Saskia Neuman Gallery (SE)

Saskia Neuman Gallery is the latest addition to Stockholm’s vibrant art scene. Founded in 2022 by Saskia Neuman, the gallery represents artists based in both the Nordics and internationally. Neuman has a great interest and passion for the other, creating a home for both very established as well as lesser-known artists. The exhibition program reflects a strong focus on artists in their early and mid-career, often presenting artists who previously haven’t exhibited in Sweden.

Curated for
CHART

For CHART 2023, Saskia Neuman Gallery’s presentation will explore an intricate history of the past, the reality of the present, and the infinite possibilities of the future interpreted through the artistic practices of two artists: Mark Dion and Josef Jägnefält. The booth presentation will include paintings by Josef Jägnefält and drawings and prints as well as two sculptures by Mark Dion.

Josef Jägnefält (SE)

Josef Jägnefält's practice is rooted in the history and tradition of painting. His process is activated by observations of the present and the accumulation of documents and traces left behind. The subjects of his work are usually remnants of how we move through the world,objects and spaces - often featuring outdated memorabilia from another time that highlights today’s current dystopias.

Josef Jägnefält (b. 1984; Gothenburg; SE) is a Swedish artist based in Stockholm (SE). Recent exhibitions of his work include the Royal Academy of Arts Stockholm, Stockholm (SE); Museum of Visual Arts, Bildmuseet Umeå, Umeå (SE); Salon 8, Hamburg (DE).

Mark Dion (US)

Mark Dion’s work examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history, knowledge, and the natural world. Appropriating archaeological, field ecology and other scientific methods of collecting, ordering, and exhibiting objects, Dion creates works that question the distinctions between ‘objective’ (‘rational’) scientific methods and ‘subjective’ (‘irrational’) influences. By locating the roots of environmental politics and public policy in the construction of knowledge about nature, Mark Dion questions the objectivity and authoritative role of the scientific voice in contemporary society, tracking how pseudo-science, social agendas and ideology creep into public discourse and knowledge production

Mark Dion (b.1961, New Bedford; US) is an American artist based in Copake, New York (US). His work has been presented in gallery shows, as public works of art and as part of major exhibitions that include Miami Art Museum, Miami (US); MoMA - Museum of Modern Art, New York (US); Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Ridgefield (US); Tate Modern, London (UK); British Museum of Natural History, London (UK).
