- It will be great to see how Bonniers Konsthall develops under Joanna Nordin’s leadership, and I am convinced that she will ensure that Bonniers Konsthall continues to challenge, engage and be a voice for contemporary art, both locally and on the topmost international level. Pontus Bonnier, Chair of the Board of Bonniers Konsthall.
Joanna Nordin was born in Halmstad in 1982. Interested in transdisciplinary thinking, collaborative processes and context specificity, Nordin’s work has often focused on correlations between ecology and local cultural history. During her time as director of the Carl Eldh Studio Museum, Nordin has organised experimental programs and exhibitions furthering the museum's orientation towards contemporary art. She has priorly worked as curator of contemporary art at Sörmlands Museum and curator of learning at Index – The Swedish Contemporary Art Foundation. She holds an MFA from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm.
- I am honored to be entrusted to lead a new chapter of Bonniers Konsthall. I’m looking forward to working with the team on site, working closely with exciting artists and finding ways of telling their stories. This is a time to think about the challenges of our times collectively, with compassion and imagination. I’m looking forward to seeing the way that art in an expanded program here at Bonniers Konsthall can be groundbreaking and bold while growing on the established legacy and years of artistic innovation.

About Bonniers Konsthall
Since its doors first opened in 2006, Bonniers Konsthall has been a space unconditionally devoted to contemporary artists and their work. The interaction with artists imbues activities and the building itself with a unique nerve, and artistic approaches are consistently at the core. Art is the starting point for dialogue with visitors, with other artistic disciplines, including literature, music and film, and with the community at large. It is through the power and capacity of art to interpret and comprehend our times that Bonniers Konsthall retains its relevance.
