The North Atlantic Triennial is the first exhibition devoted entirely to contemporary art from the North Atlantic.Entitled Down Иorth, this pilot edition is co-organized by Reykjavík Art Museum, Iceland, Portland Museum of Art, USA, and Bildmuseet, Sweden.
Featuring both emerging and established artists living today, the exhibition presents 21st-century art from an unprecedented cross-section of artists living in Maine, the Canadian Maritimes, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Faroe Islands, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark as well as Indigenous Nations throughout the region.
Down Иorth presents a selection of 30 artists showing new works that deal with the changes that are taking place in society, nature and the ecosystem in the Arctic at the beginning of the 21st century and are largely due to climate change. The exhibition travels between the collaborating institutions from February 2022 until the end of 2023.
