Past Exhibitions | Hotel Diplomat - Part 3

“Marathon to Eternity“

Montgomery has interpreted André Oliveira’s true story about the Portuguese runner Francisco Lázaro who tragically died during the 1912 Stockholm Olympic marathon. The story was the starting point for a long diplomatic friendship between Portugal and Sweden.

“Photography – Vicinity & Ceilings”

Fragments from the cityscape are material to the photographs in this exhibition. The photographs were taken 2003–2012 and accentuate the lines, colours, finishes and materials found in buildings. “Small everyday details can accommodate an entire world.”–Lennart Durehed

“Beyond Breath”

Furbacken is searching for divine nature in an urban context. This is a macro perspective on nature, a kind of contemporary romance. The artistic form of expression includes photos, video, painting and sculpture.

“I want to create an interface which throws the viewer into a world filled with intense characters. Characters that do not apologise. I want to portray ambivalent personalities and expose subtle emotions and underlying doubt. Those nano-seconds when a person reveals his or hers cultivated denial and often veiled despair” – Carl-Adam Cronstedt

Ohlsson captures rock legends backstage and at red-carpet events. The exhibition also features unique cityscapes from Stockholm and Barcelona.

The tone of Hallencreutz’s artwork is amusing and carefree, featuring bold dynamic colours isolated in a clean surrounding. Often her images portray a small-scale installation of everyday objects painted with a pop artist palette. The inspiration varies and is influenced by the visual language of art movements including surrealism, geometric abstraction and pop art.
