Book release, art and music!

Welcome to the release of Linus Gårdfeldt’s collection of poems, Den råttan, with cover art by Jeff Olsson. Linus Gårdfeldt will read from his book at 6.30 pm followed by an acoustic gig by Mattias Alkberg. In the inner room of the gallery we have installed a presentation of works by Jeff Olsson.

Don't miss Jeff Olsson in Babel, SVT2, at 8 pm, or at www.svtplay.se (39:50- min) from 4 pm, Sunday April 22!

We have the pleasure to present Jeff Olsson’s third exhibition at the gallery. A Wobbly Aim presents drawings made in the last year. In the center of the exhibition hangs a jacket filled with drawn image fragments that can be seen as a compound portrait, or a workers jacket for poets.

We are proud to present the seventh annual exhibition at the gallery’s summer project space Hellvi Kännungs on the island of Gotland. This year we have invited the artist Jeff Olsson to live and work during the months of June and July. The gallery space will be his studio and on July 20 we will open the doors to present what has been made during his stay. The exhibition will run until July 30 and will be open every day.

Galleri Magnus Karlsson has partnered with Hotel le Manoir in Banyuls-sur-Mer, France. We will make on-site exhibitions with gallery artists and also work towards an exchange between the artists, guests of the hotel and the local cultural scene. The first exhibition presents more than 30 works by 16 of the gallery’s artists.The works are not selected on the basis of a special theme, but there are a number connections to the geographical location, the building and the local nature and culture.
