Today I’m excited to introduce you to ALIUM, a new multifaceted art gallery blurring the lines between art, design and interiors. An exciting project by Thomas Nissen, founder of the popular Copenhagen-based online emporium The Poster Club, ALIUM is located next to Frederiksberg City hall in a historic building, and showcases a curated collection of rotating artworks and unique objects from a handpicked selection of artists.
The name ALIUM, meaning ‘different' or 'unlike others' in Latin, reflects the fundamental thought behind the gallery, and its mission to offer an experience that extends beyond the visual. Altering not only the way art is displayed, but also the storytelling behind the works, ALIUM delves deeper into the narratives that surround them.
Challenging the traditional way of showcasing art and breaking down the barriers between home living and conceptual art, ALIUM changes and encourages 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.

ALIUM represents both established and upcoming artists, with a current selection of works by Anne Nowak, Amanda Betz, Carsten Beck, Annette Hallbäck, Linda Weimann, Noa Noon Gammelgaard, Sofia Tufvasson, Rebecca Hein and Malene Birger. An exciting line up that will evolve over time, there will be many more artists 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.
Artworks are available worldwide via aliumcph.com with selected pieces available at the ALIUM Gallery, now open by appointment. The gallery will also be hosting a variety of vernissages, exhibitions and events. Understandably all planned exhibitions have been postponed due to Covid-19, but you can stay up to date by following the ALIUM website and Instagram page.
