Contemporary art is at the center of everything we do at Magasin III. We want to challenge and inspire people, and share in the cultural expressions of today. Since 1987, we have supported artistic activity through solo and thematic group exhibitions of internationally established artists. Our exhibition program gives exhibiting artists the opportunity to develop their practice and produce new works—works that influence, engage, and question—and also allows us to look back and reflect on artworks previously shown at Magasin III.
In 2017, Magasin III presents an extensive solo exhibition by Swedish artist Gunnel Wåhlstrand (b. 1974). Wåhlstrand creates extraordinary large-scale ink wash paintings featuring monumental landscapes, compelling portraits and serene interiors with intriguing compositions. The …
