Contemporary Art from the Öresund Region
MALM1 is a presentation of contemporary art from our own part of the world.
Every other year Malmö Konsthall will present an exhibition with art from
both sides of the Öresund strait.
The exhibition series functions like a relay race in which artists from
the most recent exhibition each select a participant for the next one.
To start off the relay, we have had the assistance of six artists who have
had exhibitions at Malmö Konsthall in recent years: Magnus Wallin, Lena
Mattsson, Axel Lieber,
Mads Gamdrup, Georg Oddner and Kirsten Ortwed. These six artists have
agreed to choose two artists each for the exhibition.
Below are presented the 12 artists for the first exhibition, which has
been entitled MALM1 (Malm is the Swedish word for ore, a source of
valuable elements or minerals).
The exhibition will recur every other year, and the first instalment is at
the same time a way to celebrate the centenary of Skånes Konstförening.
