Stockholm's Market Art Fair wants to prove the 'periphery is now essential'

The 20th edition of Stockholm's Market Art Fair for Modern and contemporary art opens in a new waterfront venue at Magasin 9 in the Frihamnen docks area, running until 26 April. This year, 54 dealers—mostly from the Nordics—are joined by international galleries from the US and UK, including Anthony Wilkinson gallery (London) and albertz benda (New York). The fair expanded its reach last year by opening applications to galleries without existing Nordic ties. Notable presentations include new works by Ólafur Elíasson (i8 gallery, Iceland), dystopian paintings by Munan Øvrelid (Galleri Haaken, Oslo), and textile works by Petra Lindholm (Magnus Karlsson gallery). Prices range from SEK 28,000 to €195,000, with strong early sales reported.

Olafur Eliasson Uses Art and Sound to Raise Climate Awareness in Utah

Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson has created a new installation in Utah that combines art and sound to raise awareness about climate change. Drawing on his childhood experiences in Iceland and Denmark, the work uses natural elements and sensory engagement to connect viewers with environmental issues. The piece is part of a broader effort by the artist to use immersive, site-specific art to provoke reflection on humanity's relationship with the planet.
