Vehosalo‘s exhibition Dream of Fire is born as a reflection of the liminality, disconnectedness and informational uncertainty that characterize our age. In his paintings, our existence is disassembled, veiled in dark gauze, and reassembled within the layers of Vehosalo’s supremely skillful brushwork, deep philosophical thinking and art-historical imagery, to reflect our shared reality back at us. The motivating force behind the works is empathy, the possibility of restoring genuine connection with others, a way of bridging the chasms and indifference that divide us.

Galerie Forsblom is proud to present the works of Maiju Salmenkivi in her solo exhibition, Trust.

Organic, whirling brushstrokes infuse Maiju Salmenkivi’s paintings with a fairy-tale atmosphere. Interweaving fantasy and reality, her canvases pulse with an abundance of dreamlike detail. Although their underlying tone is one of quiet melancholy, fleeting bursts of joy surface throughout. Her distinctive palette is immediately recognizable: luminous greens and yellows entwine with myriad shades of pink. While her compositions evoke landscapes, they do not depict specific places. Instead, Salmenkivi turns inward, painting landscapes of the mind.

Galerie Forsblom is proud to present the works of Petri Ala-Maunus in a solo exhibition that translates to "World Landscape".

Petri Ala-Maunus’s landscapes revel in extremes and collisions. Within a single painting, a violently raging storm may coexist with balmy vistas bathed in soft sunlight – shifting abruptly from apocalyptic ruin to utopian serenity. What unites his oeuvre is its deliberate excess: a quality that might be described as hyper-landscape. His works overflow with hyperbolic beauty and an overwhelming wealth of detail, through which the artist consciously unsettles the traditions of landscape painting. Nothing modest or subdued holds interest for Ala-Maunus; instead, he is drawn to dystopian–utopian terrains that overturn the conventions and expectations of the genre.

Andréhn-Schiptjenko is pleased to present Dev Dhunsi’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, Unmistakably You.

Unmistakably You at Andréhn-Schiptjenko is an extension of Dhunsi’s concurrently presented solo exhibition, bearing the same title, at Nitja Centre for Contemporary Art in Lillestrøm, Norway. As a foundation for the exhibition lays his recently published photobook Mixed (2026), published by SPBH Editions / Mack Books. The project was awarded the 2024 Nordic Photobook Award.

Annika Nuttall Gallery is proud to present Julie Koldby in her solo exhibition, Hot interior.

Lagune Ouest is proud to present Laura Guiseppi's solo exhibition, Sticky Tongue.

Tongue! A sticky tongue infected with saliva and drool, anger and frustration, systems that resist, the lack of the right language. Here, it appears systematised with sharp edges and abject stuff like hair, dust and nails moulded into the surface. Bits and pieces you try to hide away but that continuously reappear no matter how much you twist, shape and turn your tongue. Kissing teeth.

Isaak Fangel is proud to present a solo exhibition by Halfdan Venlov.

Helsinki Contemporary is proud to present paintings by Jon Koko (Sweden), Marie Rud Rosenzweig (Denmark), and Marlon Wobst (Germany) in the group exhibition Hard Cut.

All three artists construct multi-layered paintings that play with the flatness of the picture plane in distinctive ways. Often embracing narrativity, they explore the human condition through depictions of landscapes, objects, or architecture in styles that verge on abstraction.

Þula is proud to present Happenstance, a solo exhibition by Guðmundur Thoroddsen.

The exhibition's paintings tell a seamless story that invites the viewer to interpret it after their own heart. Much like the occurrences in poetry, sentences and alliteration come together in colors and forms that Guðmundur records on canvas with effortless brushstrokes and the sharp drawing of oil-sticks. The paintings are not calculated; they are fluid and impulsive, where one thing leads to another and ultimately come together in perfect balance. This playful approach by Guðmundur to painting yields an abstract experience that can be likened to nature, where indeterminate forms, colors, and textures are woven together, speaking directly to human emotions.

Galleri Nicolai Wallner is pleased to present ‘The Mantis Muse’ by David Shrigley, for the first time outside of the UK.

For this exhibition, a giant praying mantis sculpture by David Shrigley stretches into the tall ceilings, its elegant arms and charming smile bringing an unmistakable playfulness into the white cube. Made from fiberglass and steel with an animatronic head, The Mantis Muse stands at three meters tall.

BERG is proud to present the works of Þórdís Erla Zoëga in her solo exhibition, Domestic Sci-fi.

In her exhibition, Þórdís Erla Zoëga focuses on the shaping forces of our time, where natural processes are confronted with artificial intelligence and the ever-accelerating technological developments of today. It sheds light on our current period of transformation, where the domestic and technological merge and a new kind of reality takes shape.

BERG Contemporary is pleased to present the exhibition data-verse by Ryoji Ikeda.

In his data-verse (2019-2020), Ryoji Ikeda is driven by scientific facts, which he extracts from his studies of quantum physics and mathematical theories. According to the artist, it is the result of an accumulation of research gathered over the course of sixteen years.

The work stems from Ikeda's yearning to understand what nature is and its scientific principles. Therefore, the building blocks of his visuals are sourced from particle physics, cosmology, astrophysics, and extensive data sets from institutions such as NASA, CERN, and The Human Genome Project. Understanding concepts such as galactic coordinates, the structure of protein and DNA, and deciphering their information from scratch became the foundation of the work.

… 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.
