Summer -Autumn
Jakob is currently planning of his next show at the Art Academy Library in Stockholm (Konstakademien Fredsgatan 12)
on Thursday 2011-08-25. He will be showing book related objects, new and old, and possibly a work-in-progress,
a propos my grandfather and his peculiar life.
Further shows to come: Galerija Portreta, Tuzla (Bosnia-Herzegovnia), Bank Street Arts, Sheffield,
and Blue Door Gallery, Yonkers, N.Y.
All over
Currently Jakob am working on artist’s books and drawing.
And I am certainly lucky to be showing allover this summer
with shows at Milk Gallery, Istanbul, Interbifep, Tuzla, I Am Joy, Chichester,
and at National Galleriet, Stcokholm. And there is more to come.
Jakob will also be laumching a new catalogue at Transimission Gallery, Glasgow on 2nd of July
with an artist’s talk at the opening of the members show.
And on the 24th of August he will be having a solo show at
the Art Academy Library in Stockholm (Fredsgatan 12).
Yes, Jakob will be showing drawings and artist’s books.
Konstnärshuset
11/12 is the opening of the show
“70-talister”, a group of artists born in the 1970′s.
For me the 70s nightmare in art was all the op-art.
So, thats what i did for this show, at the Artist’s House in Stockholm.
The show is up until th 22nd.
Vasa Finland
What’s New?
Well, I am pleased that I am getting quality time
in my studio again and it feels really good!
And I am getting involved in a very exiting drawing project
on a humble but international scale.
Galleri Hades
Seamed the perfect location for a show
with STYX a sort of home coming per se.
The show is called Slurp and its on two more weeks
(eh, today being the16th of April 2010)
The Gallery is located in Aspudden Library in Stockholm
Except for my humble self this equally humble show
showcases Marta Bencivenni, Taro Boruta, Iris Causevic,
Leif Elggren, C.M. Lundberg, Giuliano Killgren Medici,
Nanok, Marja-Leena Sillanpää, Stina Stigell among others.
Welcome.
went really well for us in the BRICKWORKS stall
and the art fair as a whole was really really good.
Thanks to all who helped us.
We got good press and response to the art work and for
Helena Johard’s performance. We hope to be looking
forwards to it next year again. A special thanks to our
artists Christer Chytreaus, Jakob Eklund and Helena Johard.
Well done!
The shows at Enkehuset, Botkyrka and Konstnärshuset are
now taken down but we look forwards to a continuation of
the Labyrint show at the Collective Gallery later this year.
Anckarsvärd will be taking things slow now due to his home
situation but he will never the less be showing at Glasgow
International and at Galleri Hades with the Styx group.
Appropriate isn’t it?
And some time this spring Leif Elggren and I will be launching a live
-CD from our performance at niclas belenius gallery last October.
