V1 Gallery is pleased to present

Norden Songs
A group exhibition with Anton Funck, Emma Kohlmann, Frederik Nystrup-Larsen, Klara Lilja, Loji Höskuldsson, Mads Bryld, and Mads Hilbert
Market Art Fair | April 24 – 26, 2026

 

The presentation unfolds through the works of artists who engage with Nordic nature’s rhythms and mysteries — exploring the cycles, symmetries, and porous boundaries between self and environment, and the shifting line between surface and depth. The selected group of artists have all channelled the Nordic landscape in their practice, working across Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland. 

Through collaborations and workshops with the acclaimed Danish restaurant Kadeau, the group has spent time together on the island of Bornholm over the past two summers, engaging in an ongoing conversation about the relationship between nature, being, and contemporary art. The exhibition for Market 2026 seeks to explore ideas of interconnectedness, landscape, nature, and non-duality.

The exhibition draws inspiration from a constellation of thinkers, writers, and artists, including:  Felicia Atkinson (Space As An Instrument); Paolo Cognetti (The Eight Mountains); Johan Eklöf (The Darkness Manifesto); Samantha Harvey (Orbital); Jon Krakauer (Into The Wild); Bruno Latour and Nikolaj Schultz (On the Emergence of an Ecological Class); Andri Snær Magnason (On Time and Water); Timothy Morton (Being Ecological); Olivier Remaud (Thinking Like an Iceberg); Max Richter (In A Landscape); Nikolaj Schultz (Land Sickness); Merlin Sheldrake (Entangled Life); Nan Shepherd (The Living Mountain); David Whyte (Horizons); Emanuele Coccia (The Life of Plants: A Metaphysics of Nature); and Aldo Leopold (Think Like a Mountain). 

While the exhibition reflects on these thinkers and writers, it’s first and foremost meant to be a sensory and intuitive experience. It invites viewers to move beyond the schooled, multi-tasking, information-obsessed, and algorithm-infected mind — and to enter a state of presence. To be here now. If only for a moment.
