ALIUM — a New Multifaceted Art Gallery Based in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen

ALIUM is a new multifaceted art gallery blurring the lines between art, design, and interiors. Based in Copenhagen, next to Frederiksberg City hall in a historic building, the gallery showcases a curated collection of rotating artworks and unique objects from a handpicked selection of artists.

In Latin, ALIUM means different or unlike others. This name reflects the fundamental thought behind the gallery. With the mission to offer an enriched experience, ALIUM alters the way art is displayed as well as the storytelling behind: delving deeper into the narratives surrounding the works.

ALIUM aims to challenge the traditional way of showcasing art and break down the barriers between home living and conceptual art, and in so doing change and encourage the way individuals experience and buy art, online and in galleries.

Existing in the space between interior design and art, ALIUM creates a fluid transition and a timeless expression that inspires visitors. Combining its Copenhagen roots and Scandinavian heritage, ALIUM places a great emphasis on uncompromising craftsmanship, focusing on quality materials, shapes, and a simple aesthetic.

THE SELECTION 

ALIUM represents both upcoming and established artists, with a current selection consisting of works from; Anne Nowak, Amanda Betz, Carsten Beck, Annette Hallbäck, Linda Weimann, Noa Noon Gammelgaard, Sofia Tufvasson, Rebecca Hein, Malene Birger. Many more artists are to be announced in the near future.

Besides original artworks and objects, the gallery also offers a permanent print collection, ALIUM Archive, which is a series of open edition prints created by selected artists, exclusively for ALIUM.

The ALIUM Gallery is open for visitors with a presentation of selected artworks available by appointment. The gallery will be hosting a variety of vernissages, exhibitions, and events. The happenings of 2020 will be released in due time. 

THE FOUNDER 

Behind ALIUM is Thomas Nissen, an entrepreneur with many years of experience in the interior design and art industry. He saw an opportunity for creating a space that offers a multi-dimensional understanding of original artworks, in an inspiring and more approachable way.

 Along with a team of talented industry professionals and other key partners, Thomas has built the ALIUM universe, both online and at the physical gallery.
