Also this Spring, Frame hosts international art professionals in Finland as part of our Visitor Programme, which supports international networking and promotion of the Finnish contemporary art field.
In April, we hosted Masumi Kaoru, Senior Program Officer at the National Center for Art Research – NCAR, Japan, along with a group of emerging Japanese curators for their study trip to Norway, Sweden, and Finland.
Cosmin Costinaș and Inti Guerrero, the Artistic Directors of the 9th Yokohama Triennale in 2027, are visiting Finland in May. This visit is organised in collaboration with IASPIS – International Programme for Visual and Applied Arts, in Sweden.
Also in May, Frame hosted a group of gallery directors and curators from Denmark in Helsinki. The programme is organised by The Finnish Cultural Institute in Denmark together with Galleri Nicolai Wallner, in collaboration with Frame Contemporary Art Finland. Over the course of the week, the guests were introduced to the local contemporary art scene through visits to galleries, museums, and artists’ studios.
Guests included Anders Jensen and Caroline Hjordt from Gallery Nicolai Wallner, Alice Folker from Gallery Alice Folker, Signe Melgaard Mark from ARoS Museum of Contemporary Art, Rasmus Stenbakken from ARKEN Museum of Contemporary Art, Simone Rasmussen from Kunstmuseum Brandts, and Amalie Marie Laustsen from Kunsten Museum of Modern Art Aalborg.
Upcoming visitors include Curator and co-founder of Riga Art Week Tīna Pētersone. Currently, she serves as Creative Producer for Liepāja 2027, European Capital of Culture, where she is developing international contemporary art commissions. We are also looking forward to hosting Head of Programme Hanne Mugaas from the Office of Contemporary Art – OCA, Norway, as part of an ongoing collaboration with our Nordic peer organisations.
