The periods between exhibitions are most often a “dead” time for museums and institutions. Exhibition spaces are simply closed for the de-installation of the previous exhibition and the installation of new works. Malmö Konsthall is no exception, because here the exhibition space is usually closed to the public during this time. However, Malmö Konsthall is now trying to activate this “dead” time and has commissioned the Malmö-based artist Jakob Simonson to create spaces and corridors for the interfaces between the next three installation periods. Each of Simonson’s installations will only be visible during the time between exhibitions, usually 2-3 weeks, and each time the artist will change, alter and create new spaces for Malmö Konsthall.
