September Sessions x Liljevalchs: Choose the way ritual

As part of the September Sessions art festival, Liljevalchs presents a participatory performance in Ylva Snöfrid’s exhibition The House of the Muses.

During this immersive performance inside Ylva Snöfrid’s exhibition The House of the Muses, the Choose the way ritual is activated. The visitors are invited to enter and go through the artist’s paintings, where a choice between two possible paths is to be made: the pink which leads to The Dream Rite, or the grey, leading to Dystopia. It all begs the question: What kind of world do we want to see?

The artist will be on site and lead the performance.

Free admission. No pre-booking required. Please let the staff at the reception desk know if you are visiting only for the performance.

Ylva Snöfrid is known for her performative works, pushing the boundaries of painting; within Snöfrid’s ritualized world, everything revolves around painting that moves between figuration and matter. Her artistic process often takes place in communal rooms and in collective rituals, where she takes on the role as a mediator between work and reality. In 2017, she performed a “transmutation ritual” in which she became one with her twin soul Snöfrid.

Ylva Snöfrid has been based in New York, Berlin, Athens and Stockholm. She has exhibited extensively around the world in numerous large exhibitions and site-specific works, including Istanbul Biennal, Performa in New York, Palais de Tokyo, Swiss Institute in New York, Institut Suédois in Paris, Bonniers konsthall and Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen.

September Sessions is a four-day art festival in Stockholm, initiated in 2023 by Index – The Swedish Contemporary Art Foundation and Mint. See the full program here.
