@scanhouse The Cold Stitch: Exhibition of 15 Nordic artists Friday, September 4, 2026 - Wednesday, September 16, 2026 THE COLD STITCH brings together artists from across Scandinavia whose practices engage with textiles as both material and language. Through quilting, patchwork, collage, weaving, hand embroidery, sculptural textiles, and visible and invisible stitching, this exhibition explores how textile traditions have continued to evolve within contemporary art. The exhibition’s title refers both to the geography of the North, the relationship with textiles and the act of stitching itself. THE COLD STITCH celebrates textile art as a living and evolving practice deeply rooted in the cultures of the North, where there is a strong tradition of working with textiles as an art form and where stitching continues to mend, preserve, and reimagine the world around us.

Tak for en dejlig fernisering i fredags ❤️ Tak til @underboencph (Helle & Frank) for gæstfrihed og generøsitet, for at skabe en god atmosfære omkring kunsten. Tak til min familie og venner ❤️ jeg har haft udstillings-tunnelsyn i lang tid nu og kun tænkt på ophængning, værklister og bobleplast alt imens jeg har tabt og knækket alle mine hårspænder, knækket cykelstyret og glemt alting alle steder, det har været stressende og øjenåbnende og sjovt på samme tid. Til sidst en opfordring til at cykle forbi Underboen, Vesterbrogade 163 og se udstillingen som løber frem til d. 25. April, hvis du spørger pænt er jeg sikker på Helle giver en kop kaffe 🌞✨ Er du interesseret i at se flere værker (også dem der ikke er indrammede) så send dm og så finder vi et tidspunkt sammen… Kh Simone

I had the pleasure of attending the reception for The Poetics of Material and Memory, curated by Zahara @zahrabany @nyfacurrent at CD&R’s office at 550 Madison Avenue. Thank you to Ami @iam__ami_ for the kind invitation. I was happy to be there with Sammy and celebrate this thoughtful exhibition. Participating artists: Hedwig Brouckaert, Cecile Chong, Jeanette R. Fintz, Joanne Freeman, Ron Milewicz, Lee Jensen, Ami Park, and Mayumi Terada. It was impressive to see the exhibition thoughtfully integrated into the office environment alongside CD&R’s permanent collection. Congratulations to Zahra and all the artists.

📣 “In/Between 2024: Cosmic Domestic” is on view beginning tomorrow from March 6 - 31, 2024 at the New York Live Arts Ford Foundation Live Gallery, 219 West 19th Street, New York City. The exhibition features artists from NYFA’s Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program. The Opening Reception on Wednesday, March 6th at 5:30pm is free and open to the public and sold out but come and we will get you in! The Ford Foundation Live Gallery is located in the Live Arts lobby and has daily viewing hours from 10:00am-9:00pm. In/Between began as a simple question to @picchurris, “How to best benefit immigrant artists?” The answer from her was straightforward: opportunities to showcase their work that they can put on their visas to remain in the U.S. And with the generosity of @nylivearts and the incredible support of @nyfacurrent this annual exhibition to increase the visibility of, and conversation around, the work of immigrant artists was born. This is our fifth exhibition and it has grown thanks to our partners and to the amazing curators who have joined Martita and I to organize, plan and curate the exhibit. For the first three years we were so fortunate to have @poppydeltadawn and now honored to work with @zahrabany. This year’s statement: “In selecting and bringing this work together from New York Foundation for the Arts’ 2024 immigrant artist cohort—we are considering our own visceral response to the urgent needs of people seeking asylum in New York City. What is sanctuary? Many of the works in Cosmic Domestic embed home in outer space, in our bodies, in temporary shelters, in dreams and vessels, in a crib and the MTA. These twenty artists, working in a variety of mediums, evoke the power of birth, family, and the courageous act of inhabiting.” This year’s exhibit features work by Melika Abikenari, Andrés Altamirano, Min Baek, Gabriela Bornstein, Lana Bolycheva, Doreen Chan, Nelise Nasheida Charles, Ruoyun Chen, Rocío Delaloye, Lafina Eptaminitaki, Tea (Tika) Gzirishvili, Lee Jensen, Doi Kim, Jisook Kim, Azadeh Nia, Mari Nagem, Eiko Nishida, Johan Orellana, Hadeel Saalok, and Vera Saldivar de Lira. Come see their gorgeous work.
