RUNAWAY TRAIN
14 April - 20 June 2010
Bonniers Konsthall remains at the pulse of the Swedish contemporary art scene, keeping on the look-out for precisely what characterises our time. In 2010 the focus is on Swedish artists living and working abroad.
This exhibition raises questions about where Swedish artists choose to study and work. Is artistic expression influenced by the local context? Is geographic dislocation significant, or has the boundary between the Swedish and international art scenes been dissolved once and for all?
In the exhibition Runaway Train, curator Camilla Larsson continues to explore current trends in contemporary art. This time she has enlisted the assistance of Tone Hansen, Josefine Wikström, Ana-Maria Hadji-Culea and Krist Gruijthuijsen, all young curators working in Europe. Eleven young artists based in different countries participate in Runaway Train, the common link between them being their belief in the mutability of identity. In their works they conjure up unexpected notions and longings for other ways of being.
