I would encourage everyone visiting Sweden this summer to go to Pangea Hostel.
Its the cheapest alternative if you want to rent a bed in central Stockholm and It is driven by a cultural organization with young creative people so the atmosphere is really inpiring. And you’re not going to Stockholm to stay in your fancy hotel room anyways!
Gallery SteinslandBerliner opens “The alphabet show” this friday. There will be a lot of great artists showing work that is text-related. Some swedish talents; NUG & Pike, Jonas Nobel, Lisa Jonasson, a couple of dan’s; Huskmitnavn, Jacob Boeskov, Marten Damgaard; Eine from UK and Michael Genovese from US.
We will handle the first exhibition in the new area called LOTS by showing the work by Patrick Kyle in a show called “Grim Pseudonym” opening the same time. Come by GSB on the opening this friday! The best afterwork ever!
We’re curating a show and publishing a zine featuring Patrick Kyle’s work, both titled Grim Pseudonym. The show will be opening February 26 in Stockholm, more details to come! In the meantime we interviewed Patrick, read it here.
Received a package of goodness from Rasmus Svensson and Hanna Terese Nilsson, it contains the YACL-book, an over-sized magazine called “Shopped” and three zines by Rasmus. It’s all really good stuff and we’re very excited to be exhibiting this work at the Svartbar #3 tomorrow friday! Drop by if you’re in Stockholm. Oh and the zines will be for sale, so bring cash money if you want one!
We´ve decided to make the photo couch a permanent thingy on Svartbar. We also thought it would be nice to let other people handle it from now on.
If you’d like to make the setup for the next Svartbar (which is the 20th of November) email us as soon as possible.
Svartbar sure was crazy this time as well. Linnea Mesko exhibited a couple of paintings, Svartkonst arranged a little automatic photoshoot corner, Sylvelin and Julia showed some art-movie (and random clips) on projection and Herrskapet served us a great dancefloor. We’re on it again the 20th of november. More Pictures

We’ve added an unpublished interview from Svartkonst #1 with Uland K, see it here! For more work by Uland, check out his flickr, really good stuff.
We will be adding more interviews and other features to the website in the future, so check back soon.

We’re currently updating our website so things will be abit shaky for a while, stay tuned.
Edit: Looks like most things are up and running! We lost all our old blog posts unfortunately, but we’ll fill this thing up in no time. Enjoy.
