Curators Markús Þór Andrésson of the Rekyjavik Art Museum, Jaime DeSimone of the Portland Museum of Art and Anders Jansson of the Bildmuseet will join art writer Gregory Volk for a conversation about the North Atlantic Triennial, currently on view at the Portland Museum of Art until June 5, in a virtual program produced by Scandinavia House in collaboration with the Portland Museum of Art. 

Co-organized by the Portland Museum of Art, the Reykjavík Art Museum, Iceland, and the Bildmuseet, Sweden, the North Atlantic Triennial is the first exhibition devoted entirely to contemporary art of the North Atlantic region. Featuring both emerging and more 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.
