Linnéa Sjöberg is a Swedish artist that works between Stockholm and Berlin, and her exhibition Jag har spytt tusen år av ord (I have vomited a thousand years of words) is a dizzying tsunami-wave of ideas and experiences.

Artist Christopher Kulendran Thomas’ New Eelam project is one that aims to open up questions about how and where we live. Kulendran Thomas ponders ideas of citizenship: the name New Eelam comes from the Tamil name for Sri Lanka, and the Tamils’ attempt to establish a new state, Tamil Eelam, which failed when they were […]
War (unh, yeah), what is it good for? Well, exhibitions at art galleries apparently. Bonniers Konsthall’s current exhibition, ‘The Image Of War’, is a collection of works from artists dealing with the depictions of conflict, how they’re fed to us and what we take from them. For those of us who live safe and far […]
Fria Fotografers Filial was initially born at Kulturhuset in 2016 after an idea by their then Art/ Design and Fashion head Karina Ericsson Wärn: “In the 1980s I ran Gauss Fotografiskt Galleri together with some friends.

Born in Stockholm in 1977, Alexander Klingspor chose to skip a Swedish art education and instead do his learning in America.

The designer Alexander Lervik graduated from Beckmans School Of Design in 1998, and the twentieth anniversary of that event has convinced Kulturhuset that it’s time for a retrospective. The designer has had a career that has seen him create products that blend striking form with usability, or as the exhibition text puts it, that “can […]
This exhibition takes a look at one of the most renowned painters in the Swedish art world. Born in Norway before moving to Sweden as a child, Peter Dahl worked across eight decades, from the chaos of the post-war years to his (probable) last painting, a triple self-portrait in 2016. Dahl’s work covers a wide […]
Photography is a tool, albeit a subjective one, with which we can document our everyday lives and the interesting moments that happen throughout it. Two people who have documented their lives are the late Linda McCartney and her daughter Mary. Linda became the first person to both be photographed for and to have taken a […]
This exhibition at Moderna Museet centres on Art et Liberté, a group of Egyptian thinkers and surrealist artists who launched their collective with a manifesto entitled “Long Live Degenerate Art” in 1938. As a group of left-wing and anti-fascist theorists and artist, the group was a petri-dish for new ideas and resistance to colonialism, as […]
