Anna Pajak, The Hour Under Water #5, 2021
As you might be aware of, we are closing the gallery for a couple of weeks in the middle of summer so that we can take some well needed time off and regain inspiration. However, we still want to spend our free time enjoying art. Therefore, we have compiled a list with activities, exhibitions, and art happenings that our Scandinavian artists are featured in during the upcoming months.
Outside of Stockholm, in Saltsjö-Duvnäs you will find the studio of Kajsa and Olle Nyman, siblings and artists. Their studio space has been turned into a museum and for the upcoming summer they are re-launching their exhibition program with three different exhibitions. For the middle period, from July 10 – August 15, they will host the group show Glass Tableware in Still Life, featuring our artist Anna Camner. Read more here.
Liva Isakson Lundin’s artworks can be found in several places in Sweden this upcoming season. First, we recommend a visit to Moderna Museet where her sculpture Past Bearing was installed earlier this year as a part of their permanent collection, which you can read more about here.She recently inaugurated the sculpture Omväg, a large scale installation at Stora Torg in Eslöv, a city located in Skåne. More information here. Last, but not least, we can’t recommend a visit to Pilane Heritage Museum on Tjörn enough.
