Entanglements is the result of a year long partnership between the Hallwyl Museum and Research Lab at Konstfack. Five contemporary artists working with craft have investigated the house, its archives and its histories and creating new works in response; Diana Butucariu, Mike Fedak, Caitlin Heffernan, María Renée Morales Lam and Harry Parr-Young.
Before Sharon Hayes’ solo exhibition at Moderna Museet opens on April 12th she will come to Konstfack and give an open lecture Wednesday 10 April, 5.30 pm. Hayes has had solo exhibitions and performances around the world and got the special jury prize at the 55th Venice Biennale (2013), amongst many others. Welcome!
Borders are everywhere. Yet, not all of them are seen and sensed as borders for many. They are designed to be more visible and more violent for certain bodies on the move. This lecture brings forward different instances of how borders operate through material, visual and technical practices and how they can be possibly dismantled through the same capacity of design. Welcome 27 March.

I know everything about you.
If you knew everything about me, you would not be here.
I am here to have a friendly chat with you.
There is no such thing as a friendly chat between us, you’re lying.
All right, I know something about you.
You know nothing about me.
I know that you have been hiding things from me.
What could I possibly be hiding?
You have been hiding your weak
Welcome to the OPENING Thursday 24 January 4 – 8 pm, The TRAPPHUS GALLERY at Konstfack (inside the building, opposite the main entrance)
Lisa Grip´s body of work reflects on intimacy, force and release within human relationships. Through photography and moving image, she displays complex and intricate scenarios, oscillating between the secretive and the voyeuristic. In situations she composes, people close to her are dissolving into and detaching from one another. She calls this untwinement.
Du kommer att se något skimrande. I slutet av en korridor. Den byter namn allteftersom. Den kan vara vår babe, vår skog, vår värld, något på sidan av, något vi vill ha, något vi känner och som känner oss. Jag har skapat ett rum där. Du får gärna komma in. Krypa igenom. Rummet vill aktiveras.
