Wilson Saplana Gallery (DK)
It is Wilson Saplana's mission to exhibit visionary artists and present high-quality experimental exhibitions. Working from the method of artistic development, the gallery has shown a strong ability to spot younger artistic talents and support their professional artistic careers. The gallery is international both in its way of working and thinking and values a diverse program. The represented artists work with multiple media, are from different nationalities and are not tied to one generation. The gallery was founded in January 2022 by gallerist Christina Wilson, art advisor and former owner of Gallery Christina Wilson (2000-2012), and curator Nanna Saplana.

At Wilson Saplana, five artists are presented to explore how values are negotiated and how power and economy are made visible. Through sculpture, photography, and painting, abstract structures are made visible, making them possible to understand and discuss. Inuuteq Storch addresses the colonial encounter between Denmark and the Inuit, as well as the relationship between Christianity, state, and spirituality. Sophie Calle examines the boundaries of privacy in an economically governed reality. Jens Settergren depicts the loss of national identity in the age of digitalization, while Hannah Heilmann and Ida Thorhauge point toward care, community, and slowness as hopeful alternatives.
