Now\, she presents her collections from her entire carreer with Go As You Please – Ann-Sofie Back 1998–2018\, an exhibition that will fill Liljevalchs+ during the fall of 2024. \n\n\n\nAnn-Sofie Back got her MFA from Central St Martin’s in 1998. Since then\, she has made collections in her own name until 2018. Her collection has been showed on London and Paris Fashion Weeks and been sold in stores all over the world. The design archive of Back has been kept almost intact since she started designing in 1998. Everything is saved and is now taking place at Liljevalchs+ as a kind of prospective-retrospective for her long\, celebrated carreer in the fashion world. \n\n\n\nThe works of Ann-Sofie Back were inspired by stereotypical images of beauty\, taste\, femininity\, social phenomena and fashion\, creating a tool for status\, i.e. the transformative elements of fashion. Her work has been presented at prominent museums and galleries around the world. Alongside the exhibition\, a book has been composed\, covering the whole carreer of Ann-Sofie Back\, including sketches\, catwalk images\, campaigns\, press cuttings and invitations for fashion shows. The catalogue also features interviews and articles\, as well as different styling projects by Ann-Sofie Back for Self Self Service\, Purple and Dazed\, among others. \n\n\n\nPhoto from “Ann-Sofie Back aw04″\, photo: Chris Moore.   \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n Open today 11–17 \n \n\n\n\n Besöksinfo \n\n\n\n Boka gruppvisning \n\n\n\n Liljevalchs + URL:https://liljevalchs.se/kalender/go-as-you-please-ann-sofie-back-1998-2018/ CATEGORIES:Konstsamling ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://liljevalchs.se/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Session-utan-namn2860-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250328T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250810T235959 DTSTAMP:20260417T215048 CREATED:20250212T112039Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250825T123617Z UID:10000208-1743120000-1754870399@liljevalchs.se SUMMARY:Drick Drick DESCRIPTION:Liljevalchs is proud to present Drick Drick\, a major solo exhibition by CarolaGrahn\, one of Scandinavia’s leading contemporary artists. Opening on March28\, 2025\, this exhibition marks Grahn’s first significant showcase inStockholm. \n\n\n\nIn Drick Drick\, Grahn transforms ordinary objects into compelling symbols of personal experience\, social critique\, and collective memory. An overflowing glass\, a joik machine\, brooms\, and 17 engraved knives become the building blocks of large-scale\, meticulously crafted installations that span the exhibition halls. \n\n\n\nGrahn’s conceptual and sensory works poetically address social issues\, colonialism\, and theindividual’s place within broader cultural contexts. For this exhibition\, she has collaborated withLiljevalchs to create several new pieces\, described as three-dimensional images unfolding throughout the spaces. \n\n\n\n“Stepping into the exhibition will be somewhat like entering my mind\, wandering around my thoughts and looking out at the present through my eyes. It’s an experience of thirst\, desire and hopelessness\,” Grahn explains. \n\n\n\nBorn in 1982 in Jåhkåmåhkke (Jokkmokk)\, Saepmie\, Grahn is of Southern Sami descent. Her diverse practice encompasses various media\, often interweaving dark humor\, popular culture references\, and Sami traditions to challenge stereotypes and power structures. \n\n\n\nGrahn’s work has been exhibited internationally at prestigious venues such as Buffalo AKG in New York\, Southbank Centre in London\, Onsite Gallery in Toronto and Museum of Contemporary Native Arts in Santa Fe. Her 2020 solo exhibition at Röda Sten in Gothenburg marked a significant milestone in her career\, leading to increased international recognition.Joanna Sandell Wright\, curator and artistic director of Liljevalchs\, states\, Drick Drick is a major art event in Sweden this spring\, offering visitors the chance to engage with one of today’s most relevant contemporary oeuvres”. \n\n\n\nDrick Drick will be on display at Liljevalchs+ from March 28 to August 12\, 2025\, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in Grahn’s unique artistic vision and explore the intersection of the mundane and the profound. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Visit us URL:https://liljevalchs.se/kalender/drick-drick/ LOCATION:Liljevalchs+\, Falkenbergsgatan 3\, Stockholm\, 11521\, Sverige ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://liljevalchs.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Carola-Grahn-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250613T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250810T235959 DTSTAMP:20260417T215048 CREATED:20250825T123255Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250825T123256Z UID:10000237-1749772800-1754870399@liljevalchs.se SUMMARY:Komtemåtta—A pioneering safe space for women DESCRIPTION:Petra Bauer\, Åsa Elzén\, Susanne Ewerlöf\, Olivia Plender\, Åsa Sonjasdotter\, Anders Sunna and Siri Derkert. \n\n\n\nIn the exhibition Komtemåtta—A pioneering safe space for women\, six contemporary artists deep-dive into the groundbreaking educational experiment that was the Citizen School for Women at Fogelstad (1925-1954) and Sami women’s activism from the early 1900s. Founded one hundred years ago by five headstrong women\, the Citizen School was open to women from all corners of society to come and practice citizenship. The artworks in the exhibition interact with archival materials from the school\, borrowed from the KvinnSam archive at Gothenburg University\, as well as a selection of works by artist Siri Derkert\, who was a course participant. \n\n\n\nThe school’s founders were active in the suffrage movement\, and two were elected to the Swedish Riksdag in 1921: estate owner and politician Elisabeth Tamm and workplace inspector Kerstin Hesselgren. The other founders were author Elin Wägner\, doctor Ada Nilsson\, and teacher and school principal Honorine Hermelin.With innovative pedagogical methods\, the Citizen School became a meeting place for radical intellectuals and women from diverse backgrounds. \n\n\n\nCourses were designed to educate women in how to navigate their responsibilities as citizens. While there was neither a set learning agenda nor a reading list\, the curriculum was extensive.Alongside lectures about history\, politics and reproductive health\, the school was ahead of its time in applying methods centered on learning through self-study\, and collective experiences like role play\, choir singing and discussion clubs. The title of the exhibition\, Komtemåtta\, refers to the imaginary municipality created by teacher Ebba Holgersson. Komtemåtta was used as a pedagogical tool for participants to test different societal roles and functions. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition is initiated by Kin Museum of Contemporary Art in Kiruna. Curators are Maria Lind and Hanna Nordell. The exhibition is realized in collaboration with Kin\, KvinnSam at the University of Gothenburg Library and the magazine Ord&Bild. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Opens June 13th \n\n\n\n Visit us \n\n\n\n Liljevalchs+ URL:https://liljevalchs.se/kalender/komtematta-a-pioneering-safe-space-for-women/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://liljevalchs.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Pro-Capture-One-7408-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250613T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20251012T235959 DTSTAMP:20260417T215048 CREATED:20250819T132402Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250915T092201Z UID:10000233-1749772800-1760313599@liljevalchs.se SUMMARY:Lars Jonsson\, invisibilis DESCRIPTION:placeholder-4-3Lars Jonsson\, invisibilis\n13 juni–12 oktober \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLars Jonsson is the most prominent painter of birds and nature in Sweden. In the exhibition invisibilis\, his lifelong artistry alongside many new works are presented. \n\n\n\nLars Jonsson is considered one of the world’s finest in depicting birds and nature\, a genre with a long-standing tradition in art history. The influence from Bruno Liljefors is particularly evident\, who exhibited in the very same halls of Liljevalchs\, in the art gallery’s first exhibition in 1916. In the 1970s\, Lars Jonsson became known internationally as an ornithologist for his handbook about the birds of Sweden. \n\n\n\nWith his deep knowledge\, unique perception and technical skills\, Lars Jonsson has revolutionized bird painting. In his paintings\, the birds’ appearance and the close connection to their habitats are captured\, but the images also reach deeper\, into their characters and inner lives. In the exhibition\, we are invited to follow the artists’ creative process\, from sketch to completed painting. In the poetic depictions\, we perceive something that on the surface seems hidden\, but that is made visible by Lars’ ability to identify with the personality and soul of the birds. \n\n\n\nWhen I\, for the first time this year\, point the monocular to the couple of eiders in the graygreen water\, calmly swimming in from the shores\, it’s that same feeling and perception of something that needs to be captured\, read and eternalized. In the exact moment that I see the scene\, my head paints what my retina perceives – the combination of graygreen\, pink\, the white that shifts to shades of peach\, mango\, lemon peel\, vanilla and the edges as black as dry liquorice\, and slowly\, the waves wander in toward the beach. The wonder takes place here and now\, says Lars Jonsson\, artist. \n\n\n\nThe curator of the exhibition is Emil Ivedal. \n\n\n\nImage: Septemberskymning (Common snipe)\, watercolour\, 2024. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Opens June 13th \n\n\n\n Visitors info \n\n\n\n Book a guided tour \n\n\n\n Main building URL:https://liljevalchs.se/kalender/lars-jonsson-invisibilis/ LOCATION:Liljevalchs Bergstenshuset\, Djurgårdsvägen 60\, Stockholm\, 11521\, Sverige CATEGORIES:Barn och unga,Guided tours,Konstsamling,Skola ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://liljevalchs.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/septemberskymning-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250614T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20251012T235959 DTSTAMP:20260417T215048 CREATED:20250819T094239Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250902T110518Z UID:10000231-1749859200-1760313599@liljevalchs.se SUMMARY:Art Lab: Birds DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Liljevalchs’ artist-led creative workshop\, where we are currently exploring the theme of birds\, inspired by Lars Jonsson’s exhibition invisibilis. \n\n\n\nLars Jonsson is Sweden’s most renowned painter of birds and nature.

At the centre of the exhibition Edicola Due – for Liljevalchs is a hexagonal chapel made up of 36 assembled paintings\, forming a space rich with symbolism. \n\n\n\nLiselotte Watkins weaves together art history\, philosophy\, activism\, and popular culture with a personal imprint. Utilising an explicitly analogue and tactile method\, she creates works in which every detail carries meaning – drawn from real-life encounters\, books\, printed materials\, and physical environments rather than digital sources. In Edicola Due – for Liljevalchs\, references can be found to artists and figures such as David Hockney\, Carla Lonzi\, and Carla Accardi\, Donatello’s David\, Dante and Marie Laure de Decker\, as well as contemporary symbols like the Nike logo. \n\n\n\nIn connection with the exhibition\, a special publication has been produced for Liljevalchs\, in collaboration between Liselotte Watkins and Helene Fuchs. The paper contains newly written texts on topics ranging from one of Cleopatra Pia Tolomei’s last relatives\, to camel libraries\, Don Quixote\, and a story about how young girls were rescued from Kabul. \n\n\n\nThe title Edicola Due refers both to the small kiosks that once characterised cities like Rome and to the miniature chapels still found throughout Italian villages. Watkins\, who now lives in Tuscany\, draws inspiration from the Italian cultural environment and her overflowing studio cosmos – where books\, images\, and fragments become visual narratives. \n\n\n\n\n–Edicola Due is a kind of requiem for my love of the newsstand\, that place that was always part of the streetscape but is now disappearing. I still remember the feeling of seeing my illustration in The New York Times for the first time. It was magical. That feeling\, that presence\, is what I want to preserve in Edicola Due\, says Liselotte Watkins. \n\n\n\n\nWatkins broke through internationally as a fashion illustrator in the late 1990s with commissioners such as Prada\, Vogue\, Elle\, and The New Yorker. Over the past decade\, she has fully devoted herself to her independent art practice\, creating a unique visual language where the female body\, symbolism\, and everyday objects gain new meanings. \n\n\n\nCurator for the exhibition is Joanna Sandell Wright. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Opens September 5th \n\n\n\n Visit us \n\n\n\n Main building URL:https://liljevalchs.se/kalender/liselotte-watkins-edicola-due/ LOCATION:Liljevalchs Bergstenshuset\, Djurgårdsvägen 60\, Stockholm\, 11521\, Sverige CATEGORIES:Barn och unga,Guided tours,Skola ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://liljevalchs.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Watkins-0238-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20251011T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20251011T150000 DTSTAMP:20260417T215048 CREATED:20251007T083927Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251007T083928Z UID:10000244-1760191200-1760194800@liljevalchs.se SUMMARY:Curator's tour: When We See Us DESCRIPTION:Join us for a guided tour with Tandazani Dhlakama\, the curator of the exhibition When We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in Painting. \n\n\n\nThe tour will center around the six themes in the exhibition: The Everyday\, Joy and Revelry\, Repose\, Sensuality\, Spirituality and Triumph and Emancipation. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition has been internationally acclaimed as one of the most significant exhibitions of our time.

The exhibition brings together fifteen artists working across various media such as video\, performance\, installation\, sculpture\, painting\, and textiles. \n\n\n\nIn the second part of the curatorial project that began with Stockholm Cosmology (2024)\, Liljevalchs continues its survey of the Swedish art scene by considering various contact zones—in this iteration\, turning its gaze further afield. \n\n\n\nStockholm Cosmologies represents a constellation of relations across geographies and temporalities. These contact zones are historic as well as temporary—in some cases fleeting\, in others sustained through memory\, and often overlapping. One contact zone stems from the diplomatic relations between Sweden and the South African government in exile during the 1970s and 1980s\, a relationship rooted in solidarity and kinship. \n\n\n\nHowever\, the exhibition resists the framing of an historic set of relations. Other considerations are the lived lives of artists and the liminal aspects of being situated in-between two geographies. The practice of South African-born artist Lefifi Tladi\, and his life of exile\, existing between Sweden and South Africa\, is a departure point for the curatorial journey. Queerness is a zone of contact\, as are the legacies of Dutch colonial violence\, linking artists from the southern tip of Africa to the Carribbean\, and returning to Sweden. \n\n\n\nStockholm Cosmologies leans into the notion of ‘parallel aesthetics’—an articulation by the late Koyo Kouoh\, in the framing of the exhibition When We See Us (currently on view at Liljevalchs+). These two exhibitions also form a contact zone\, in the physical connection between the  two buildings of Liljavalchs—one more than a century old\, at this moment holding contemporary artists; the other\, a contemporary building holding a century of painting. \n\n\n\nStockholm Cosmologies is the result of dialogues between two curators and their networks and relations\, their respective worlds brought into a zone of contact\, contained for the duration of the exhibition within the walls of Liljevalchs. \n\n\n\nAll of the fifteen participating artists are active in multiple geographies—spanning Scandinavia\, Africa\, and its diaspora. Together\, they form a spectrum of experiences that spans generations\, materials\, and geographies. The exhibition includes emerging artists as well as those who have been active for a longer time. Several of the works were made in 2025 and many of them are site-specific\, produced especially for Liljevalchs. \n\n\n\nStockholm Cosmologies takes as its starting point the concept of cosmology\, not in its scientific sense\, but rather as a poetic and political model for how artists relate to the world\, time\, place\, material\, and to one another. A cosmology can be seen as a worldview\, an inner map or an artistic orientation. In speaking of cosmologies in the plural\, the exhibition seeks to illuminate the myriad expressions that take place in artists’ studios\, as well as the unexpected parallels\, ruptures\, and reflections that can arise between artists who have neither met nor heard of each other\, and who work on different continents. \n\n\n\nStockholm Cosmologies is not an attempt to define the Swedish art scene but rather to offer a multifaceted and relational picture of what is going on within it right now. It is a proposal to see it as something open\, contradictory\, and in constant change—yet globally intertwined. A place where artistic cosmologies and aesthetics co-exist\, collide\, mirror each other and\, sometimes\, unfold in parallel. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition features the artists Filippa Arrias\, Igshaan Adams\, Karim Boumjimar\, Loulou Cherinet\, Theresa Traore Dahlberg\, Garth Erasmus\, Sara-Vide Ericson\, Salad Hilowle\, Bronwyn Katz\, Kitso Lynn Lelliott\, Kayo Mpoyi\, Pia Sandström\, Inga Somdyala\, Ylva Snöfrid and Lefifi Tladi. \n\n\n\n\n\n Opens 21 November \n\n Visitor info \n\n Book a guided tour \n\n Liljevalchs\, Djurgårdsvägen 60 URL:https://liljevalchs.se/kalender/stockholm-cosmologies/ CATEGORIES:Barn och unga,Guided tours,Konstsamling ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://liljevalchs.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/SC_HERO-IMAGE_purple_3200x2400-scaled.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260219T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260219T190000 DTSTAMP:20260417T215048 CREATED:20260121T115423Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260203T104859Z UID:10000265-1771524000-1771527600@liljevalchs.se SUMMARY:Visita comentada en español DESCRIPTION:Visita comentada en español \n\n\n\nWhen We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in PaintingCuando Nos Vemos: Un siglo de Pintura y Figurativismo Negro \n\n\n\nTe invitamos a una visita comentada en español por la exposición When We See Us en Liljevalchs\, desde una perspectiva decolonial y afro centrada. \n\n\n\nConcebida originalmente por el Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA) en Ciudad del Cabo y co-curada por Koyo Kouoh y Tandazani Dhlakama\, la muestra toma su título de When They See Us (2019) de Ava DuVernay para proponer un giro hacia la auto-representatividad\, o lo que Achille Mbembe denomina “autonarrativa”.
