From David Zwirner:
When we recorded this episode in New York earlier this month with the artists Mamma Andersson and Jockum Nordström, who have been together for more than three decades, the situation in this city was very different.

Since then, Andersson’s exhibition at our New York gallery, The Lost Paradise, was cut short due to the escalating spread of COVID-19, and our spaces have closed temporarily worldwide.

From press release:

Welcome to a press preview Tuesday June 9 at 9.30–11 pm. The exhibition opens to the public the same day at 11 pm.
Skissernas Museum presents Jockum Nordström, one of Sweden’s most internationally acclaimed artists. Without Lantern is Nordström’s first solo exhibition at a Swedish art institution since 2005. And it is the first time his shadow play installation The Anchor Hits the Sand is shown in Sweden.

Interestingly, contemporary artists in this age of digitalisation and social media are increasingly focusing again on drawing. This is perhaps a coincidence considering that the medium is generally regarded as the most direct of all forms of artistic expression. With its intimate appeal, its narrative as well as subjective inquisitive potentials, the gestures of drawing exert a fascination that is now appears more relevant than ever.

Tomorrow Wednesday 25.4 at 6 pm at the Royal Palace!

Opening : Friday, March 30, 6 PM

On the occasion of the gallery’s 25th anniversary, David Zwirner will present a special exhibition celebrating the artists who have shaped the gallery’s program since its founding in 1993.

Uppsala Konstmuseum is exhibiting a selection of prints from their own collection. Besides Jockum Nordström, the exhibition also includes artists such as Niki de Saint Phalle, Friedensreich Hundertwassers, Helen Frankenthaler that belonged to The New York School, American pop art by Jasper Johns as well as a group of radical Swedish artists of the 60s and 70s such as Carl Johan De Geer, Marie-Louise Ekman, Lena Svedberg and Lars Hillersberg.

It was in 1996 that collectors Florence and Daniel Guerlain created their contemporary art foundation at Mesnuls, southwest of Paris, which staged thematic exhibitions and organised engraving workshops. In 2004, their interests changed and their support was redirected to promoting contemporary drawing. In 2006 they established a prize that was awarded for the first time the following year. The biggest prize awarded for contemporary drawing, this year it celebrated its tenth anniversary.

2017 is the 30-year anniversary of the Beckers Art Award. This will be presented in a commemorative exhibition where all former winners of the award will participate alongside with this year’s winner, Anna Camner. Beckers Art award was established in 1987 and has since then proven to have a remarkable ability to identify young talent on the brink of a breakthrough in their careers. The winner is awarded a grant, which from this year has been raised from 150 000 to 200 000 SEK, and a solo exhibition that has, since 2001, been arranged and held in collaboration with Färgfabriken.

One day, I found a small painting by the shamefully underappreciated artist Lennart Rohde at an online auction. This painting caught my attention. Upon seeing this combination of information, which had so obviously not been tested for functionality. I doubled over with laughter and found the title to this exhibition. Ej funktionstestad (Untested).

From Press Release:
The National Gallery of Iceland begins its exhibition program in the new year with an exhibition that brings together four contemporary artists: Gauthier Hubert (1967), Chantal Joffe (1969), Jockum Nordström (1963) and Tumi Magnússon (1957). All four center their work on the human being itself. The presentation of their work revolves around art itself and its history, both ancient and modern, and they take quite disparate approaches to historical points of departure.

The Drawing Now exhibition provides an up-to-date survey of drawing, painting and illustration in contemporary art. It showcases the viewpoints of around 35 international artists who collectively represent contemporary drawing and who, individually, are taking it in a direction of their own. Drawing Now sheds light on the diversity of issues that artists articulate with the aid of drawing, and shows drawing in its exciting dimensions and manifestations.

The month of November will be enlightened by five artists from Northern Europe and Canada : using different medias, such as drawing, collage, engraving or textile design, each in their own way bring forth a peculiar world, criss-crossed by a nordic sensitivity. Natural and urban environment, relationship and communication are reccurrent themes in their work.

Picture book or readingbook- pictures tell and leads us into new or familiar worlds. Children’s books are an own artistic genre. They evoke memories and feelings of the majority of all generations. In One two three – we remember and recognize different artists´original works , but also discover new children’s book of pictures and artistic expression.

From Press Release:
This major survey of work by Swedish artist Jockum Nordström (b.1963) brings together collages, graphite drawings and architectural sculptures, representing the breadth of his work from the 1990s to the most recent pieces made especially for the exhibition. The title All I have Learned and Forgotten Again harks back to the wisdom and magic of childhood, a lament of the lost innocence that gives way to the demands of an adult world.

Galleri Magnus Karlsson is pleased to announce a group exhibition that will be on display throughout the summer. In conjunction with the inauguration of Nationalmuseum’s temporary space with the exhibition Carl Larsson - Friends and Enemies in our building (The Royal Academy of Fine Arts), we will show Time Waits for Us .

From Press Release: (in swedish)
Galleri Magnus Karlsson har glädjen att presentera utställningen Utan Söm och Socka på Hellvi Kännungs, Gotland. Hellvi Kännungs är galleriets projektrum sommartid och öppnade förra året med utställningen Pudelns Hjärna sammanställd av Jens Fänge. Tanken med projektrummet är att skapa förutsättningar för oväntade möten och uppmuntra nya samarbeten och idéer.

Galleri Magnus Karlsson is pleased to present Jockum Nordström’s fifth solo exhibition at the gallery. It is the first major presentation in Sweden since the very popular ”A stick in the wood” at the Moderna Museet 2005
