There is plenty going on at Marabouparken this winter, not least the exhibition by Belgian artist David Clearbout, who works at the crossroads between photography and film. Together with the other major show, with the work of Anna Nordquist Andersson, they present a different way of seeing from what we are used to.

Check out work like The Algiers’ Sections of a Happy Moment, set in a small soccer field on a roof of the Kasbah in Algiers to get a feeling of Clearbout’s cross-pollination of where film becomes photography.

If you want more than just the regular museum experience, take a look at the program of Public Enquiries. A research project based on the work of artist Kerstin Bergendahl with the focus mainly on her Park Lek project, the book is a utopian art project combined with a city developmental process, done in cooperation with Sundbyberg.

A Swede based in Copenhagen, Bergendahl tries to figure out subjects like art in the common space, critical urbanism and art outside the regular exhibition spaces, and there will also be three open English-speaking symposia with invited speakers.

The material collected in these meet-ups will be published next year. The first symposium is November 26th, at Allaktivitetshuset in Sundbyberg. The other two will be in Copenhagen in January and in Gothenburg in April.

 David Claerbout
 is on display until February 14
