An important characteristic of contemporary creation is the
interdisciplinary dialogue between art, design and architecture. Radical exchanges are taking place with minds and
materials pooling into multi-faceted collaborations. Galerie Maria Wettergren highlights the works of contemporary
Scandinavian artists/designers in the center of this phenomenon. Standing out
for their innovative and poetic pieces, they are part of important
museum collections such as the MoMA and the Centre Pompidou.
Maria Wettergren equally organizes exhibitions by modern and contemporary photographers such as Rodolphe Proverbio. A monographic exhibition with the work of the French artist Etienne Bertrand Weill is under preparation for 2014.
The gallery
is participating in international art and design fairs such as Design
Miami/Basel, PAD Paris / London and FIAC, and has received twice the Award-winning Stand at the PAD Paris and PAD london fair 2012 by a jury composed by among others Jean-Michel Wilmotte, Zaha Hadid and Tom Dixon.
