At the V1 Gallery, art is seen as a profound and competent media for social and political engagement. V1 strives to be a space with no limitations other than quality and nerve. This was the first gallery in Scandinavia that presented artists that were (in)famous on the streets before the fine art commun­ity embraced them.
