Kasra Alikhani is a Stockholm based artist who was born in Iran 1987 and raised in Sweden. He studied Fine Art at HDK-Valand Academy of Art and Design in Gothenburg.

Expressions borrowed from mass culture and documentary observations are woven together in order to inject the eerie, the playful and the absurd into that which feels familiar.

Josefina Anjou is a Stockholm based artist, foremost a painter, whose work often bridges over onto its surrounding architecture. Either through elaborative frames in various materials such as wood, wax, metal and plastic, or in trickery and painterly effects of framing. In her work there is always a play with the flat image and where it stops being flat. The history of it, the meaning of it, the context of it. Anjou’s paintings are painted in a wide range of styles, techniques, methods and modes. Essentially her approach is explorative of the medium of image making, and is like that enabling an endless discovery for herself and the viewer.

Josefinas Anjou (b. 1993, SE) graduated with a BFA from Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam, in 2019 and a MFA at Konstfack, Stockholm in 2024. She has exhibited in duo- and solo shows at Arti et Amicitae, Galerie Fons Welters and Bologna CC in Amsterdam, Konstnärshuset and Andy’s Gallery in Stockholm, and group shows around Europe such as , Kunstverein (Amsterdam), Intersticio (Madrid), Coulisse Gallery, (Stockholm) as well as in a vast number of artist organized group shows.

Resin
28 x 22 x 4 cm
Edition 1 of 3 + 3 AP
Price: 40.000 SEK

The sculpture series Multiple Scars was cast from marks left by historical resin tapping on pine trees and created on-site within a conservation forest in Estonia. The artwork is part of a longer exploration of immunity and autoimmunity, and the title of the work alludes to the autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis (MS). The GPS coordinates in the title of each work indicate the location of the individual tree from which the cast was made.

Goldin+Senneby is a Stockholm-based artist subject. Since 2004 their work has explored the structural correspondence between conceptual art and finance capital, drawn to its (il)logical conclusions. Recent works include a ghostwritten detective novel about an offshore company on the Bahamas (2007-2015), a magic trick for the financial markets (2016) and a proposal for an eternal employment at a train station (2026-). Currently their practice is mutating: Drawing on bodily experiences of an autoimmune disease, they are staging a fiction with an ”autoimmune tree” as the main protagonist.

Solo exhibitions include: ”Insurgency of Life”, e-flux, New York (2019); ”Standard Length of a Miracle”, Tensta konsthall, Stockholm (2016); ”M&A”, Artspace NZ, Auckland (2013); ”The Decapitation of Money”, Kadist, Paris (2010); and ”Goldin+Senneby: Headless”, The Power Plant, Toronto (2008).

For over a decade, Tarik Kiswanson has explored notions of rootlessness, metamorphosis, and memory through his interdisciplinary practice. A legacy of displacement and transformation permeates his works and is indispensable to both their form and the modes of sensing they produce. While retaining an attachment to the intimate and personal, his work speaks to universal concerns and to social and collective histories of rupture, loss, and regeneration. Kiswanson’s oeuvre can be understood as a cosmology of related conceptual families, each exploring variations on themes like refraction, multiplication, disintegration, levitation, and polyphony through their own distinct language. 

Tarik Kiswanson was awarded the Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2023 at Centre Pompidou. His work has been the subject of several solo exhibitions at institutions, most recently at Kunsthalle Portikus (2024), Oakville Galleries (2024), Bonniers Konsthall (2023), Salzburger Kunstverein (2023), Museo Tamayo (2023), M HKA-Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp (2022), Hallands Konstmuseum (2022) and Carré d’Art-Musée d’art contemporain (2021). 

He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials at institutions such as Centre Pompidou, Kunsthalle Münster, Gothenburg International Biennial for Contemporary Art, Lyon Biennial of Contemporary Art, The Ural Biennial, Performa Biennial, Gwangju Biennial, and MUDAM-Museum of Contemporary Art Luxembourg. Kiswanson received his MFA from École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris (2014) and BFA from Central Saint Martins-University of the Arts London (2010). He holds four nationalities and speaks and writes in five languages. He serves as advisor on the scientific committee of the Edouard Glissant Art Fund.

2 Americans, 2010

Price: 15 000 SEK

The barely visible “blind-stamped” text is lifted from a New York Times article on the June 1, 2009 crash of Air France flight 447, an international passenger flight from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Paris, France. Starting with “2 Americans”, ending with “2 Swedes and a Turk”, the alphabetized list of passenger nationalities is a temporary stand-in for a permanent loss. The list, and others like it, begins a curious process of personal and political identification that occurs in relation to nationality.

Lisa Tan traces the contours of life as it is shaped by desire and determined by the contingent encounters that form it. Her work takes the form of installation, photography, video, and writing, among other gestures. In 2023-24, she presented a solo exhibition, Dodge and/or Burn at Accelerator in Stockholm.
