About Nyyh
Nyyh is an online publication with a focus on contemporary art. Through an experimental and explorative approach, we want to make art writing and discourse more diverse and delve into both current and timeless topics around contemporary art.
Nyyh was founded in Helsinki, Finland in spring 2023. It is run by the NYYH ry association, founded by students of the History and Theory of Contemporary Art programme at the Academy of Fine Arts. The publication was born out of the need to promote independent art discourse.
Nyyh is published online about three times a year with a changing theme.
