During Spring 2011 Magasin 3 invited a number of artists to produce work that lands somewhere between performance and exhibition. First in line was Erik Aalto with “Antidote”, a performance and concert that segued into an exhibition. Later in the season choreograper and Cullberg grand awardee Björn Säfsten presented a completely new version of his latest piece “Corduroy”.

THRICE UPON A TIME

11 SEP – 12 DEC 2010

The fall of 2010 marks the opening of the unprecedented exhibition ‘Thrice upon a time’. This is the largest exhibition to date with artworks taken exclusively from the Magasin 3 collection. It is presented in three parallel chapters featuring a total of 202 works, all of which have not previously been shown at Magasin 3. 66 artists ranging from Absalon to Zetterquist fill the exhibition spaces with photography, drawing, painting, film and sculpture. Key works by established artists are shown alongside pieces by artists who have not previously exhibited in Sweden. Together these works give an unsurpassable insight into the Magasin 3 collection. In conjunction with the exhibition we have published a magazine, which is handed out to all museum visitors.

Curators: Richard Julin, Tessa Praun and Elisabeth Millqvist.

TOM FRIEDMAN

Up in the Air

5 FEB – 6 JUNI 2010

Tom Friedman is an inquiring artist who follows his own precise logic and creates astonishing objects out of everyday materials. Like an alchemist he extracts the essentials of a thing and then proceeds to turn the ordinary into something extraordinary. Friedman encourages us to question how we see and what we consider to be real. An artistic sensibility that is at once serious, playful and profound. Read more

Maria Nepomuceno - installation

MARIA NEPOMUCENO

Always in a Spiral

23 JAN – 6 JUNE 2010

The Brazilian artist Maria Nepomuceno allows her sculptures to spread across the exhibition space like vegetation in a mysterious garden. She uses rope and necklaces as raw material for her work, letting them take on their natural spiral form. For Nepomuceno the metaphor for the body and nature is central. She describes rope as a line, an umbilical cord, and every bead as a fertile point and a possible beginning that can be multiplied infinitely. Curator: Elisabeth Millqvist. Read more

SOL LEWITT

Seven Wall Drawings

2 OCT – 6 JUNE 2010

LeWitt was a pioneer among the Minimalists and Conceptual artists who were so groundbreaking at the end of the 60s and beginning of the 70s. With his ‘wall drawings’ rendered directly onto the wall LeWitt changed our concept of what art is – its appearance and who creates it. He succeeded in the challenging task of combining art that puts the idea first with an exciting visual form and continues to be a central figure for young artists to this day. Curator: Elisabeth Millqvist. Read more

TAL R

Old Confused

2 OCT – 13 DEC 2009

From October 2, Magasin 3 is hosting an exhibition with Tal R, born 1967 in Israel and based in Denmark. Tal R is Denmark’s most widely recognized contemporary painter today has reached considerable international acknowledgement. His art is brightly colored with a deliberately naïve, abstract quality and his exhibitions become a voyage of discovery into a universe with a very direct expressiveness, which celebrates playfulness, spontaneity, imagination and creativity. Curator: Richard Julin. Read more

Dreyfus_Mother's_Day_w125

SMADAR DREYFUS

5 SEPTEMBER – 10 NOVEMBER 2009

London-based Israeli artist Smadar Dreyfus is interested in how meaning is both created and reconstructed at the intersection of the aural and the visual. A decisive characteristic of Smadar Dreyfus’ way of working is that she does not produce documentaries despite often using real-life recorded materials. The exhibition presents three of the artist’s works, the most recent of which is a large-scale installation entitled Mother’s Day. Through the alternating sound recordings and silent images the viewer is placed in a position where one participates in, and becomes a part of an experience beyond spectatorship. Read more

Exhibitions before Fall 2009 will open in a new window with our old website.
