Eight prominent contemporary artists – Lars Lerin, Dascha Esselius,
Bigert & Bergström, Svenerik Jakobsson, Hanna Ljungh, Josef Bull,
Sigrid Sandström and Johan Petterson – are featured in this
experimental and innovative exhibition linked to the Swedish Polar Research
Secretariat’s artists programme and residencies on the Arctic and
Antarctic. In this exhibition, fascinating issues that arise in the borderland
between art and science are explored in paintings, prints, photographs,
sculptural objects, light installations and film. Expedition Art is shown
both indoors and outdoors. It is co-organised with the Swedish Polar Research
Secretariat and is accompanied by an interesting programme.
About the museum
Prince Eugen’s Waldemarsudde is one of Sweden’s most popular
art museums, beautifully situated on Djurgården in Stockholm. The
museum consists of a main building, the Mansion, built in 1903–1905
as a residence for Prince Eugen (1865–1947), and a gallery building
that was added in 1913. Architect Ferdinand Boberg designed both buildings
in close cooperation with Prince Eugen. The prince, son of King Oscar
II and Queen Sophia, was one of the leading landscape painters of his
time. He was also an important art collector and a central figure in the
Swedish cultural world.
