To underline Bonniers Konsthall’s commitment to the young local art scene, we chose to invite Marianna Garin, Camilla Larsson, and Sinziana Ravini — a younger generation of curators — to develop an exhibition featuring art students.

Sara Arrhenius, Artistic Director Bonniers Konsthall.

Our intention has been to focus on a recurring theme we believe exists amongst the artists we’ve chosen to work with, primarily the search of the lost self. This includes one’s right to an individual space, the right to withdraw from others and look both forwards and backwards, inside and outside. In this retrospective movement, the journalistic meets the biographical, the scientific encounters the fictional. Contemporary story-telling has become a private endeavour, in much the same way that private recollections have entered the public sphere. We have chosen to put on an exhibition which represents both our search for the artist, as well as the artist’s search for the self. We are all in search of the lost self.
