2024

Isabella Ducrot 8 Nov - 7 Dec 2024 Θaβros A little over a year ago Isabella Ducrot’s book “The Checkered Cloth” was gifted to me by Katarina Sjögren at Belenius after I’d given a vivid account of my obsession with vintage checkered shirts that I’ve bought since the late 1980s. Reading that book and writing this text has... Read more

Spring Collection

Fatima Moallim 27 Sep - 26 Oct 2024 At the heart of Fatima Moallim’s practice lies drawing. It is the red thread that ties together her artistry, always present in installations, sculpture, and performance—when it is not the very essence, as in these works in pencil and oil pastel on paper. In the presented works, the line is... Read more

Compass

Laleh Kazemi Veisari 23 Aug - 21 Sep 2024 There are works of art that impose a sense of existential challenge. They disturb and ask, pointing to realms of ethics and the unknown. What will I hear, loose, know – if I expose myself to their way of speaking? The encounter with artist Laleh Kazemi Veisari’s works leaves me... Read more

Phosphenes

Kyungseo Lee 10 May - 8 Jun 2024 Everything, and nothing but sunscreen Recently at an artist talk at another gallery in town, the artist, a figurative painter, thanked me publicly for having been among the people in the art scene to have pushed for figurative painting at time when its presence was evidently very scarce.

Picnics and Parties

Caroline Wong 5 Apr - 4 May 2024 The first time I engaged in conversation with Caroline Wong for the writing of this very text, I encountered her through my laptop screen. Her studio backdrop featured one of her large-scale paintings and it seemed as if the artist joined one of her exclusively female circles. I had been... Read more

B: painting myself back to Y

Leif Elggren 1 - 23 Mar 2024 A Blind Seeing by Camilla Larsson In an essay written in 2017, Leif Elggren described how his work with the colours yellow and black 'generated new means to look upon the world'. In 2022, I curated the group exhibition Their happiest days were the dark and vast days of rain,... Read more

Inside Out

Trude Viken 26 Jan - 24 Feb 2024 Encountering Trude Viken's art is a breathtaking journey into the advanced processes of decay. In her work the rot has attached itself to the selfie-fixated ego and our self-reflective times. In a world where 92 million selfies are taken daily, her Francis Bacon like distorted faces and naïve mugshots are... Read more

draw a door in the wall and slip through it

Astrid Kajsa Nylander, Beatrice Marchi, Frieda Toranzo-Jaeger, Tanja Nis-Hansen 25 Nov - 21 Dec 2023 Curated by Astrid Kajsa Nylander. “ Inspired by the autistic and infantile energy that sprouts and resists the processes of discipline and control of the body, affect, and sexuality, this manifesto is a theoretical and poetic attempt to do what is done in cartoons: draw a door in the wall...

Nine Lives

Sally J. Han 27 Oct - 18 Nov 2023 B. 1993 in Shenyang, China. Lives and works in New York City. Here’s the tea; this is a gallery that really likes cats. A hope to at some point fill the gallery with cats is one I’ve been privy to before. So, while I haven’t been involved in this exhibition,... Read more

I take the words of one language, I put them into the blender of my head

Willem Andersson 23 Sep - 21 Oct 2023 A conversation between Willem Andersson and Sofia Curman How would you describe the paintings in this exhibition? It's so hard for me to put what I do into words. I think that my world of words and images are unusually divided, there is a compact wall between them.... Read more

Microcosmos

Elsa Thoresen 25 Aug - 9 Sep 2023 This side of reality Elsa Thoresen’s late paintings When you moved on, among frightening constellations and left me on this side of Jordan you took a half finished homeland with you – Kjell Espmark, from Skapelsen (The Creation) The suite Microcosmos contains 20 paintings created by Elsa Thoresen between...

Everything Except Itself

Emma Bjurström 25 May - 22 Jun 2023 A conversation between Emma Bjurström and Sofia Curman Sofia: In earlier series you have used painting as a method to research your own family history as well as art history. You have created a space in the spotlight for what usually is unseen and under-valued, like the series where you... Read more

White Drops

Tobias Pils, Barbara Levittoux-Świderska, Seth Price, curated by Regina Fiorito 28 Apr - 20 May 2023 WHITE DROPS I once found myself lost in a city, its faces, sounds, scents, and crevices. Overrun by the incessant stream of fragmentary images that pass through the senses and seep into the mind. Faced with overwhelming stream of impressions, Rilke spoke in his letters of slowly learning to recognize... Read more

You Were Bigger Than the Sky, You Were More Than Just A Short Time

Chances Are Great That A Delicacy Of Perception And Essential Truth Are Not Attainable

Rina Eide Løvaasen 12 Nov - 10 Dec 2022 To approach what is a densely layered exhibition by Rina Eide Løvaasen, an apt starting point would be to engage the mind and eye on the title for more than just a brief second. What you could extract from it is that any pursuit of wholiness regarding a matter is... Read more

Nothing is bigger

Isabella Ducrot 6 Oct - 5 Nov 2022 Cosmic Tapestry Isabella Ducrot By Joanna Persman The small things … nothing is bigger. Imagine space as a continuously expanding, huge fabric. Billions of invisible threads connecting planets, stars and galaxies. Crossroads forming. Gaps are as important as anything else. The past is the finished part of the infinite... Read more

Tanning’s touch

Dorothea Tanning Valentin Carron Ani Gurashvili Anna Hulačová Iwo Panasiewicz Jaime Welsh Guan Xiao, Curated by Domenico de Chirico 6 Sep - 1 Oct 2022 If someone were to tell me that I have twenty years left to live and ask me how I would like to spend them, I would answer, “Give me two hours of activity a day, and I will spend the remaining twenty-two in dreams [...] assuming I can remember them.”...

Trude Viken at Enter Art Fair, Copenhagen

Trude Viken 25 - 28 Aug 2022 The Norwegian artist Trude Viken (b. 1969) is a ‘colourist’ without restrictions.

Midnight Activities

Trude Viken 9 Apr - 6 May 2022 Trude Viken’s path is a fairy tale. A story about the good things that our ubiquitously connected world may bring. She lacks formal education from an art academy and is perhaps therefore considered an outsider. On one hand. On the other hand, she can be considered the eminent debutant that... Read more

In Waiting

Humlan Lange 5 Mar - 2 Apr 2022 When Humlan Lange went to the Royal Institute of Art in the eighties, painting was supposed to be fierce. Paitning little characters? I think not! It was supposed to be big, flaunty and with a lot of colour. One probably dares to say, that it is the antithesis of the... Read more

STATE

Fatima Moallim 27 Jan - 19 Feb 2022 STATE: Carrying the four elements in a breast pocket On the art of Fatima Moallim Spatial experience is at the core of the art of Fatima Moallim.

Stasis field

Julius Göthlin 9 Oct - 5 Nov 2021 In Julius Göthlin’s third solo exhibition at Belenius, there is a conscious nod to the works from the two previous exhibitions, that converts to an expansion where gravity pulls the total towards the middle and makes everything meet, thus becoming one. The repetitive and confined are mixed with an organic,... Read more

Willem Andersson 20 - 29 May 2021 Curator: Sophie Påhlson-Möller By appointment only In the building and construction industry there is a multitude of materials that exist for clear purposes.

A case against entropy

Willem Andersson 12 Oct - 2 Nov 2019 English below Låt oss för att nå förståelse av begreppet entropi börja med vad det ordagrant betyder. Själva ordet kommer från grekiskan och är sammansatt av dels, 'en-' som är kortformen för energi, samt 'trope'som betyder förändring. Energiförändring. Willem Andersson har i denna soloutställning tagit sikte för att undersöka entropin... Read more

The Horsetail, Sealed and Unsealed

Inez Jönsson 11 May - 1 Jun 2019 Inez Jönsson's new work can be concluded as being pictograms symbolizing Nordic minimalism in its true essence. The colours stems from what can be found in the Swedish forest and the symbolic language testifies to a unity where the fragments in themselves doesn't need to be an entity, but together...

Backdrop

Emma Bjurström 13 Apr - 23 Jun 2019 At Six, Brunkebergstorg 6 With a touchdown in art history Bjurström initiates a dialogue with the early modernists.

If Jah Be For Us, Who Can Be Against Us

Michael Rupini 19 Jan - 16 Feb 2019 Swedish text below Michael Rupinis' colourful works might be perceived as consisting of a jumble of letters or symbols, written randomly and lacking the periodic logic of how a book is read with structured lines. It signals and reminds us of the using of tags found in graffiti culture and... Read more

Absentminded deformation

Emma Bjurström 22 Nov - 22 Dec 2018 There is a movement, much like a whisper from the ancient elevated classics via the masters of our time that flows through Emma Bjurströms painting. She amplifies and throws new light directly at that which previously existed in the background. By her hand it ends up in the foreground and... Read more

Julius Göthlin 6 Sep - 6 Oct 2018 'A wavelength is a measure of distance between two identical peaks (high points) or troughs (low points) in a wave - a repeating pattern of traveling energy like light or sound.' In W A V E L E N G T H, Julius Göthlin creates the desire to wake up... Read more

Text

Hilde Retzlaff 17 May - 17 Jun 2018 When gazing upon the works of Hilde Retzlaff, a re-arrangement of the soul often takes place: meaningless rubbish, seamless without cause left somewhere, suddenly appears as a possible morpheme in a ghostlike language of presence. Consider the Kafkaesque idea that the Great wall of China actually was meant as a... Read more

Justitia

Karl Norin 14 Apr - 13 May 2018 It is extraordinary how much actually can be said about the works of Karl Norin in this exhibition. A lot of it is quite evident - for example how decorative and aesthetic they are, and yet this needs to be said nonetheless, as it shows the peculiar dynamics which makes... Read more

Ulla Wiggen

Ulla Wiggen 18 Jan - 17 Feb 2018 I think all paintings are somewhat self ­portraits. 'There's so much within one's own, you've not yet put into words, what you're aware of is a small tip of everything that's in it' Silently, the brain spins dexter on the wall in Ulla Wiggens studio in Lidingö. Operated by a... Read more

Jag har spytt tusen år av ord

Linnéa Sjöberg 17 Nov - 22 Dec 2017 The materials in Linnéa Sjöberg's works meld, fuse together, and layer the past into a non-linear narrative where yesterday is as present as today and where time utterly collapses. 'To see is to enter a universe of beings which display themselves, and they would not do this if they could... Read more

Monochromantic

Timothy Wilson 21 Oct - 12 Nov 2017 Not yet an absolute figure in the context we usually call 'the (art) scene', Timothy Wilson operates in the borderlands between light design, sculpture and performance. This brings him a measure of independence as well as determination. Shown previously at Söderdepån 2041 in Södermalm (a run down old central garage... Read more

Anchor and Relay

Sara Wallgren 21 Sep - 15 Oct 2017 Känslan i Sara Wallgrens verk har en uttalad materialitet. Jag tänker på funktionella konstruktioner vackert snickrade i trä. Och blyerts; teckningarnas uppdelade ytor fyllda av timmar, tecknade till ett flimmer. Men även akrylglas och kolpulver; litet mer genomsiktligt, liksom den luft som också spelar en roll för ibland knappt hörbara... Read more

Söderdepån 2041

Timothy Wilson 14 - 15 Sep 2017 Mörkt och smutsigt. För många år sedan det bultande, mullrande hjärtat för stadens linjetrafik. Idag står maskinerna som skulpturala rester, ett minne av en manuell värld, omkring 2031. Vid tiden för Det Stora Omstörtandet, när det totala kaoset rådde; började Stråldepartementet utvinna energi genom att från pol till pol skicka... Read more

Season of the Double Bind

3 - 22 Jun 2017 This exhibition displays a nuanced selection from five Swedish women (Lisa Trogen Devgun, Inez Jönsson, Klara Lidén, Hilde Retzlaff, Linnéa Sjöberg); each artist either supports or rejects the notion that they are products of their environment. Do they manage to escape influence-or lasso it? Trogen Devgun's work emphasizes risk-taking and... Read more

Fell into place

Willem Andersson 9 Mar - 9 Apr 2017 Enter Willem Anderssons hypnotic world, where there is a another world moving inside. This time, curiosity and orderly randomness prevails. Works being cut apart and separated, information added and removed, all in order to compose a new whole. Andersson releases control and allows the image to systematically, and gradually, emerge....

Sculptures

Carl Milles 3 Feb - 5 Mar 2017 Carl Milles (1875-1955) is undoubtedly one of our foremost sculptors during the 20th century. Few have had such great success and lasting effect of his oeuvre. A traditionalist yet seminal. Celebrated, but also contentious, his is still one of the brightest stars of the modernist sculpture sky. With his traditional... Read more

Micke Bergert 15 - 23 Dec 2016 Dear Micke, I hope that everything is well. It has been a long time since we last spoke and I miss you very much. I have to tell you about this crazy dream that I had. It started out in your old apartment, the one where I had my first... Read more

Leif Elggren 25 Nov - 23 Dec 2016 I meet with Leif in his studio where he provides visual explicatives. But Leif and I don't really require visuals; it's a formality. Inevitably, artists, curators, gallerists and critics get to know each other in insular community X. They become acquainted with the askew personalities, svelte styles and stubborn signatures...

Expand Stretch Distribute

Johanna Gustafsson Fürst 28 Oct - 20 Nov 2016 Throughout the twentieth century, museums were, for artists and philosophers, the cemeteries of art. The political grounds for this, says Boris Groys, lay in the strategy of the French Revolution to replace the usual destruction of the tyrant's monuments with their defunctionalisation in a museum. What once was living culture... Read more

Jakob Simonson 28 Oct - 20 Nov 2016 What happens when something is erased, crossed out or covered up? Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd posed this question with a simple statement: Y̶o̶u̶ ̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶n̶o̶w̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶w̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶I̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶c̶e̶n̶s̶o̶r̶e̶d̶.

Albin Looström 1 - 23 Oct 2016 Weather, elements, body and soul. Blobs cover the horizon. Tar-black drops of rain over putty grey skies. Cold winds and water smashing you in the face; an early morning slog to work. Maybe a sense of inner turmoil. I meet up with Albin in his temporary studio in Stockholm; a... Read more

1989

Przemek Pyszczek 1 - 24 Oct 2016 The Complexity of Honesty When I first talked with Przemek about his show, he mentioned the title, 1989, as both the year Communism collapsed and the title of Taylor Swift's latest album. This duality between an almost oppressively relevant historical period and a cultural product that encapsulates the very essence... Read more

Logogram

Hilde Retzlaff 1 - 25 Sep 2016 Logogram is both the title of the exhibition and the works. Logogram is a symbol, that stands for a word, but sometimes it represents something considerably smaller, a morpheme, and at other times, something bigger, an idea. One thing that is certain is that it never stands for a linguistic... Read more
