Abstract (en)

Surveys contemporary Scandinavian art and concludes: "Nordic art from the 1990s is rooted in paradox: the region has become aware of its peripheral status while liberating itself from its Nordic heritage. It is possible to detect a new brand of tacit individualism in its artwork. Modern social welfare policy has created a secure, democratic cultural climate. On the other hand, it has resulted in a desire to transgress accepted norms".
