INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AS STEWARDS FOR CULTURAL EXCHANGE
May 14—4:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Join us for a panel discussion at Future Art Fair, featuring Scandinavia House curator Emily Stoddart as a part of their Future Talks by Artlogic series! Future Talks by Artlogic will debut at the fair’s sixth edition, taking place May 13-16, 2026, at Chelsea Industrial (535 W 28th St) in the heart of New York’s historic Chelsea art district.
At a time when rising costs, constrained mobility, and shifting political landscapes are redefining how culture circulates across borders, this conversation considers the role of privately governed, nonprofit institutions—supported by both public and private funding—as stewards of international cultural exchange. How can these models continue to foster sustained and meaningful artistic dialogue across geographies, and support artists working internationally?
This panel will be followed by a cocktail reception and curator-led walk-through hosted by Scandinavia House and The Royal Norwegian Consulate General in New York.
Moderated by
Gregory Volk, Art Critic and Freelance Curator
