Cecilia Hillström Gallery
Olivia Pettersson Fleur: Atomic Snapshot
Stockholm
Sweden
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.

BERG Contemporary
Pablo Jansana: From One Day to the Next
Reykjavik
Iceland
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.

Helsinki

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.

Galerie Forsblom
Stig Baumgartner: Things Falling Into Place
Helsinki
Finland
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!

Lotta Antonsson: Blue (Shell for You)
Berlin

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.

Anna Rettl: Laocoön Loop
Copenhagen
Denmark
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.

Cally Spooner with collaborators: Duration
Copenhagen

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.

Shafei Xia: I Am Still Me
Göteborg
Sweden
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.

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.
