Symposium: Re-thinking and Re-positioning Nordic Modernism

Dato: 25.09.2024

Beskrivelse

Northern light, deep forests, and psychological existentialism may be the essence of Nordic Art. The appeal of the “Nordic“ has been a recurrent phenomenon in art since at least Allaert van Everdingen´s 17th century depictions of Scandinavian landscapes, through the “Nordic Golden Age” of late 19th century art until the Nordic wave in contemporary art of the 1990s. Symptomatically, Nordic art is, in a global context, to a large extent associated with a few canonical names of late 19th century art, such as Edvard Munch, August Strindberg, Helene Schjerfbeck, Vilhelm Hammersøi - Akseli Gallen-Kallela and Asger Jorn being a 20th century exception. This has been fostered through a vast number of exhibitions focusing on these artists, or in broader survey exhibitions including these artists in explorations of an idea of the Nordic.

However, in recent years there has been several exhibitions broadening the scope of Nordic art on the international art scene, among others Hilma af Klint and and Sonja Ferlov Mancoba. Yet, in the context of global art history, post-colonialism, multiculturalism and de-canonization, does it make sense to speak of Nordic Art? If so, what constitutes the Nordic, and what makes it relevant to the world of today?

Furthermore, how should museums in the Nordic region deal with their own art history in a global context? What stories should and could be told? And, maybe most significantly, how can the canon of Nordic art in a global context be broadened and is such an undertaking at all relevant?
