North by New York: New Nordic Art

Описание: North by New York: New Nordic Art, a focused survey of contemporary Scandinavian art, opened at Scandinavia House on April 14, 2011. Encompassing a wide range of media—including performance, video, and installation art, as well as painting, drawing, and photography—the exhibition revealed a multiplicity and complexity of content and form that undermined the widely held notion of a homogeneous Scandinavian society. Curated by internationally renowned scholar and critic Robert Storr, with art historian and independent curator Francesca Pietropaolo, North by New York featured works by established leaders of contemporary Nordic art, such as Per Kirkeby and Cecilia Edefalk, as well as mid-career and emerging artists, including Marte Aas, Libia Castro and Ólafur Ólafsson, Sara-Vide Ericson, Petri Sirviö and Mieskuoro Huutajat (Screaming Men’s Choir), Henrik Lund Jørgensen, Tal R, Gunnel Wåhlstrand, and Saana Wang, among others.
