MALM1 is a presentation of contemporary art from our own part of the world.
Every other year Malmo Konsthall will present an exhibition with art from both sides of the Oresund 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 Malmo 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 Skanes Konstforening.
