Collectors Agenda

In the Studio Lena Göbel, Vienna

Lena Göbel lets her rural roots pervade her art. Her motives are nature, the environment and the people close to her; formally too, she translates country life into her work. For her woodcuts she uses printing posts from pearwood or spruce, and the print itself seems almost archaic in its simplicity.

In the Studio Max Freund, Vienna

In his work, figurative painting meets abstract shapes, and both are equally important to him. His inspirations come from music and literature, as he translates their rhythms into art.

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.

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.

Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz will be closed to traffic and will become a meeting point, a stage and a place for “Monuments of the Future” for these days.

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

Tal R, Copenhagen
At first glance Tal R’s exuberant colorful paintings may give the false impression of being childishly simple. Looking closer, a subtle complexity emerges from his work. What appeared joyful and playful suddenly draws the viewer into a world of myths and darker themes.
