Release party Uncertain States Scandinavia Issue 01

We welcome every hale, social and happy person to join us at Uncertain States Scandinavia's first release party (if you aren't happy nor social you are welcome too)! We have chosen our studio Punkt for the occasion, and there will be beer, cigarettes and a big stack of newspapers. Welcome! Invite the crowd!

Uncertain States Scandinavia are primarily an artist-led project that publishes and distributes a free quarterly broadsheet newspaper showing lens-based-art. Formed in 2016 by Tor Simen Ulstein, Astrid Gjersøe Skåtterød and Charlie Fjätström.

We invite writers, artists and academics who share the same ethos: that is, to create a platform for work that reflects some key social and political concerns and challenges how perceptions are formed in society on issues as diverse as politics, religion and personal identity, whilst at the same time nurture a growing community of independent artists who seek an alternative outlet for their artistic practice.

Our shared purpose is to support the creative process, both of others and ourselves – to offer a platform of exposure for work to a wider audience and to be part of the ongoing dialogue of what photography is today, what motivates us to create and ask how photography communicates: in short, be a flagship for contemporary Scandinavian Photography.
