About Konsthall C

Konsthall C is an art institution, an urban renewal project and a public work of art located in a former communal laundry in the Hökarängen neighborhood of Stockholm. Since the start in 2004, we have organized exhibitions and events based on the neighbourhood’s history and present, its people and its environment. This is a text that describes the multifaceted organisation and its significance, now and in the future.

Today, Konsthall C is an established platform for contemporary art. The organisation still has its starting point in the former laundry space, where exhibitions, events and educational projects take place. In 2019, we began conducting an AiR (artist in residency) in collaboration with a private landowner in the neighbourhood. The Research Station, as the house is called, is a guest house for artists, researchers and others who in various ways create art with and for Hökarängen. Centrifug is a small gallery located at the entrance of Konsthall C. Here, artists exhibit for short periods, in parallel with the program of the large exhibition hall. In contrast to our large exhibitions, which are carefully planned by our artistic director, Centrifug is a free room where anyone can exhibit. We also have a Local Artist Network, where we host meetings for and exhibit 50 artists who live and work in the area. Our pedagogical project, “Art in the Preschool” is an annual exhibition featuring artwork made by 500 preschoolers from the neighbourhood.

In recent years, Konsthall C has been characterized by a high international profile and relevance. The artists who exhibit come from all over the world, which has made the gallery an important player in national and international art life. At Konsthall C, new artistic strategies are tried out, as well as new ways of organizing and displaying art and culture. The artistic director, who is replaced at regular intervals, is chosen based on an idea of how new art expressions can interact with Hökarängen as a place. The time at Konsthall C gives unestablished talents the opportunity to experiment with the organization, in mutual learning that often leads to an international career in art.

Konsthall C will offer a collaborative “Riso-zine program” throughout the duration of the Camp. More information TBA.
