"-I am always curious. It’s part of my being."
Super Vox had the pleasure of attending this year’s Heartland Festival
for a conversation with the legendary artist Dominique
Gonzalez-Foerster. The talk took place in a quiet, green corner of the
festival, set in the historic gardens of Egeskov Castle.
The discussion touched on key themes in Gonzalez-Foerster’s work —
from the role of fiction and performance in her practice to the
influence of music and everyday life. Known for her immersive
installations and interdisciplinary approach, she shared insights into
how her ideas take shape.

Meeting Börkur Arnarson
During CHART Art Fair 2024, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Börkur Arnarson,
founder and director of Reykjavík’s iconic i8 Gallery. Börkur, who established the gallery in
1995, has been a pivotal figure in Iceland’s contemporary art scene, representing a dynamic
roster of international and Icelandic artists.
Börkur shared how it all began with i8—the early days of the gallery, its growing list of artists,
and how Iceland has emerged as a destination for contemporary art. We discussed the
country’s unique cultural scene, the role of i8 in shaping it, and the gallery’s journey over
nearly three decades.
Our conversation also explored the challenges and opportunities of running a gallery in
today’s global art world, as well as Börkur’s vision for the future of i8 and the artists it
represents.

Meeting Ingegerd Råman
In this episode of Design Vox, host Thommy Bindefeld meets Ingegerd Råman in her studio on Skeppsholmen in Stockholm. Thommy persists calling Ingegerd, Grand Dame of Swedish contemporary design, which she explains why she doesn’t feel comfortable being labeled as. “I’m just happy that my language is seen and appreciated” Ingegerd Råman is one of the internationally most well-known Swedish glass designers that is represented in museums around the world. Ingegerd has been awarded the title Professor by the Swedish government and been awarded with Prince Eugen Medal by H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf. With her elegant and functionalistic design language she has worked with different materials, like ceramic, metal, textiles and glass, but she has also worked together with the architect Gert Wingårdh with architectural projects such as the Liljevalchs art museum in Stockholm. In this conversation Ingegerd and Thommy talks about creativity and how Ingegerd, being dyslectic, were encouraged to use her creative language in early age. Ingegerd talks about how she only designs products that she would use herself and how consistent she has been in her aesthetics. During the years Ingegerd’s design has been very acknowledged in Japan and she has done and is still doing new design projects with Japanese producers.
