Description was written before the event

Ofog

In Ofog, aghili/karlsson and Edith Hammar meet to explore questions of nationalism, artistic freedom, and collective agency - in connection with global currents and Sweden's upcoming elections. The exhibition features installations, sculptures, and woodcuts, as well as performances and rituals that visitors can participate in.

Through Hammar's woodcut-based installations Discontented Miracles and Triumphal Arch, Ofog moves from motifs of political protest and theoretical phenomena to historical narratives of civil disobedience and resistance. Together, aghili/karlsson and Hammar ask how art can help reclaim political agency and imagine other ways of living together.

Magnet

At the same time, Elisa Florimond's first international solo exhibition Magnet opens on the third floor. Here archival materials and facsimiles meet moving images, film stills, and miniature soap sculptures - and the exhibition furniture itself constitutes artworks.

In Florimond's practice, everything is an artwork, but nothing is an artwork without its given context - that is, the exhibition. There new connections and meanings emerge in what the artist describes as an associative magnetic field - "The Magnet".

Both exhibitions are curated by Amila Puzić.
