BORCH Editions is pleased to present "Paradise" by Alexander Tovborg.

Dante Alighieri’s "Divine Comedy" from 1320 has been a close companion in Alexander Tovborg’s life and artistic practice. The "Paradise" portfolio of 33 etchings completes Tovborg’s print project for Dante’s "Divine Comedy", which in total includes 92 prints.

In Tovborg’s "Paradise", figures emerge into the light from the darkness of outer space. The motifs radiate from the black paper in delicate and evocative colours, reflecting Dante’s upward journey in space, detached from life on earth. With the same ease as Dante’s ascension into astronomical space, Tovborg depicts the souls Dante meets on his path towards God.

Galleri Magnus Karlsson is pleased to present Carl Hammoud’s seventh solo exhibition at the gallery 'A Way Not to Explore the Past, But to Manipulate the Present'.

The exhibition presents new paintings and drawings with an intentionally rich variety of motifs, such as landscapes, interiors, and still lifes. The new works are sourced from Hammoud’s own snapshots, found photographs, illuminated still lifes, and digital collages.

The exhibition’s lengthy title is intended to both mislead and invite deeper interpretation. The word ”manipulate” can refer to how one masters something by hand, but also to the cognitive influence on a person or an event.

Over the years, Hammoud’s artistic practice has consistently explored the built-in uncertainty of images by challenging our understanding of them while exploring the use of titles, perspectives and visual perception. The works, which are constructed with a kind of duality, should always be open to more than one interpretation.

Andersen’s is pleased to present Martin Brandt Hansen’s exhibition Hyperborea, the artist’s second exhibition at the gallery.

According to the ancient Greeks, Hyperborea lay in a distant, northern paradise – a land of eternal sun, without disease, old age or sorrow. Here lived the Hyperboreans, a peaceful and happy people who worshipped Apollo (the god of light and the arts) and lived in harmony with nature.

Galleri Susanne Ottesen is pleased to present Martin Eriks Andersen’s solo exhibition 'Wege, Lauf und Bahn'. The exhibition displays a new series of wall-hung silver carpets, sculptures and a musical installation. Across these works, Andersen continues his exploration of circulation and re-circulation of materials, forms and earlier pieces.

Approaching visual art as a mode of understanding, experienced through a synthesis of body, intellect and sight, Andersen works at the threshold of the recognisable. His pieces reveal shifting traces and unexpected openings, inviting viewers to follow their paths or simply allow themselves to be carried along.

Persons Projects is proud to present Zofia Kulik’s solo exhibition "Written in Her Own Hand", which traces the various stages of her artistic emancipation as she discovers her own voice as an independent female artist.

The exhibition also serves as the initial platform for her first monographic book, published by Thames & Hudson, which comprehensively explores Kulik’s extraordinary body of work. The exhibition begins with her most memorable graduate work (1968–1971) and follows her transition into the collaborative duo KwieKulik (1971–1987), formed with her partner Przemysław Kwiek - Ending with a large black-and-white self-portrait depicting her as a queen. Together, these selected works provide a deeper understanding of how Kulik’s individual career developed into what it is today.

Gerdman Gallery is pleased to present ‘The House’, Johanna Bjurström’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. In her recent work, Bjurström treats each painting as a study - catching and reflecting on the inbuilt possibilities of the silence before an act.

In Johanna Bjurström’s recent work she uses her paintings as studies, to catch and reflect on the inbuilt possibilities of the silence before an act. Air cannot be seen, yet sound travels through it, a reminder that we can perceive what is otherwise invisible. Her hunches, and the longing for a work’s tone, shape, surface, and its later inherent sound, become conditions to her practice. The pieces act as silent suggestions of what they might play; touched by a hand or brushed by a streak of wind.

The works present in this exhibition came to life from an urge to depict recurring images she couldn’t get out of her mind. They were translated into fast sketches, almost like an alphabet. Since then, Johanna Bjurström has worked with the distance present in transferring an image into canvas, dealing with a different time, process, and materiality. In these works, she has often replaced oil paint with wood stain, treating the canvas as a porous surface, which breathes and holds spaces of resonance. The movements and rhythms present in the paintings flow with the air which surrounds them, shaping the sound of this room, this house.

Dorothée Nilsson Gallery is happy to present the upcoming solo exhibition Shadow Works, Living the Dream by Martina Hoogland Ivanow.

For her third exhibition at the gallery Swedish artist Martina Hoogland Ivanow is presenting selected images from her new book ’Shadow Works, Living the Dream’ alongside a video piece exploring the balance and imbalance of everyday existence. Working primarily with photography and film, Hoogland Ivanow explores the interplay between filtered light, sound and image. Her work is multi-layered and interspersed, certain themes emerge such as the irrational, the theatrical and how we as humans play with identity. She works mostly with the shadow and says it is often there in her work, in the wrong place or the least expected.

NEVVEN is pleased to present 'It Takes Many Threads to Make a Carpet; in Fairy Tales Carpets Can Fly', a group show featuring works by Astrid Lakso, Ana Manso, Minh Ngọc Nguyễn and Jiawei Zheng.

The exhibition is a four-person show that explores through a multifaceted, multigenerational, and multimedia approach, the concepts of language, translation, and the fertile confusion that can arise from them.
