Konsthall C opens up

Become part of one of Northern Europe's most exciting art organizations!

Konsthall C is special in its close connections between program and structure. Its form allows for experiments and changes that impact the organisation. The themes addressed in the exhibitions informs the way we operate as a collective. This is an invitation to our international community, to participate in the construction of a new type of art organisation.

Open call for residency- Transforming Bricks and Mortar

Konsthall C’s AiR-platform The Research Station welcomes artists, researchers, writers and activists to apply for our two upcoming residencies focusing on the transformative potential in building a decolonial art institution from the inside and out.

Application deadline is December 12, 2021 at 11 PM.

Open call for programmers

We are looking for programmers or designers with programming skills, or people interested in developing new forms of presenting art online, to create a digital exhibition space. The platform will be made use of by both Konsthall C and local artists in Hökarängen.

Application deadline is December 12 2021 at 11 PM.

Open call for interns

Students in art, art history, communication and cultural production are welcome to apply for a spring internship at Konsthall C. We are calling for two positions: one with a focus on curatorship and art, and one with a focus on cultural production. You are able to apply for the entire spring (January–May) but with a minimum of 5 weeks.

Application deadline is November 30 2021 at 11 PM.

Monster Loves Bats

In November, Konsthall C will be filled with 500 bats, in one of the country's largest childrens’ exhibitions.

“Bats have so many exceptional qualities: echo location, flight, being nocturnal. They are pollinators and insectivores and they have impressive immune systems that we are beginning to learn from, especially through the advanced research as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic".

This is the opinion of Monster Chetwynd, a British artist who has been fascinated by bats for almost twenty years. She has worked with expressions such as paintings, performances and sculptures, often using bats as motif..

Ulrika Flink, artistic director at Konsthall C, has chosen Monster Chetwynd as this year’s artist. It also means that preschool educators can work together with a professional artist, in this case Monster, to develop their pedagogical work.

The exhibition at Konsthall C consists of a diorama with the bat as an object. A total of about 500 works of art by 500 children will be exhibited. During the exhibition period, all 5-year-old artists and their schoolmates are invited to openings, about 4 a day for 3 weeks! Due to this, we are open to the public only on weekends.

Exhibition: November 13–28

Opening: November 13 at 12–5 PM

Released - Unreleased

"Patriarchal structures have a restrictive effect on the movements of the mind and body. To get released from these structures one needs to be both mentally and physically in motion. The constant movement demands a lot of energy, and it may come to an end. What sets the body and mind in motion again?"

Cariz Malekian Nordlöf exhibits in Centrifug during November.

During the period a performance will be performed daily. It consists of various movements, which I have been doing for the last ten years. The performance examines the mind and body oscillations between limiting structures and liberation. How can one regain energy when patriarchal structures have set one out of motion?

Exhibition: November 13–28

Performance: Every Saturday and Sunday at 1 PM.
