The American-Scandinavian Foundation is pleased to announce A Time for Everything: 25 Years of Contemporary Art at Scandinavia House, opening on October 18, 2025. Presented in conjunction with the 25th Anniversary of our cultural center, which has welcomed over 3 million visitors since opening its doors in October 2000, this group exhibition of internationally acclaimed Nordic artists — all of whom have presented work in the Scandinavia House Galleries over the past 25 years — will underscore the vision of the Galleries as a steward for new and established Nordic voices in the contemporary artistic landscape, and for promoting the exchange of ideas and culture between the United States and Nordic region.

Borrowing from the title of the seminal 2004 book by Karl Ove Knausgård, A Time for Everything presents a diverse range of work in a variety of media by celebrated Nordic artists: from Marianne Huotari’s reimagined version of the traditional Finnish textile technique ryijy via glazed stoneware sculptures, to Pekka & Teija Isorättyä’s humorous and delicate play on mechanical and digital engineering and the beauty of machines, to the surreal nature of painter Thordis Adalsteinsdottir’s ultra-flat compositions combining anthropomorphic animals and eccentric non-sensical objects, which evoke whimsy while belying a more sinister undertone.

 

Curiosity, humor, criticality, artifice, reverence for the natural world and romanticism appear throughout Torbjørn Rødland’s work (and often in the same image), while the powerful and influential woodcuts of John Savio are arguably the first modern Sámi artistic expression from the 1930s. The exhibition also premieres new works by a number of leading Nordic artists: Margrethe Aanestad, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Sara-Vide Ericsen, Britta Marakatt-Labba, The Icelandic Love Corporation, Shoplifter/Hrafnhildur Arnasdóttir and Katrín Sigurðardóttir.
