Birgitta Rubin: Here are the six best exhibitions right now
« Another morning »
The Modern Museum is digging further in its large collection, now after drawings, most of which have never been shown before. This rich and fun exhibition is of course dominated by drawings on paper with pencil, coal, ink, watercolor or color crayons. But here it is also about graphically clear lines, shadows and tracks in other techniques; sculpture, installation, animation, photo, etching. From the past and now, in everything from monumental to minimal formats, by both unknown and world -famous artists.
« Together »
Thielska Gallery, Tom 24/8
The fact that the Thielska gallery is 100 years old as a museum is well worth celebrating for many reasons. The anniversary exhibition « Together » is based on the gallery as a result of collaborations, mainly between the banker Ernest Thiel and his wife Signe Maria Thiel. In the founders’ circle there are also several important artist couples, such as the spouses Boberg and Fjæstad, whose combined efforts are presented in some historical rooms. To this, contemporary duas have been invited to go in dialogue with the collection, including Bigert & Bergström.
Goldin+Senneby: « Flare-up »
Accelerator, Stockholm University, Tom 15/6
The exhibition « Flare-up » at the Accelerator Accelerator is staged by the artist duo Goldin+Senneby. Since 2004, they have worked together on conceptual projects, mainly focused on obscure pages of the financial market that were challenged with cunning and magical tricks. Now the focus is instead on physical experience of illness, but also the effects of the climate crisis and pineos as an alternative source of green energy. In order to understand the works, reading is required, which in that case gives a rich dividend.
« Anna Riwkin. A Swedish-Jewish photographer »
Jewish Museum, Tom 22/2 2026
When the Jewish Museum was closed during the pandemic, several stored boxes were discovered with private pictures, photo albums and documents after photographer Anna Riwkin (1908-1970). Everything has been restored, as is the ground floor of the museum, where the newly discovered material is now exhibited. Here Riwkin figures as a young dancer, as co -workers in the magazines Spectrum and Jewish Chronicle, well -known children’s book writer and portrait photographer. Her depictions of Jewish life in Sweden, on the other hand, are so far unknown.
Nathalia Edenmont: « Out of Body »
Wetterling Gallery, Tom 5/4
Nathalia Edenmont is known for a maximum expression, which she has now broken overall. In the latest exhibition, peeled egg shapes in Brancusi’s aftermath apply – but which used to be linked to life, death and reproduction. A collection of unfertilized, blown goose eggs has been cracked and photographed in large format. Most beautiful is the eggs she has chopped in clean, white carraram almonds and placed on black labradorite. The marble eggs are up to 2 meters high, in different colors and with intricate crack patterns.
Ulla Wiggen: « Passage »
Västerås Art Museum, Tom 31/8
Ulla Wiggen received a lot of attention already in the 1960s and 1970s, then for its free depictions of electronic appliances but in addition personal portraits. After a private grief, she switched to an internship as a psychotherapist – but after retirement has gone back for painting again, now with intrinsic interpretations of man’s interior and iris in giant format. Her acclaimed international walking exhibition has now reached the Västerås Art Museum in her own vintage, with strong works from all periods.
