ISSUES

In this exhibition, a group of local artists whose art in one way or another, influence the others’, get their work shown separately. This is done in a rotating fashion.

Having made connections and friends in art education or in professional situations, this group of artists make art much from dialogue had with each other. They do not necessary come from Stockholm or even live here but do represent a part of a local scene. This exhibition will be showing a specific group of artists’ work but have each piece of art shown on it’s own. It is an attempt to give each piece the space and attention it deserves and to keep its context in mind but out of sight.
