Posted @withregram • @misschiefs.se Atoosa Farahmand @atoosafarah is a multidisciplinary artist and cultural worker based in Sweden with an interest in politics, social issues and feminism. Atoosa is currently studying International Culture Project Leader at Kulturverkstan in Gothenburg. She mainly has worked in cultural institutions as a project leader, artistic director, choreographer and performer since arriving in Sweden as a refugee. Atoosa has widely exhibited and presented her work in solo and group settings around the world. Her solo exhibition KISS is on view at Linnégatan 4 until June 26th 💥💥💥

Graduate of Konstfack’s Bachelor of Fine Arts programme, Sarah Maria Yasdani’s Threshholds is currently showing at @galleriduerr. “The threshold offers a magical realism and allows performances to take place between dream and reality. An intangible architecture creates a spatial idea, an idea of difference, notation of rooms that exist without presence. A play between perception and imagination. An impossible synchronicity, two truths that oppose each other.” Thank you for the personal tour @yasdani.

@misschiefs.se month long takeover of the iconic space under the fountain in Sergels Torg. I wasn’t lucky enough to catch a performance as I went by, but keep a look out! @grebnellaw

New interview on Swedish Visual Artist/Filmmaker Theresa Traore Dahlberg on the blog. Portrait by Margareta Bloom Sandebäck. Pictures from Kalmar Art Museum by André Lindahl. @theresatraoredahlberg #linkinbio

Malin Pierre has recently graduated from Konstfack School of Arts and Crafts Stockholm with a B.A in ceramics and glass. She produces sculptural works of art using different materials and techniques, but her focus at the moment is glass. Her bachelor thesis “Hard Softness” is an investigation of glass as a material and the transformation from soft to hard. The original sculpture is made out of fabric with the inspiration from fashion houses and haute couture. The shapes and textures being abstract with the feel of soft textile. @malinpierrecraft

Visiting ceramicist Ingrid Unsöld at her studio in Södermalm. After graduating from her ceramic studies in Denmark, Ingrid worked in Interior Design for 10 years. She has now returned to her first love, ceramics. You can find her objects online on her website and at @tamburstore in Södermalm. In the first photo she holds part of the collection of plates on commission from a shop in Yokohama, Japan. Love the striped plates, and I did end up taking one back, see the last photo! @ingridunsold

Swede Sophia Edstrand’s jewellery and accessories are all hand embroidered in India using an ancient raised technique called Zardozi, translated into English- Gold work, referring to metal embroidery. Now living in Tokyo her designs can be bought online and here in Stockholm @svenskttenn where this photo was taken. If you would like to know more of her story, you can find my interview on the blog. @sophia203

The online @cprintjournal is run by brothers Ashik and Koshik Zaman. The duo works tirelessly to bring to attention the diversity of the Stockholm art scene. So much hard work, well done on your first print magazine! Posted @withregram • @cprintjournal [Cover reveal]

All pieces sold directly from the artists. Until May 29th at Linnegatan 4. @misschiefs.se

At the coolest art space in town, @misschiefs.se thrills as always. Always new, edgy, expressive, exciting. New exhibition Grunch. 5 women artists, @hannoia @fannyollas @saragewalt @piasimensen @irina.laaja will continue with another post, as 10 photos isn’t enough. On for 2 more weeks. Go see it!

Posted @withregram • @copenhagenceramics The exhibition “Bend, Bubble and Shine” at Hostler Burrows Gallery, New York @hostlerburrows shows

Designer and climate warrior Emma Olbers has consistently proven in both her work and in private to hold the highest sustainable standards. It is not surprising that she has been appointed as one of the flag bearers by the Swedish Institute for a new project, “Swedish Design Movement”. One of the aims is to push Sweden to the forefront of sustainable design, and inspire others in the process. “My focus when designing furniture is to be as environmentally friendly as possible, which for me is as low greenhouse gas emissions as possible. The choice of material is the most important, it accounts for 50% of a furniture’s total emission/CO2e. Longevity is another important parameter, and then they must be able to be recycled and repaired.” @emmaolbers

@acnestudios has done a collaboration with Danish ceramicist Betina Jørgensen with a limited edition “Face” collection. Although these pieces are only available at Acne Studios, @bettunika ‘s whimsical pieces are normally only sold through her Instagram account which is run by her daughter.

Sorry folks, away from Sweden at the moment so have been quiet here. But here is a post from Ashik Zaman of @cprintjournal on @theresatraoredahlberg latest exhibition in Kalmar. Posted @withregram • @cprintjournal Shifts (Theresa)

The artistic community here in Stockholm is filled with amazing, inspiring women. @theresatraoredahlberg artist, filmmaker, mother of two very young kids, and working for Swedish Television on art and culture documentaries. Interesting conversations at my kitchen table. Interview to come soon! But at the moment catch her stunning exhibition at Kalmar art museum.

Daniel Svahn is a Stockholm based multidisciplinary furniture designer and interior designer and artist working with both commercial and conceptual projects. “The past 2 years I have further developed my knack and passion for material reuse, up cycling and circular systems within the creative fields I roam in. With acclaimed projects such as “The New Goodies but Oldies” , “A New Paradigm”, and just recently this ReMake project with the municipality of Stockholm, I strive and aspire to highlight the possibilities of making new things from the old. A way forward for furniture and interior designers in the new paradigm that is circular economy, responsible consumption and production.” Seen here the book/expo shelf and room divider.

Posted @withregram • @stockholmvimi Got to hang with this warrior at her studio. @astrid_sylwan

Got my key today from artist Isa Andersson. With a BFA from Beckmans and MFA in design from Konstfack, Isa works sculpturally, investigating social structures and the relationships between body and material and the rooms they are in. “This is not a weapon but an art object. A comment, a symbol of being a girl, a woman today. I myself have walked home in the evening with my hand in my pocket clutching hard on the keys between my fingers as we have been taught to do. The closest thing at hand should something happen. It’s not that I need to kill animals or hunt for food, but in case I’m attacked on the way home. The fear of rape. This is the way girls and women have learnt to protect ourselves in society today. Very few men know this and unfortunately many non-males are not aware either. I have chosen to create keys that can act as a weapon. At the same time I wanted to add an element of elegance and playfulness in the object. An object that I would choose. An object that I and my body will be able to trust.” Isa will be showing at @liljevalchs Spring Salon. DM artist for purchase. @is.a.girl
