Asger Harbou Gjerdevik
In Motion 15 Aug - 26 Sep 2025 Entering visual artist Asger Harbou Gjerdevik’s solo exhibition is like walking down a winding path, through a net of tightly woven references that alternate between strangeness and familiarity, impulsivity and reflexion, seriousness and humour, simplicity and complexity, brightness and pastel. Through repetitions in colours, patterns, and symbols, Gjerdevik creates a... Read more -
Jóhan Martin Christiansen
GRACE 4 Apr - 12 Jun 2025 Jóhan Martin Christiansen (b. 1987, the Faroe Islands) is a visual artist educated with an MFA from Malmö Art Academy and has since completed the interdisciplinary course Of Public Interest at the Royal Institute of Fine Arts in Stockholm. In 2023 Christiansen founded the artist-run project space Bonne Espérance.
His works span across various media such as installation, plaster reliefs, printmaking and video and often explore questions related to materiality: How do we handle a material and how are materials handled within a specific context - physically, emotionally, and philosophically? In the materiality, forms and titles of the pieces, small deltas of meanings and connotations often appear referring to natural and constructed environments, urban spaces and situations, language and translation, queer body experiences as well as the baroque and pop music.
Christiansen's works are represented at both private and public collections, including Danish Art Foundation, National Gallery of the Faroe Islands, and Nuuk Art Museum. In 2021, he received the talent award from Carl Nielsen and Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen and in 2024, he received the three year grant from The Faroese Culture Foundation. Read more -
Liva Jo Juul Streich
traces 4 Apr - 12 Jun 2025 Liva Jo Juul Streich (b.1999, Denmark) is a student at Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna. She mainly works with painting and moves in a field between figuration and abstraction. In her works, she creates narratives and builds scenes where the being and feeling of humanity is explored through motifs of ambiguity, and where landscapes become alive, while human silhouettes remain faceless, as in a dream where the subject never really attaches to the concreteness of reality.
Her recent exhibitions include a solo show at Skitsehandlen, Faaborg (2024) and group exhibitions at V1 Gallery, Copenhagen (2024), Bacio, Bern (2024), FRMD, London (2024), Zink, Vienna (2024), Rodløs Kunst, Copenhagen (2023), Café Camüs, Vienna (2023), and Rodløs Kunst, Copenhagen (2022).

Kitching works with installations, paintings, sculptures, and works on paper. With a poetic exploration of environment and natural phenomena, Kitching offers curious reflections on the concepts of space and reality.
