Collectors Agenda

In the Studio Nikita Kadan, Kyiv

The past and the present collide in the works of Nikita Kadan. His works reflect the historical paradoxes and conflicts of collective memory and trauma in Ukraine, responding to the ongoing war with Russia.

In the Studio Ovidiu Anton, Vienna

He thinks about the movement in the public space and its delimitations, possibly hailing from his experience growing up in Rumania in the 1980s. He then uses his formal language to work out his ideas, using his favourite material: wood.

In the Studio Jeremy Shaw, Berlin

Canadian artist Jeremy Shaw employs the aesthetics of documentary film and the language of alternative cultures to craft immersive audio-visual narratives and object-based installations.

Collector Stories Sanna-Mari Jäntti, Helsinki

With the initiative to establish a Guggenheim museum, the city of Helsinki has undertaken yet another step to raise its profile among an international art scene that could benefit the entire Nordic region. We met Sanna-Mari Jäntti, who has played a crucial role in the Guggenheim Helsinki project (that unfortunately has been discontinued), to talk with her about the initial challenges of the project, how David beat Goliath in the world’s largest architectural competition, and how doing it the “Finnish way” made all the difference.

Heidi Harsieber (b. 1948) is regarded as one of the most influential Austrian photographers of recent decades and is an important representative of the Austrian feminist avant-garde. The diversity and variety of her documented themes are an expression of her open-minded spirit. The exhibition at Landesgalerie Niederösterreich brings together a fine selection of her diverse thematic series of works, including architecture, fashion, and portraits. On display are photographs of hospitals, the Life Ball in Vienna, and large-scale industrial machinery.

Beyond mere chronology and style histories, the exhibition The World of Tomorrow Will Have Been Another Present at traces narratives in the mumok collection of classical modernism that resonate to the present day. The departure point is a form of speculation firmly anchored in temporality—a temporality with circular tendencies.

Nordic Notes

Elina Brotherus, Helsinki
Finnish photographer Elina Brotherus deals with her own biography, the landscape genre, and art history in her photographs and films. Great sensitivity, formal mastery, and accomplished perfectionism characterize her visual language. There are many possibilities for the viewer to associate him- or herself with her photographs.
