The “lump” functions as an unruly muse, something that interrupts, complicates, swells, leaks or glitches. It might be illness. It might be a chewed piece of gum. Or a golden shimmer that turns out to be urine.Heidi’s work unfolds across performance, installation, sound, sculpture and text. Often process-based and materially unstable, the pieces create warped environments where the border between the intimate and the alien begins to slip. Her recent projects have focused on health, critical self-care and bodily dysfunction — exploring the aesthetics of failure, the politics of wellness, and the myth of the pure or the perfect.With a background in theatre and an ongoing love for dance, LARP and science fiction, she often draws from narrative forms that blur authorship, duration and character. Her work has been shown at venues such as Färgfabriken, Konstakademien, Kummelholmen and Detroit Stockholm. She is also an active member of the performance-punk band Kulturprofilerna, the artist-run platforms Best Before Collective and Fylkingen.www.ingentinget.netwww.instagram.com/ingentinget  Heidi Edström Heidi Edström (b. 1990, Luleå) is a Stockholm-based performance and visual artist whose practice circles around the long-term investigation... http://bestbeforecollective.se/Katarina-Andresson Tue, 09 Dec 2025 11:09:19 +0000 Best Before 458699  Katarina Andersson Katarina Andersson (b. 1990, Södertälje) is a visual artist based in Stockholm who primarily works in oil on canvas. She works figuratively, often with bold colours and organic shapes. The paintings are filled with symbolism and open up windows to a surreal world where the focus is on the animals point of view. Katarina is interested in storytelling, and to find alternative and overlooked perspectives. Lately she has explored this by challenging anthropocentrism and letting animals be main characters in her work. The paintings illustrate the twistedness of the world, but also include something magical and hopeful. She is fascinated by symbolism and how objects can be read completely differently, depending on the setting and the viewer's point of view.In the autumn of 2025 Katarina is studing Bachelor's programme in Fine Art at Konstfack, Stockholm.https://www.instagram.com/kattritar/  Katarina Andersson Katarina Andersson (b. 1990, Södertälje) is a visual artist based in Stockholm who primarily works in oil on canvas.

Täckets tre lager har för hand sytts samman. Stygnen bildar tillsammans ord; PREKAMBRIUM, HADEIKUM, PALEOZOIKUM, JURA och KRITA - namn på eoner, eror och perioder i den geologiska tidsskalan. En skala som inom geologin berättar om tiden från jordens bildande för ungefär 4,5 miljarder år sedan fram till idag. Bilden som orden har quiltats på är vag och färgerna ljusa. Bitarna av bomullssatin som tillsammans skapar täckets yta, har färgats med naturligt förekommande pigment som järn, ekollon och valnöt. Färgerna försöker efterlikna tonerna på bergen i fresken Adoration of the Magi målad på 1400-talet i det florentinska klostret San Marco. I väggmålningen har bergen ännu inte blivit hårda. Mjukt hänger dem istället som på pinnar nära att uppgå i kalkstensputsen. I sitt konstnärskap intresserar sig Maria Westmar för sten som ett rörligt, föränderligt och flytande material snarare än fast och fixerat. Hon använder sig återkommande av textila material och ämnen från vad vi benämner som naturen. Hennes arbete kommer ofta till uttryck i skulptur och installation med visuella referenser till vardagsnära och mjuka objekt såsom madrasser, täcken och kuddar. Med geologin som en återkommande hållpunkt undersöker Maria Westmar materialen i vår omgivning och historierna som de ger upphov till.Titel: Platsens beskrivning År: 2026 Material och teknik: quiltning, sömnad, lappteknik, textil handfärgning med naturligt förekommande pigment som järn, ekollon och valnöt, bomullssatin, bumulls- och sojavadd, bomullstråd och linnelakan.Maria Westmar Med kroppen som utgångspunkt utforskar Maria Westmar hur till synes fasta material och rigida entiteter kan tillskrivas rörelse och förändring genom att förstå dem relationellt. Materialen har en meningsbärande roll i hennes konstnärliga arbete som tillsammans med idén leder processen framåt. I arbetet med stenen, textilien, sanden och skumgummit frågar hon sig om de är i rörelse. Om materialen är levande eller döda och om de har agens. Maria Westmars arbete kommer ofta till uttryck i skulptur och installation med visuella referenser till vardagsnära och mjuka objekt som madrasser, täcken och kuddar. Genom skulptur, installation, text och bild bearbetar och undersöker hon frågor som rör kropp, materialitet, liv, ursprung och det sinnliga.Maria Westmar är bild- och textilkonstnär verksam i Malmö.

Gult och svart i kombination. En energirik motsättning som alstrat också ett nytt sätt att betrakta världen. Arbetet med det gula och det svarta startade med en önskan om att inkludera färg i det som tidigare bara varit svart och vitt. Svart är svart och fick kvarstå. Vitt är vitt och lämnar allt öppet för förändring. Att i färgspektrat hitta en motsvarighet till det vita var inte svårt. Den mest ljusstarka färgen är gul. En högintensiv energirik frekvens som både ger och tar; som behövs men också utgör ett hot, en fara. Något vi måste skydda oss mot. Men utan vars förekomst vi skulle gå under. – Jag började experimentera och la färgerna bredvid varandra. Rena färger utan en medveten plan. Enkla penseldrag. Fundamentalt. Såg snabbt att detta liknade något annat, något jag sett tidigare. Ett mönster dök upp när jag varvade gult och svart och gult och svart. Ett mönster, en signal som redan fanns där ute, där ute i världen, gjorde sej gällande. Varningsskyltar i tunnelbanan, längs vägkanterna, i fabrikerna, på flygplatserna, byggplatserna, runt kraftverken, i trapporna, ja överallt där den mänskliga aktiviteten dragit fram i det kluster som vi vanligtvis kallar det sociala livet. Men också uråldrigt som inom heraldiken, mönstren och symbolerna i det gamla Egypten, Kina, Japan. I den militära historiken. I den civila. Bland djuren, faktiskt också bland djuren. Insekterna. Och mera.&nbsp; – Jag började göra målningar som påminde om varningarna. Mått och vinklar utvecklades, precis som färgkulören (koden) för det gula. 1979 visade jag en liten serie gulsvarta akrylmålningar på galleri Mors Mössa i Göteborg. Och en mapp med screentryck. Målningarna och trycken var exakta och gränsen mellan gult och svart knivskarp. Att nu, som här på Best Before Collective, arbeta med prefabricerad gulsvart varningstejp är inte nytt, varken för mej eller för andra. Det ser vi dagligen i staden eller på andra ställen där den mänskliga aktiviteten dragit / drar fram.&nbsp; Leif Elggren <img width="4117" height="3645" width_o="4117" height_o="3645" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/4e4c8be48daa4954a77eb49118ef027bd486855fe7ffa5152fa50981014e1fc9/IMG_0719.jpeg" data-mid="1427025" border="0" /> Galleri Best Before Collective, T-Hornstull (gångtunneln under Långholmsgatan) Leif Elggren är verksam som författare, bildkonstnär, förläggare, performancekonstnär och kompositör. Baserad i Stockholm. Utbildad vid Kungliga Konsthögskolan. I sitt arbete rör han sej mellan drömmar och subtila absurditeter som att vända de sociala hierarkierna uppochned. Hans arbete inkluderar ofta kungliga kronor, emblematiska maktsymboler, virus, smittsamma sjukdomar, möbler och kombinationen gult och svart. Hans ljudande arbeten är ofta soundtracks till installationer och performances. 1988 bildade han tillsammans med Kent Tankred duon Guds söner.

Art does nothing. No one feels anything or has ever gotten any ideas from art. Lacking in consequence, it follows that art is absolutely harmless. Images do not upset or soothe, sound does not shake the eardrum. If art doesn’t matter, the only conclusion to draw is that it can either go away or be let free. Perhaps I am being sarcastic. Do I mean that Art Is Actually Dangerous. A third alternative to the dangerous/ harmless dichotomy is that art is neither, both, and above all inconsistent. Does the title want art to be harmless or to be dangerous? In his book What Do Pictures Want?, W.J.T. Mitchell ascribes intentions to pictures, highlighting the human tendency to speak about pictures as if they were alive. At least Swedish and English speakers, from what I know, speak about images as if they act – are in dialogue and speak. The question shifts the focus in analyses of images from their straightforward affect, to their hidden intentions. To Mitchell, the image is “powerful – but also weak; meaningful – but also meaningless.” To illustrate how images are powerful, he quotes an art history colleague: “When students scoff at the idea of a magical relation between a picture and what it represents, ask them to take a picture of their mother and cut out the eyes”. Things are magical when people act as if they are. In this exhibition are two photographs taken with a smartphone camera in 2017 and 2018. I’ve drawn digitally on each image, and printed them on archival paper for a fine artsy texture, but also wanted them to chatter with disposable posters of the public space. After printing, I manually manipulated the images with sandpaper and fire and covered them in epoxy resin. I have been drawing digitally on photographs since 2014. When I draw, the underlying photograph already has a plan for us. I react to the plan, but also to what my hand is putting out when reacting. I can ⌘+Z as many times as I want and truly listen to the wishes of the photo. What do you think it wants? <img width="3811" height="4171" width_o="3811" height_o="4171" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/a6c6c46e8ebce5536f13cab982548fd3fe69ea85f1e619cb8e0a423b31ce23bb/IMG_9896.jpeg" data-mid="1423081" border="0" />Galleri Best Before Collective, T-Hornstull (gångtunneln under Långholmsgatan) Jaana-Kristiina Alakoski is a Swedish artist based between Stockholm and London. Through installation, image, text and performance, her practice explores ethical self-contradictions and unethical desires. Inspired by questions posed in theoretical fields such as political and aesthetic theory, she makes her own conceptual theories thick with frenzy and performativity. Imagery and language in Alakoski’s practice echo popular culture and the everyday, or in her own words; sit in hotspots of conflicting values and emotions. The resonance of inconsistency so intimately linked with a desire for clarity becomes at once a form of self-harm and a remedy, a pharmakon. Alakoski received her BFA from Central Saint Martins, London (2018) and recently graduated from the MFA at The Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm (2025). <img width="1318" height="1622" width_o="1318" height_o="1622" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/492c6afa8c2cdab8df649ec159ab2a32a003c8e004e4d1133976de35118bb19d/Screenshot-2025-12-11-at-15.01.42.png" data-mid="1427195" border="0" />Instagram: @jaanakristiina Webb:&nbsp;https://www.jaanakristiina.se/  1 - 31 October 2025 Krökta verkligheterSofia ZwahlenVerket tar sin form från vintergatan, en så kallad stavspiralgalax. Skulpturen har fått sina vågiga armar från tanken om rumtid och hur det brukar illustreras som böjningar i rutmönster kring en tung himlakropp. Ytan och färgen är hämtade från det vardagliga runtom oss, i en vilja att ta ner det stora, oändliga och ofattbara, till våra kroppar. Kosmiska fenomen tenderar att både frustrera och förtrolla mig, och lämna kvar en sorts kroppslig förnimmelse. Det uppstår ett glapp när kunskap skall kommuniceras, en omformning måste ske för att det skall kunna förklaras.

Varje verk växer fram genom en långsam, kroppslig process: att sy ihop juteväv, grunda med kokt benlim, täcka ytor med gesso och blanda jordpigment med linolja.För Narek är konsten inte ett färdigt budskap – den är ett samtal mellan kropp, materia och inre världar. Det är i själva rörelsen, i det fysiska mötet med materialet, som målningen uppstår. Symboler som har sitt ursprung i arketyper och berättelser framträder som utgrävda ur en själens arkeologi.-Narek Aghajanyan, född 1980 i Jerevan Armenien, är en konstnär som har utbildat sig vid Jerevans statliga konstakademi, där han avslutade både en kandidat- och magisterexamen i konst.

Hon tar fasta på materialets olika kvalitéer och studerar hur nya betydelser och sätt att betrakta objekten uppstår då de tillåts byta kontext. Maria intresserar sig för det tragikomiska som ibland uppstår när olika betydelser utforskas och blandas. Där får man möjlighet att undersöka tillvarons sprickor, för att försöka förstå och smälta verkligheten. Det relativt billiga, nyttiga och oansenliga knäckebrödet blir i Marias arbete en symbol för det icke-hierarkiska. Det har också en estetisk och skulptural kvalité med referenser till både arkitektur och en akademisk abstrakt måleri-tradition. Det pågående arbetet med knäckebröd har fått namnet ”Känsla och hårdhet”. Titeln refererar till något hårt men samtidigt, tvärtom, skört och sprött. “Det upplevs hårt när du sätter tänderna i det, men det kan förvandlas till smulor av ett lätt tryck med handen.” <img width="3575" height="2916" width_o="3575" height_o="2916" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/593878cf0cbc8c23195740849efc301c2b3126c70d0d3a09e4de24ae98140641/IMG_5189.jpeg" data-mid="1411920" border="0" /> Galleri Best Before Collective, T-Hornstull (gångtunneln under Långholmsgatan)  1 Maj - 3 Juni 2025 Röster i rött På första maj talar gatorna.De talar om rättvisa, kamp och gemenskap.Men de viskar också – om drömmar som ännu inte fått blomma,om arbetets tyngd, om viljan att förändra.

Detta är ett av mina senaste verk som innefattar ”ready made” objekt så som böcker, fotografier och performance. I mina verk hanterar jag frågor kring medvetenhet och identitet i komplexiteten kring utrymme, miljö och tid. Kampen som aldrig dör Isobel Sjöblom Verket handlar om kvinnokampen och jämställdhet, kvinnorna i himlen föreställer två verkliga kvinnor som kämpade för kvinnors rättigheter som gått bort. Emmeline Pankhurst och Mahsa Amini från Iran. Verket heter "Kampen som aldrig dör" då det är en kamp som jag anser aldrig kommer dö. Från suffragetterna kring sekelskiftet och än idag så är samhället inte i närheten av jämställt! Hey you! Ali Ardalan ”Hey You!”, en samling pekande fingrar gjutna i gips, hänvisar till filosofen Louis Althussers uppfattning om interpellation, som beskriver förhållandet mellan auktoritetens blick och subjektiviteten. When is life grievable? Ali Ardalan Ljuslådefotografiet av fördrivna människor taget bakifrån. Installationens estetik är hämtad från kommersiella reklamlådor, som vanligtvis används för att fira konsumtion och löftet om en marknadsdriven framtid. Genom att placera bilder av asylsökande i lådor som symboliserar konsumtion skapar installationen ett motsägelsefullt utrymme. Sörj inte – organisera Belinda Morén Detta porträtt hyllar arbetaren och fackföreningsaktivisten Joe Hill som med sång och solidaritet blev en symbol för den internationella arbetarrörelsen. Född i Gävle, avrättad i Utah med historier från fabriker och fängelser. You’ll get pie in the sky when you die Belinda Morén Citatet kommer från en av Joe Hills mest kända låt "The Preacher and the Slave", skriven 1911. Låten är en parodi på den religiösa sången "In the Sweet By-and-By". Joe Hill skrev sin version som en kritik mot hur vissa predikanter uppmanade fattiga arbetare att acceptera sitt lidande i livet med löftet om belöning i himlen – istället för att kämpa för förändring här och nu.

It is a ritual of giving birth, of nurture and of good fortune in the unknown afterworld. The small objects that are extracted through the fleshy corridors are personal amulets connected to each four of the characters.The two paintings mirror each others content and are influenced by gothic rose windows and ghostly revelations.On view (props and objects excluded):Burning Window. 86 x 128 cm. Oil on plywood. 2024.Contained. 26 x 75 cm. Oil on canvas, vintage wallpaper, fake fern leafs. 2025.Four heads. Clay, acrylic paint. 2024.Baptismal font. Clay, acrylic paint. 2024. Rosa Häggbom (b. 1992, Stockholm) is a multidisciplinary artist mainly working with oil painting, textile crafts, sculpture and performance. Several of her paintings push the traditional form of a framed painting through organically shaped outlines and textile frames. Her work has a continuous spiritual and religiously seeking theme, mostly with inspiration from the medieval eastern Christian tradition, along with mythological creatures and other esoteric influences. Thoughts about life, death and rebirth are ever present in her work, although playful and humorous at the same time. The outcome is an invitation to an esoteric experience that imposes sanctity and evokes escapist fantasies about alternative realities. <img width="2160" height="2700" width_o="2160" height_o="2700" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/c96e5888522c6af1cb51fa57c363d5dc53bb88b6c7d4256fe214e0c5fd7abe98/466379296_18017608022626769_6871117173926029427_n2x.jpg" data-mid="1400733" border="0" /> Hornstull Metro Station,the pedestrian tunnel under Långholmsgatan.  8 February - 6 Mars 2025Existentia Lunae av Kristina Wikström I installationen “Existentia Lunae” visar Kristina Wikström ett sceneri bestående av målningar och skulpturer i/ av textil. Utgångspunkten är textilens kulör och materialitet, dess egenskap och tilltal. “Existentia Lunae” är en cirkulär berättelse där skulpturerna skulle kunna ses so materialiserade gestalter sprungna ur målningarnas informella gestik. Det omvända kan också vara fallet.—Existentia LunaeIn the installment ”Existentia Lunae”, Kristina Wikström displays a scenery consisting of paintings and sculptures in/of textile. The point of departure is the color and material of the textile, as well as its inherent traits and appeal. Existentia Lunae is a circular tale in which the sculptures can be seen as materialized figures sprung from the informal gestures of the paintings.The opposite may also be the case. <img width="2671" height="3086" width_o="2671" height_o="3086" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/b601bba1323a6e64934d70d2abceb16e44cf9ce27fe50211db86288ae56eb09e/IMG_2910.jpeg" data-mid="1400732" border="0" /> Hornstull Metro Station,the pedestrian tunnel under Långholmsgatan.  28 December 2024 - 31/1 2025 Nyårslöftet Medverkande medlemmar är:Katarina Andersson Katrin von RettigAstrid Bergdahl Rosa HäggbomMelania PomanteHåkan BringHeidi Edström Robin van WijkEric SundevågMatilda LövgrenLisa MorrisseyMalin Arnedotter BengtssonJonathan Widegren🤞🤞🤞Utställningen pågår hela januari så passa på att svänga förbi! <img width="2788" height="2474" width_o="2788" height_o="2474" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/2ab1297d83826948215ccbb2e150f96389816915ee2de961235f135ba533d939/IMG_2232.jpeg" data-mid="1390038" border="0" /> Hornstull Metro Station,the pedestrian tunnel under Långholmsgatan  1 - 27 December&nbsp; Prettiosa Explosion Lena Flodman Under många år har Lena Flodman samlat sopor av leksaker som flutit iland på en strand i Italien.Av dessa sopor bygger hon skulpturer som sedan genom en avgjutningsprocess blir till färgrika figuriner.Skulpturerna som är lekfulla, allvarliga och kråmar sig i en mängd färger och guldglasyr vill samtidigt påminna oss om den galna konsumismen som skenar.Plasten som inte bryts ned i naturen på många hundra år.Flodman samlar in plastobjekten och ger föremålen ett nytt liv där dess ursprung knappast är synligt längre.Dessa mindre skulpturer är också modeller till offentliga gestaltningar där de uppförstoras och blir monumentala statyer på gator och torg.Alla verk i hyllan är till salu.

Freja BurgessIt was a Cuckoo Wrasse that struck me in the sleepy town of Salhus, outside of Bergen, Norway. Lifeless, yet glowing exuberantly, this wildly exotic fish lay slumped on the pier with bulbous eyeballs, like little bubbles ready to pop, having swollen in the afternoon sun. Neon blue and tangerine orange, this marvellous fish had been rejected by the three young fisherman at the other end of the pier. Intrigued by this beautiful, wee monster, I sought to discover what other creatures swum in the dark depths of the Norwegian sea.These textile sculptures are created from paintings depicting fish that live in Norwegian water, printed onto silk satin fabric.The shoal of fish invites tales to be imagined, having been confronted by a giant beetroot, tossed into the sea by an enraged allotmenteer.Freja Burgess is a british textile artist based in Stockholm and Oslo. Her creative process incorporates a combination of techniques and materials; dyeing, silk screen printing and painting onto textiles, as well as working with photography, collage and clay. <img width="1080" height="1350" width_o="1080" height_o="1350" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/39fc23403dbe0edd4500ad798b2aeb0be46cd76345f3c9b1c24726da302e218f/466379296_18017608022626769_6871117173926029427_n.jpg" data-mid="1384500" border="0" /> Opening 02.11.202415.00 - 16.00 Hornstull Metro Station,the pedestrian tunnel under Långholmsgatan  31 Oktober – 10 November&nbsp; Speglingar &nbsp;Crum Heaven Högbergsgatan 38Medverkande konstnärer: Camila Manuelsdotter Pino, Hanna Havdell, Siri Hagerfors, Linnea Brisling, Zoi Johansson Med stöd från Stockholmstad <img width="799" height="800" width_o="799" height_o="800" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/f4a8fbcb50bae3cc1a0287fe8b6c36554f5721a4fa8d7f6ce7906b4b9b25612c/Skarmavbild-2024-10-30-kl.-23.30.40.png" data-mid="1382790" border="0" />  SEPTEMBER 2024WEAR A Best Before Colelctives member exhibition at Gallery K18, Stockholm VERNISSAGE20 september 17:00 - 20:00I utställningen “WEAR” har vi chansen att visa verk från åtta konstnärer som reflekterar över vad en kropp kan bära.

Born in Gothenburg in 1989 and now based in Stockholm, Walker is an artist, stylist, and creative director whose practice transcends the boundaries between art and fashion. Engaged with the dynamics of prestige and commerce, her body of work resists easy classification. In her exploration of glass, she delves into the complex relationship between body and material, control and chaos, offering a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional forms that resonates with the sensibilities of the current exhibition.

They write prose and poetry as well as create installations incorporating sculptures, found materials, and viscous substances. Vikström’s investigations into the transformative potentials of wetness, leakages, and fluidity serve as the foundation for telling stories of self, transformation, desire, otherness, and togetherness from a queer perspective. They are interested in concepts of the self as porous and mutable, continually made and remade through encounters with the surrounding world. These encounters involve exchanges that leave traces on one another, such asstaining, contaminating, making out, exchanging fluids, binding inside to outside. Frida Agerhus Vikström (b. 1995) holds an MFA from Bergen Art Academy (2024). They live and work between Bergen and Copenhagen. @fvkstr_ ___ Frida Agerhus Vikström has been invited by curator Laus Østergaard to create a site specific work at Best Before Collective.<img width="1440" height="1441" width_o="1440" height_o="1441" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/08114a9568934e8a23c498124d461ad9fcb63bfa0a7312bcf3dd3b60d9fa0a46/455608272_18006917219626769_1914037065996052183_n.jpg" data-mid="1375150" border="0" /><img width="1440" height="1440" width_o="1440" height_o="1440" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/3208117867312c13db581fd2f849239cbac20095c32f3da380768933aed65f0e/455948754_18006917201626769_2965358030262316863_n.jpg" data-mid="1375152" border="0" /><img width="1440" height="1440" width_o="1440" height_o="1440" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/d9b91c69f588e27b7ccf7cd4032822f2def1da401e652de66bcf0ea2b359d352/455942401_18006917210626769_2183467727437358808_n.jpg" data-mid="1375151" border="0" />Presented by Best Before Collective at T-Hornstull, exhibition is open until the beginning of September!  JULI 2024 Saga Holmkvist“Angrepp” Med skörhet som utgångspunkt utforskar Saga Holmkvist inneboende egenskaper och potentialer inom olika material.

Jag gör detta genom att använda skogen som bas i min praktik, att samla svampar och växter att färga mina garner med. Jag ser det som ett sätt att ge materialet liv, att överföra skogens magi till garnet. Resultatet är figurativa bildvävar, där jag diskuterar frågor kring dikotomier som kultur/natur, heligt/profant och människa/djur. Träskmarschen är en monumental väv tänkt att svälja betraktaren, på samma sätt som ett landskap gör. Det är en berättelse om evolution och att vantrivas i civilisationen. &nbsp;ENG:Based on the contemporary sense of meaninglessness and the idea that this meaning can be found in "nature", I try to approach the wild around us and within us. I do this by using the forest as a base in my practice, I collect mushrooms and plants to dye my yarns with. I see this as a way to bring the material to life, to transfer the magic of the forest to the yarn. It results in figurative tapestries, where I discuss issues around dichotomies such as culture/nature, holy/profane and human/animal. The Swamp Marsh is a monumental weave meant to swallow the viewer, in the same way a landscape would. It's a story about evolution and being discontent in the civilization. <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/6b83a469c507076a3fe61d20f773afecf4d4706641ad3e26c79acb3818703e6d/Unknown-4.jpeg" data-mid="1345512" border="0" /><img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/bf05be8ce0799aca05c04f638f435ce5128a5f7a959710ae123a6d57eba83989/Unknown-3.jpeg" data-mid="1345513" border="0" /><img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/17456532552dd45e8accd186e59ed943f036b4f32336a0adf2532436c4578df0/Unknown-1.jpeg" data-mid="1345514" border="0" />Lisa Englund "Träskmarschen" - Welcome to T-Östermalmstorg, Stockholm.The pedestrian tunnel under Birger Jarlsgatan.  11/01 2024 - 31/1 2024Vera Halla ‘BRISTNINGAR’<img width="8158" height="4588" width_o="8158" height_o="4588" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/3c60703860d47954bf57e58b5b02c9b296462eb6a846a79936e1543b4602e6a8/VeraHalla_Bristningar-2.jpg" data-mid="1340342" border="0" /> du glömmer för att kunna sova på natten &amp; vakna på morgonen förtränger trycker undan älskar med stängda ögon du drömmer för att du inte orkar vakna &amp; all kraft redan används för att inte minnasI mitt konstnärskap använder jag hantverket som en process, ett arbete som drivs av det arv som textilarbete har, teknisk kunskap som är kodad i tyget och förs vidare från generation till generation. Kroppen bidrar med sin egen materialitet. Genom handens arbete blir kroppen som en bro mellan material och föremål. Genom att arbeta med textila tekniker i installation, skulptur och video undersöker jag hur vårat arbete och våra kroppar kodas och läses. Hur jag kan dela känslan av att systemet är riggat för att vi aldrig ska räcka till eller göra nog. Jag använder text som utgångspunkt i mitt arbete och skrivande sammanflätas med det praktiska arbetet, där de båda för det andra framåt. Etymologiskt flätas de samman, ordet text kommer från det latinska ordet texere (att väva), och för mig är det poetiska i arbetet centralt. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; - Vera Halla @roomforaloom &nbsp; &nbsp; Vernissage 11/01 2024 19:00Facebookevent:&nbsp;https://fb.me/ Welcome to T-Östermalmstorg, Stockholm.The pedestrian tunnel under Birger Jarlsgatan.  23/12 2023 - 3/1 2024Diversekonstnärerna Best Before Collective presenterar utställningen Diversekonstnärerna som håller öppet mellan 23 december och 3 januari!

The exhibition consists of a new installation where previous work is combined with elements that have been developed specifically for this public context. Familiar materials have been carefully handled, altered only slightly, then arranged as a temporary monument. A text frames the installation in a loop, without end or beginning. Sofie Markinhuhtas work revolves around care, responsibility and power, often using playfulness as a tactic for letting difficult issues come closer. Through her work she wishes to understand large complex social issues by holding them in relation to small everyday lives, looking at how they collide. Growing up in Sundsvall (SE), Markinhuhta holds a Bachelor from The Art Academy of Bergen and is now based in Oslo. Her work has been shown in Scandinavia, Finland, England and Serbia, this will be the first time exhibiting in Stockholm. <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/603a24d92b882f4f3eefb7bb02f10231fe32c38f3bb23cf0d905f20f493f376b/IMG_4938.jpeg" data-mid="1336978" border="0" /> The exhibition will take place from December 7 to 20, 2023, with the opening on Thursday, December 7, at 19:00.

Mitt arbete är en hyllning till mitt tonårsjag och ett erkännande att hon fortfarande finns kvar i mig och gör sig synlig ibland. Tonåringen är både stark och svag, kaxig och enormt osäker. Hon känner sig missförstådd och hon känner sig som universums mittpunkt.

She feels misunderstood, and she feels like the center of the universe.  AUG 01-30, 2023{FRAGMENTED}Exhibition with Elin Sofia Julius Svanelind and Rebecca Beyene... Elin SvanelindDet var i perioder av depressioner som konfrontationen med identitet, sexualitet ochmeningsskapande gjorde sig påtaglig. Jag började fundera kring den allmängiltiga leken och dess förkroppsligande av att tvingas in iförutbestämd form. Samhällets dragning till ett dualistiskt binärt tänkande som riskerar fråntaden mänskliga komplexiteten och reducera ner jaget till något ensamt och oföränderligt. I en serie målningar föreställande lekar låter jag obegripliga fragment flyta samman med ettoavbrutet skapande som står i föränderlighet. Genom ett måleriskt utövande som rör sig mellanatt koncentrera information och upplösa i abstrakta framträdanden skapa förskjutningar. Sfärersom i måleriska avbrott skapar andrum och öppnar upp för dialog för möjligheten om parallellarörliga varanden, som ett slags tolererande-motstånd. När politiken och ekonomin tycks frånstöta allt levande så ställde jag mig frågande ommänniskan står i frånstötande av sig själv. Ett frånstötande av intimitet, av det mänskliga när denbörjar organisera sig baserat på atomisering, på en konfektionsmentalitet, undereffektiviseringens vilseledande till masspsykos. Akten förblir oscillerande mellan olika framträdanden och genom tolerans slutligen är. Slutligenär när kroppar tolereras istället för att avfärdas i återvändsgränden om att någon måste förblibortglömd bakom en vinnare.Jag återgick till ateljén.Titel på målning: What would the world look like if there were no social order? What would ourlove look like if there were no fear? År 2021-2023. Akryl och olja på duk. &amp; Rebecca Beyene The act of movement is involved in all my work; it is either a step into the process, or an outcome. It is also a reflection of my personal experience of moving. Over the past 2 years I have worked around the topic of home. What a home can be? That it can vary from objects to people, or even just a feeling. I express this through installation, film, sound, sculptural forms, and drawing. To be frank it has come to the point where my choice of medium is limitless. If it works with my current project, I’ll use it. I test out different materials, and there is an intention behind the material as well. Some tend to carry a symbolic meaning that I relate to personally. However that same material can also have a universal meaning that I like to play with. Currently cardboard boxes are one of my main materials. I associated it to moving to different homes or homelessness, signs, cheap yet sturdy, recyclable. Working on a larger scale, I have created rooms or homes out of recycled cardboard boxes that allow the viewer to have a more physical experience. The piece shown with Best Before Collective, “Untitled”, less of a finished art piece and more of a sample of my process. The cardboard piece is stuck in a warm colored concrete square. It is an experimental piece but I love how a reused cardboard piece feels so valuable. I’m showing a fragment of the many fragments that are a part of my rooms and homes.  {FRAGMENTED}... <img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/15f44e6d22f6f40f9a17f8980efb4e880c486d564a83c5deae3a1ab908f72560/364195328_1411670976076047_2627818595009578517_n.jpg" data-mid="1305691" border="0" /><img width="1824" height="1691" width_o="1824" height_o="1691" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/f273493b1ec2c992cbdd9d0402822253596c62d574e0a73a927ff733dcfd6884/IMG_20230720_135155__01.jpg" data-mid="1305692" border="0" />The exhibition will then be open until 30-08-2023.

Thomas Hansson the first time I ever saw the ocean80x50cm My painting is driven forward by the notion of the image, I work in large-scale series held together by a visual and conceptual idea. I explore the contemporary mythology that emerges when you interpret everyday things symbolically; a search for meaning in what is often considered meaningless. The tone of my work is usually nostalgic and I take my inspiration from folk, popular culture and the everyday. Tomo Myrman The salmon familyPlastilina The salmon family is a playful interpretation of the traditional aquarium concept. The installation consists of a family of salmon fillets of different sizes, arranged in a way that creates the illusion of a living and swimming family. The installation challenges viewers' perceptions of what a fish tank can be, inspires them to think about the relationship between humans and the environment, and reminds us of the nuclear family in society. Tomo studies at Hyper Island and his artistry revolves mostly around mental health, empathy and freedom. Filip Rahim Hansson The Dead FishVinyl, spray paint, dimensions: L 55, H 33, W 15 cm The work "Dead Fish" is one of a series of works I have made in different contexts and constellations under the title "The sea dies". By portraying marine animals, I want to show how fish and other marine animals live in disharmony in our oceans simply because we humans intrude on their symbiosis and litter and change their demographics. All materials are recycled, found or leftovers that I have taken care of.Kajsa H. Bolve Floating Islandsculpture hanging on wall, 45x25x40 cm (hight x width x depth) This wall hung sculpture inspired by nature, scifi and organs is designed to resemble an extraterrestrial being hovering out from the wall. Kajsa H.Bolve, is an artist who received her education in Norway and Belgium and is currently based in Stockholm. She explores various artistic domains, both individually and as part of the artist duo KEJSER. At Fish Tank, KHBolve presents a wall-mounted floating sculpture that draws inspiration from the realms of science fiction and nature. The piece bears a resemblance to a heart of something otherworldly. Alternatively, it could be perceived as an island waiting to be unveiled. Tom-Hadar Elde Sippingouache, airbrush and flash on paper, 41x31cm A jumble of brushstrokes forms a seaweedy irregular pattern in the background of this slightly smaller painting. In the foreground, you can use your imagination to decipher an ominous smiley in the dark bubbles. Smiled straight into the viewer's eyes. Tom-Hadar Elde's painting is sketchy in mediums such as gouache, pastel and marker. Painterly, he shifts between different temperaments. From painting with pigment on the fingers to detailed work with long narrow brushes and calligraphy pens. The images often take the form of zoomed-in portraits with a sort of abstracted visor. The faces with clusters of movements and past which, unlike the representational moment, are created without detailed planning. There is also a relationship between creation and destruction baked into the process. Where layers of motifs on top of each other act as marks for, for example, time spans or moods. The thoughts surrounding the works revolve around three forms of consciousness, inner, outer and digital. The inner life of man from the outside and the digital humanoid vs the stone age man. It is a desire to understand other people and oneself from a perspective of our time. Were you who you are today 1000 years ago? Moves between being a head, a body or a pair of eyes with a scrolling thumb. Jonathan Widegren Pilfisk A sculpture template / sketch in clay, to possibly be cast in other materials Belinda Morén The immortal jellyfishTextile och plasticTurritopsis Dohrnii is the name of an immortal jellyfish that can reverse its aging process. Being able to undergo a process called transdifferentiation, instead of dying it can revert back to a polyp and begin the lifecycle all over again. It’s the only animal in the world that is known to be able to reverse its life cycle. Belinda Morén's artwork revolves around topics such as nostalgia, identity, longing, belonging and community. In this work, ideas of mortality and belonging are addressed. Siri Hagerfors koralldigital Andrej Ujházy Gltithyfishj🐟🐠🦈Digital animation, 26 seconds 1024x600 Gltithyfishj🐟🐠🦈 is an animation about a shocking compression and expression of energy.

My sculptures are created through a dialogue between myself and the material, and they tend to be figurative with a surrealistic twist. Elbe Wallin Fisken20x30 cm exkl. ram, akvarell och gouache. To be a fish. Dream about corals. Look at oneself in plastic slowly beginning to reflect and take the shape of one’s body. Stella Lindhagen GastonSize for one bell jar on a pedestal is 77cm in height and 18cm i width. The sculpture “Gaston” consists of two inanimate objects preserved in a bell jar. Their wish is to fool you into believing that they are living flowers. Hence the bell jar, usually meant to preserve life. Their efforts somewhat fails, giving them an uncanny, surreal appearance. Astrid Bergdahl Three stoneware vases, inspired by medicine bottles from the 1920s in combination with wild lichen, close like a time capsule around a story about time and the movement of nature.Astrid Bergdahl is fascinated by history that reflects humanity and she applies an often anachronistic time perspective in her narratives. Mio Elias HalvarssonOdjur och KorallThe beast's dimensions are 6x7x34 cm and the coral's 22x27x20 cm. Mio Elias Halvarsson is a ceramic sculptor and craftsman based in Stockholm. His work moves in the natural and unnatural world where he relates to queer perspectives on bodies. In the absence of belonging, he builds new worlds where deviant beings can have a place. <img width="2000" height="1500" width_o="2000" height_o="1500" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/c429931fbce715a0fd93e9778a6a7b61bafbc68af29ad9d099f3d1dc4cff4c68/FISHTANK-BestBeforeCollective.jpg" data-mid="1305123" border="0" /> You will find us at: T-Östermalmstorg (Stockholm), in the pedestrian tunnel under Birger Jarlsgatan.  JUNE 02-30, 2023 Best Before Collective presents  𝙿𝚞𝒍𝒔𝒆 an exhibition with 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗾𝘃𝗶𝘀𝘁 &amp; 𝗙𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗷𝗼 •._.••´¯``•.¸¸.•By inviting Jesper and Fernanda, we want to open up a route for a continuous conversation about sexuality, pleasure and self-love from a female and queer perspective, situated in the public space. With the hot pulse pounding loudly through your own body, and the pulse of the subway, the movement, and the constant struggle to navigate, to find one’s own unique way and rhythm when facing a predetermined path. .•´´¯`••._.••._.••´¯``•. 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗾𝘃𝗶𝘀𝘁, born in 1996 in Bjursås, Dalarna, works with identity as a form of therapy. He is interested in undefinable and queer identities and explores how these identities are conditioned in society through aesthetics, materiality, and narrative structures. Jesper starts from his own biography and lets relationships, structures, and systems he encounters move between the private and public spheres in his art.Through various media such as painting, film, installation, and sculpture, Jesper searches for loopholes to escape the heterosexual and white logic that dominates the public sphere. In his work, he places great importance on the choice of materials and tonality. He gathers objects, scenes, folklore, and documents laden with his own history from his surroundings and let his additions constitute an additional layer. The conceptual and intuitive elements are both involved here, complementing and informing each other. `•.¸¸.•´´¯`••._.••._.••´¯``•.¸¸.•` 𝗙𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗷𝗼 is a Mexican maker, trained as a designer and working mainly in craft-art. She is particularly interested in the relationship between art/craft/design, culture, and behavior. Her work is normally centered on the body and social dynamics, but the themes fluctuate from death to collectiveness. She believes that the world can be a better place when using creative fields as tools for change towards a more empathetic and inclusive society. Does making up headaches sound like a popular joke? Maybe it says something about the inability to talk to partners about what brings them pleasure?These tools are the excuse to talk about the ”taboo” of female sexual pleasure (not sex but pleasure). It is important to note that THESE ARE NOT PENIS MINI-MONUMENTS. The shape follows the function and ergonomics of people with vaginas. Also, penises are normally attached to a person, and this project is all about self-love. `•.¸¸.•´´¯`••._.••._.••´¯``•.¸¸.•` `•.¸¸.•´´¯`••._.••._.••´¯``•.¸¸.•` <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/b4e0687ff3b8dbd2b7ea2579d65556c22ff697201bdd24c4c4a2d74e374d0207/June_Group_Pulse_Best_Before_Collective-40.jpg" data-mid="1293116" border="0" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/6cb1f94ca2ec8f4ed09eece3de928b96c2b8d9bfae96d02ba5b9762ae016e4c3/June_Group_Pulse_Best_Before_Collective-41.jpg" data-mid="1293117" border="0" /><img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/e678ebcf05aa8af3c861df18746ed07e98ccbe8bc39d33320fd2857583d444a5/June_Group_Pulse_Best_Before_Collective-34.jpg" data-mid="1293115" border="0" />You will find us at: T-Östermalmstorg (Stockholm), in the pedestrian tunnel under Birger Jarlsgatan.  MAY 10-14, 2023 Best Before Collective presents  Iris Nelly Matilda Bengtsson‘Next Time We Meet On Broadway’ at Supermerket Art Fair 2023 Iris Nelly Matilda Bengtsson (1992, Sweden) works with the relationship to memory and the borderlands between seriousness and play. Her works are often poetic with a fragile and embarrassing side. During the last years she has been working with scenography, narratives and improvisation of dialogues in an attempt to see how the vulnerability of childhood penetrates into one's adult life. The musical presented at Supermarket 2023 is a personal timeline projected on the idea of the musical, as a meditation on how life fails us in our search for the epic. Best Before Collective is a newly formed artist-run initiative based in Stockholm.

Through it, I strive for a kind of mutual understanding of the material - to get to know the glass in order to be able to communicate back through it. In building that understanding, the physical interaction becomes important: power, speed, rhythm, rotation, timing, etc. In this way, I have developed an intuitive method for exploring atmospheric moods that arise from, interact with and reflect a mood of my own mind. The method is based on the properties of the glass: the plasticity of the temporarily molten glass gives an extensible formability; the transparency provides visual legibility of structure, form and layers, but also an honesty in that nothing can be hidden. The intuitive is developed in the craft - the blowing and the rotating. The objects can be read as heads: partly as psychological beings with several layers of meaning; partly as fleshy, with organs, membranes and nerves. For me, the creation of the objects means an opportunity to reflect my own mind. The finished objects, on the other hand, project their layers of meaning onto the viewer, through how they read them. The glass works in different ways in the finished objects, by allowing the objects to be viewed from different aspects: outside, inside and projection. These are at the same time connected by the transparency of the glass and the light that is refracted through it. ● &nbsp;Outside - The outside shows external form, surface, a vessel, a body. The object appears as the external image of itself. ● &nbsp;Inside - Thanks to the transparency of the glass, we are invited to see from the inside out; to take part in the image lived from within. ● &nbsp;Projection - The light and its image fall on the surroundings and the viewer. The light source, glass and projection surface also form a spatial relationship together.

We echo here. We are an eco hall, furnished with absurdities and potency. Now we linger here, and we listen. It is said that you still walk here. Let us pass the waters, over the unseen depths.

Genom en serie översättningar – från text till teckning, från teckning till foto, från foto till väv – har dom skapat en personlig textil gestaltning av en tusenårig mytologisk sångsamling. Utdrag ur Poetiska Eddan, Vǫluspá 57. Upp ser hon komma för andra gången jorden ur havet ljuvligt grön. Forsar faller, och där flyger örnen, den som från fjället fångar fiskar.

FÅR DRÖMMAR PLATS? är ett konstprojekt initierat av Sebastian Rudolph Jensen och drivs ihop med konstduon Speakerbreather, Carl Norén och konstnären August Kroon Andersson. Projektet har sedan i maj byggt offentliga trämonument på olika platser i Göteborg och som skapas ihop med frivilliga. Projektet lyfter kulturella platser: dåtid, nutid och framtid. RIP TRUCKSTOP! RIP FOLKTEATERN? RIP KONSTEPIDEMIN? Platser som har försvunnit, är hotade eller kanske kommer att försvinna i framtiden. Monumentet har byggts upp vid hotade kulturplatser utan tillstånd för att pressa staden till en dialog och för att uppmärksamma vad som pågår. Det första monumentet sattes upp i maj 2022 vid Drömmarnas Kaj i Göteborg. Drömmarnas Kaj är en fri och kreativ kulturmiljö i stadens periferi som vuxit fram under sju år. I maj kom beskedet från staden att platsen skulle rivas och ersättas av en parkeringsplats. Monumentet monterades upp under några timmar av brädor, rep, stålrör och ett gammal piano. I december kom beskedet att det tagits ett politiskt beslut om att bevara den unika kulturmiljön vid Drömmarnas Kaj. I december 2022 anordnade Får drömmar plats en manifestation för kulturen och för att stötta Folkteatern i Göteborg som hotades att bli vräkta av Folkets Hus Göteborg. Best Before Collective har bjudit in projektet FÅR DRÖMMAR PLATS?! till vår lilla utställningsmonter i Stockholm för att uppmärksamma hur kulturen under lång tid har skuffas undan och hur viktiga platser fortsätter att hotats runt om i hela vårt långa land. Här tvingas drömmarna in i ett alldeles för trångt utrymme. Ett kolossalt monument intryckt i ett skyltfönster. Syrebrist. Det håller på att sprängas. Dåtid, nutid och framtid. Vilka platser har försvunnit? Vilka är hotade? Vilka kan bli hotade? En dystopi. En potentiell verklighet? FÅR DRÖMMAR PLATS? är hoppfulla konstaktioner i en mörk tid där kulturen sakta kvävs. 14/1-23 annordnar vi en manifestation, läs mer här!  RIP FOLKTEATERN I GÖTEBORG!?!? RIP FYLKINGEN!?!

TING WANG Ting Wang is graduate student of Craft! Program at Konstfack. She creates installations using performative objects to communicate her perspective on social topics including identity, social re-orientation and vulnerable groups in society. In order to achieve the desired expressiveness, Ting dedicates to exploring interdisciplinary approaches through hands-on experiments with materials and craft techniques, as well as research on crafts from different cultures and different historical phases of development. Her work often plays with the encounter between traditional craft and contemporary aesthetics, the meetings between various cultures and the collision of emotional expression and rational narrative. @tinauhlin &amp; ELLEN ADUOFUA BERNARDSSON Som förstfödd fick jag namnet Aduofua, efter min farfar. Jag har bara sett ett gammalt urblekt fotografi av honom. Under sin livstid arbetade han med trähantverk. När jag först kom i kontakt med keramik fick jag veta att min gammelmormor och hennes döttrar försörjde sig som krukmakare och på handvävda korgar. Denna vetskap har kommit att betyda mycket för mig då min uppväxt varit fokuserad på integration och därmed en separation från mitt arv. Trots den begränsade kontakt jag haft med mina släktingar, binder hantverkets länk oss samman. Mitt huvudmaterial är keramik och jag arbetar både med skulpturer och med bruksgods. Tidigare har jag utbildat mig på Mullsjö Folkhögskola, Capellagården och läser nu på Konstfack. https://www.aduofua.com/about @aduofua <img width="1181" height="1076" width_o="1181" height_o="1076" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/c401f2f62300bcddf3d92b5456bdb66ccfd7083590de7b82efcd2559de9fe2bc/received_466682212263086.jpeg" data-mid="1246519" border="0" /> You may visit our gallery in the pedestrian tunnel beneath Birger Jarlsgatan, Östermalmtorg metro station in Stockholm (SWE).  NOVEMBER 01 - 29, 2022 Nadja Akbar &amp; Sissela Nordling Blancoat Best Before Collective - gallery! Nadja Akbar (1998) is an artist and works with sculptures primarily in glass, ceramic and metal. She investigates nostalgia as a process of grief and imitation as a way to fit in. When the link between the emotional world is lost, a child also is forgotten. Our childhood memory fades away but objects will remain. Nadja explores sculpture on a physical and metaphysical level through light, illusion and tactility. The urge to collect sentimental objects and why we value these seemingly insignificant things. Sissela Nordling Blanco (1988) is a graphic designer driven by curiosity, concepts and the will to experiment. She is interested in exploring the meeting between graphic design and textile with colors that stand out.&nbsp;Sissela lets questions and stories about migration, queerness and feminism take space in her work. Where dreams of a different society can grow even in hopeless times, by challenging the norm and creating a place where gravity and playfulness can coexist. <img width="1500" height="1244" width_o="1500" height_o="1244" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/c627431efb38d8b76891578cf68f7e53eb87a019416817a07b2bd713fa802f75/IMG_6582.jpg" data-mid="1246524" border="0" /> You may visit our gallery in the pedestrian tunnel beneath Birger Jarlsgatan, Östermalmtorg metro station in Stockholm (SWE).  OCTOBER 01 - 30, 2022 A group showby BBC Membersat Best Before Collective - gallery!

Under många år har Lena Flodman samlat sopor av leksaker som flutit iland på en strand i Italien.Av dessa sopor bygger hon skulpturer som sedan genom en avgjutningsprocess blir till färgrika figuriner. Skulpturerna som är lekfulla, allvarliga och kråmar sig i en mängd färger och guldglasyr vill samtidigt påminna oss om den galna konsumismen som skenar.Plasten som inte bryts ned i naturen på många hundra år. Flodman samlar in plastobjekten och ger föremålen ett nytt liv där dess ursprung knappast är synligt längre. Dessa mindre skulpturer är också modeller till offentliga gestaltningar där de uppförstoras och blir monumentala statyer på gator och torg. Alla verk i hyllan är till salu.

En triptyk-väv gjord i digital jacquard teknik - motivet är baserat på deras läsning av skapelseberättelsen i den Poetiska Eddan, Vǫluspá. Genom en serie översättningar – från text till teckning, från teckning till foto, från foto till väv – har dom skapat en personlig textil gestaltning av en tusenårig mytologisk sångsamling.

Her practice explores cultural creations of nature, folklore and magic. She grew up in plantation forests, and feels a kinship with the trees of her childhood, who raised her yet silently disappear under the teeth of chainsaws.

We are a diverse group of artists, curators, crafters, art enthusiasts, and other kinds of creators, with different backgrounds and skills. We use this wide range of abilities to learn from each other while producing exhibitions and other art activities together, with the aspiration to highlight art and artists that might not be shown in established galleries or institutions. We host two member exhibitions each year, in January and July, showcasing work by our members. For other exhibitions throughout the year, members are invited to propose artists to exhibit. Our open production group puts together the yearly exhibition program, after which we divide into smaller working teams who plan and run each show. Since 2022, we have been producing one exhibition per month. Our exhibitions are displayed in a small window gallery located inside the Hornstull subway station in Stockholm. In addition to the regular exhibition program, we also organize other projects, exhibitions, and happenings outside the gallery space, often initiated by our members. These include events such as the UÄÄÄH! performance festival and exchange collaborations with other artist-run galleries. Our aim is to be a fun and supportive learning platform for our members, a space for sharing knowledge and experience about running an art space, hosting exhibitions, applying for funding, and putting our many different skills into practice. By bringing together a wide community of creative people, we support each other’s growth through collaboration and collective initiatives—whether in the gallery window or in unexpected places beyond it.  Where are we? We are mainly active in and around Stockholm. Our gallery is located in a display window at T-Hornstull (in the pedestrian tunnel under Långholmsgatan).&nbsp; AccessibilityThe gallery is located in the pedestrian thunnel under Långbolmsgatan by the subway station T-Hornstull. You can reach it both from the subway below or from the street above with elevators.  Who are we?Albin Josephson Alena ZabolotinaAnnette HammarénBelinda MorénCamila Manuelsdotter PinoErik AronssonGunilla DagaHedda SöderlundHeidi EdströmHåkan BringIris BengtssonJennifer BergstenJosefin LjungmanKatarina AnderssonKatrin von RettigLinnéa BrislingLisa MorrisseyMalin Arnedotter BengtssonMelania PomanteMollie RönnbergMorris Åkermalm EdbergPer ForsströmRosa HäggbomSanne Lovén RolénSara MelinSiri Bertling WiikSofia Romberg The boardHeidi Edström (Chair)Lisa Morrissey (Treasurer)Iris Bengtsson (Secretary)Linnéa Brisling (Board member)Malin Arnedotter Bengtsson (Board member)Belinda Morén (Board member)Håkan Bring (Deputy board member)Erik Aronsson (Deputy board member)Katarina Andersson (Deputy board member) &nbsp;  Sounds fun? &nbsp;&nbsp;Read more about how to become a member here&nbsp;  What are we?
