What not to miss during Stockholm Art Week

After what feels like the longest hiatus due to the Covid pandemic, Stockholm’s art scene is finally back in full swing. The season commences with Stockholm Art Week which runs from the 14 – 19 September.

The platform acts as an umbrella for all the various events, book launches, artist talks, art fairs, and open studios during the culture filled week, which includes a VIP section along with a public program; open for all to attend.

Artist Kasper Nordenström Jung addresses the act of painting sculpturally. Creating minimalistic studies in materiality through avoiding actual paint, the artist allows for a subtle observation of his emotional state, an opportunity to experience a painting in new forms. This exhibition is in its final week and should not be missed. The 'StudyForArtPlatform' is a project and exhibition space originally founded by artist Mateas Pares.

Unfolding Image is an experimental exhibition examining a premise where participating artists (Inez Jönsson, Martin Kozlowski, Ylva Carlgren, Juri Markkula and Karl Patric Näsman) were invited to collaborate with Koto Kataoka, a traditional Japanese folding screen artist. Kataoka created each artist’s unique folding screen sculpture in his studio in Tokyo, in close dialogue with artists, then the artworks were transported to Stockholm and completed by the artists at Konstnärshuset. The exhibition offers a unique experience in cooperation and dialogue between artists and is initiated by Karl Patric Näsman.
