Now that the summer’s winding to an end, it’s time for the aspects of social life that don’t require sunshine to start to return. And on that note, four galleries on Södermalm are re-opening this weekend after their summer breaks. Candyland, ID:I Gallery, Studio 44 and Tegen 2 all return with new exhibitions this weekend, with the openings scheduled for Friday. At Candyland, the artist Roberto Sánchez, aka Flor de la lluvia, from Mexico is opening the exhibition Fuego nuevo, based on an Aztec tradition of a cleaning and change ceremony that took place at the end of their calendar cycle. At ID:I Gallery, the exhibition is by Sookyoung Huh & Björn Larsson, and looks into the legacy of Sten Bergman, Swedish explorer, adventurer and travel writer.
Studio 44 features a group exhibition by Emma Göransson, Peter Varhelyi and Maria Backman that explores our relationship with the countryside in an urbanised world. And at Tegen 2 there’s a group exhibition entitled “Du har inget val” (You Have No Choice), that looks into ideas of democracy and elections in the shadow of the upcoming election. All the exhibitions open at 17:00 and 18:00 on Friday, Aug 24.
