The North Can Do More Than Design

Der Norden kann mehr als Design

During Stockholm Art Week, the Swedish capital showcases itself as a leading Nordic art destination. Highlights include textile sculptures by Diana Orving at Millesgården Museum, two concurrent art fairs—the independent Supermarket and the 20th edition of Market Art Fair—and numerous gallery exhibitions, artist talks, and studio visits. The Market Art Fair features 54 booths and over 150 artists, with a focus on Nordic positions, including works by Ólafur Elíasson and the duo Inka & Niclas. The city's art scene is growing, with many new galleries opening and strong private institutions like Bonniers Konsthall and Fotografiska participating.

How Andrea Alvarez’s Long-Overdue Survey on Contemporary Latinx Art at Buffalo AKG Art Museum Came to Be

The Buffalo AKG Art Museum has opened "Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way," the first major institutional survey of contemporary Latinx painting in the United States. Curated by Andrea Alvarez, the exhibition features 58 living artists in an intergenerational dialogue, spanning an entire museum floor with seven thematic groupings. Alvarez conducted extensive studio visits across the U.S. and Puerto Rico over an unusually long research period, focusing solely on painting to establish a clear curatorial lens while reflecting the diversity of the Latino diaspora.
