I have put the last pieces
of the puzzle in place
The final preparations and puzzle pieces are starting to fall into place for tomorrow's opening of my exhibition Brytningstid. I am very happy to be able to realize this exhibition and present my largest photographic work ever. It feels like a very nice feature that gives the entire showroom a pleasant atmosphere to step into.
Hope you find time to find yourself there and meet the magnificent and sublime in this exhibition which runs for the next 6 weeks until January 25.

Behind the scenes
of the new exhibition
This week I have started the hanging of my new exhibition which will open on Friday next week. Together with the staff at the museum, we installed my biggest photographic work ever. The work is almost 20 square meters in size and it feels really fun to present this at the Museum as the place in the picture is taken from the local area.
Next week, more work awaits with lighting and press screening in the opening, which takes place on Friday evening.

A special request from Italy
A little over a month ago, I received a request from Fondazione Leonardo, Italy if I would consider including one of my photographic works in their latest magazine which is focus in science, technology and innovation. I said Yes and received the magazine the other day.
It's always fun to see your pictures in print and it feels good to see your work in a well-curated context with both pictures and texts.

Welcome to the
opening of my new exhibition
A lot is happening right now for me with work for the upcoming exhibition and planning of the winter's various projects that I will soon start and do some more field studies in Västerbotten's small villages and landscapes. There are many things that need to be done, but also work with transport, disassembling autumn lights and collecting works from the framer. I am also a little extra excited as I will be presenting my biggest photographic work.
Therefore, it makes me extra happy to be able to share the poster and take the opportunity to invite to the opening of my solo exhibition at Örnsköldsvik's museum and Konsthall. The exhibition opens on December 6 and runs until January 25, 2025.
More about the opening and the exhibition can be found at the link: https://www.ornskoldsvik.se/fritid-och-kultur/kultur/ornskoldsviks-museum-och-konsthall/ornskoldsviks-museum-och-konsthalls-utstallningar/aktuella-utstallningar/2024-11-11-brytningstid

The installation is now complete and soon a new exhibition..
Now finally my latest installation is in place with all the associated parts. It feels really fun and nice that everything is now in place. Today I have documented the work and the text about the work can be read under the installations tab here on the website.
Otherwise, work continues with other projects and exhibitions. In a little more than a month, I will open my new solo exhibition at Örnsköldsvik Museum and Konsthall, which I am very much looking forward to. More info about that exhibition will come shortly.
27 October 2024
Finally it begins..
After a lot of work last week, the two installations are now in place. There are some small adjustments that I will make in the near future, but I am very happy that everything is finally up despite all the setbacks during this project. A full text and documentation will come as soon as the final details are in place. Pictures from the process can be found on my instagram.

The light in the tunnel
This weekend I worked on the two installations that will shortly be presented at this year's light festival. It feels really good to finally begin to finish this project which meant a lot of work for me.
I am very grateful for the support and help I have received during the process and I also look forward to seeing the finished results. For more information about this year's festival, you can see on the link below.

Digging in the park
Today I was able to carry out the excavation with the help of an excavator driver of the six concrete foundations that will be used for my two installations of this year's autumn lights which will soon be installed.
It was a little nervous before it went away once we started working together to place the various foundations. It's always fun to be able to work together with new people, even if it sometimes creates tension as there is a lot of planning that is done before, as in this case when the excavator driver shows up on site. But wants to succeed in completing the job within the allotted time. So now the next step in the process awaits.
6 September
A weekend in Lofoten
I had the great pleasure of visiting Lofoten during this intense weekend with the two towns of Svolvær and Henningsvaer. After visiting this year's LIAF art festival, I took the opportunity to photograph a brand new work on one of Lofoten's oldest mountains. It was a fantastic experience to visit the place and would love to go back very soon. The work from the site is coming soon can be found under "works" where several of my latest works are posted continuously.
28 september 2024
Between the projects
Right now there is a lot going on with my ongoing projects where I jump between building the set for my new work and with the work for this year's Höstljus in Umeå which has required a lot of preparations and planing which I must also start working on very soon.
Of course, it is stressful to have to go between two projects, but sometimes it can also be stimulating to be able to take turns because it is not every day that you can make progress, but you sometimes have to wait for answers or think an extra turn before making important decisions in the process. I.
On this Instagram link, you can see more documentation from the work that is currently being produced in a slightly more updated way because there is a lot going on in the project studio now.
26 September 2024
The spruce forest
Depending on the landscape. Dependence on spruce forest. In this new work, I try to both make visible and investigate the function of the spruce in my surroundings in times of the green transition that is currently underway in northern Sweden where I live. It was obvious to mix the plant into the work and the scenography in some way where it could have a significant role.
This work will be able to be read about in the future under the project tab here on the website because this is something that I am interested in right now and would like to immerse myself more in my artistry.
24 September 2024
The first scene of autumn
Now that all the material is finally in place in the project studio, I have decided to take the chance and take the opportunity to produce a new photographic work that has been in the back of my mind for a long time. The scenography for the staged photography will also be photographed in the same room under construction that I am currently working in.
So there will be some logical problems to solve, problems to solve along the way, but it feels very luxurious to be able to working on several projects at the same time, even if the brain goes into high gear and tries to remember where I put all my tools.
20 September 2024
Now the seriousness begins!
After many twists and turns, all the building materials finally arrived in place for the autumn's various projects. It's always just as exciting to receive such a large amount of material that will go to new works. But it feels really great to finally be starting to realize the plans. So there will be a lot of work ahead.
16 September 2024
Sometimes it's great to be able to work outdoors
At the beginning of December, my next solo exhibition opens. Today I have been out photographing the work that I see as the main work for the exhibition. Today was a day that was really grateful to work outdoors together surrounded by wonderful people who helped realize this work that I look forward to presenting later.
More about the exhibition will come later, but I can already say that I am really looking forward to realizing this work at the museum where it will hang, even if I have a lot of other things to do before then.

My new work in a wonderful Museum collection in Italy
I am very happy to share the wonderful news that my latest work "I will show you how the mountains move under our feet when the clouds stretch from the cloud cover's unfiltered light gaze" (2024) which I am currently showing at the Museo in Trento in Italy is now part of the permanent Collection of the Museo Nazionale della Montagna "Duca degli Abruzzi" CAI Torino.

It is now a little more than a week since I came back to Sweden after Italy. During the last few days, I have worked intensively on building up the first three scenographers outdoors for the work with the working title "surroundings of the landscape" for which I have done preliminary studies and models during the summer.

The new exhibition in Italy
It was very warm and intense work week in Trento, Italy.
A fantastic journey filled with exciting conversations and meetings amid laughter with new inspiring people. I'm still completely overwhelmed after all the response during Saturday's opening. I hardly had time to get any pictures during the evening.
I am also very grateful and incredibly proud to be part of such a fine and important context where art and science are combined side by side in such a fine museum and beautifully curated by Andrea Lerda.
It is also really interesting to take part in new scientific research in the field that exists and to read together about my work in the beautiful in catalogue. The texts are written by Francesco Meneguzzo, Federica Zabini, Ilaria De March, Felix Windegger and Christoph Kircher.
More news about the exhibition will come soon on the website and for more information about the show. The exhibition runs until November 17.

Work in progress in Trento, Italy
After a long day of travel yesterday I finally arrived in Trento, Italy where this week I am installing my new work which will be displayed in a fantastic museum until the middle of November. It's hot outside so it feels very nice to be inside working during these hot hours of the day.
The exhibition has its opening on Saturday and I can shortly also present more about the exhibition here on the website. A physical and digital catalog with images and texts will also be released.It feels incredibly fun to both participate but also to be part of such a fine exhibition with many interesting artists!

Very excited about this upcoming exhibition
I am very happy to announce that I am one of the invited artists in the exhibition “The Mountain Touch” at Museo delle Scienze di Trento, Italy with opening at 18 am, July 27th. In the exhibition I present a completely new work that is a site-specific installation that include photography on glass, a video and a room installation which I have developed during the last months.
17 artists and their works in dialogue with scientific content. Two museums united to tell the story of the association between good health and connection with nature through art and science. This is the theme explored in the exhibition The Mountain Touch, which will be inaugurated at the MUSE - Museum of Science in Trento on 27 July 2024. The exhibition “The Mountain Touch” is an art-science project conceived and produced by the National Mountain Museum.
Warm welcome and I am really looking forward to seeing this exhibition in place!

A combination with exhibitions in different environments
Autumn begins to fill up more and more with new exhibitions in new places and exciting challenges in the public space.
The combination of these two environments is very fun conditions for realizing ideas but also gives the opportunity to experiment with new tools.
The picture on the left shows the place where I will have an upcoming solo exhibition later this year that I have now started planning for.

A reflection on my work which is placed in a hospital
A nice post was recently published about my work being purchased and placed at Skaraborg Hospital, Skövde. It's nice to hear about reflections and afterthoughts about one's work at the same time that they have a function in the public space.
" Loneliness or being part of something bigger? Both concepts are complex and nuanced, and can be interpreted in many different ways. So also this work with the long title The careful mirror of the horizon stretches forward through the shimmer where the steps temporarily rest. by Peter Stridsberg , which was recently acquired by the art unit"

Guest teacher and examiner
Last week I was a guest teacher and was an examiner at Umeå Art School's graduation exhibition. A few weeks ago I received the request and always enjoys sharing his thoughts and reflections on artistic works.
That was also the case this time. Really Fun day that made me discover and talk about the students' work, but also to discuss their different processes.
Warm thanks again for your invitation and this experience of being a guest teacher to your students.
Right now I'm developing templates for my upcoming sets that I will try to build in full scale during the summer. The models are on a scale of 1:10 and are preliminary studies to partly find the size of the different windows in the scenography but also to plan the location of the various works when these will later be built outdoors.
28 May 2024 preliminary studies for upcoming works
17 May 2024
Västerbottens museum next!
Today I have handed over three newly produced works that will be shown in a group exhibition at the Västerbottens Museum this summer and well into September.
It is always just as exciting to exhibit work that has not been shown before in an exhibition context. The three photographic works include the suite The window towards the road by the lake (2023)

Abisko and new landscapes
for upcoming exhibitions
Yesterday was an intense, wet and cold working day among the Swedish mountains and mountain landscape. It was of course no surprise, but I feel extremely grateful and privileged to have the help of such a team with the execution of yesterday's production. This would not have been possible without you.
The new works with both photographic and cinematic elements will be presented in a larger work that will be presented at an incredibly fine international museum exhibition in Europe. Which I am very happy to be a part of. I will be able to present more information about the exhibition shortly.
23 April 2024
New puzzle pieces
Between the intensive work of the last few weeks, I have started to experiment a little for some upcoming works and projects in the studio. I often work with several works at the same time, even if it is in media or materials. It is a way for me to be able to develop projects without having to spend a lot of time on planning and implementation, which is otherwise most common when I work with my installations or set designs. Then it feels very fun to be able to do things on a smaller scale that can function as preliminary studies with testing new methods.
My processes involve putting a lot of puzzles together and finding different methods. Sometimes these exprements can be the keys to being able to solve larger projects. Therefore, I value this part of the process highly, even if it may not always be visible in a finished work.
22 April 2024
Exhibition in Hjåggsjö
I am happy to announce that I will participate and exhibit one of my works during this year's

Processes from the studio
Spring has reached the studio and several new sketches and experiments are taking shape in the studio. Some small and subtle scenographic fragments.
At the same time, I am working on developing a site-specific installation that I will soon be able to share. The work will be presented this summer and throughout the fall. So more information about this work will come shortly.
27 Mars 2024
New tab about Public Commissions
I also sometimes work with proposals for public art in public spaces. In the last year I have made several proposals and it is a fun way to develop my artistry and create new encounters with art for people in the public space.
I have now added a new category above on the website among the menu where you can take look
at them and read.
The image is taken from a news article photographed by Marcus Berglund.

The palliative department at Östersund Hospital.
The other day I received a nice email from Region Jämtland Härjedalen, which has placed one of my works from the Forecast Diaries series at the Palliative Care Department at Östersund Hospital. It feels very beautiful to know where my artwork ends up and to have a meaning for people who are going through something difficult and tough.
15 Mars 2024
Work on Restaurant Gondolen in Stockholm
One of my photographic works is now displayed at the entrance to Restaurang Gondolen in Stockholm. It feels good to show my work in this context, where guests can encounter the work in a cozy and convivial atmosphere.
Very happy to be able to make this possible. The work was photographed at the Flatens nature reserve in Stockholm, which makes it extra fun to present it in the same city.

- Good news x 2
I am happy that over two of my latest works will be part of the cultural plan in the Västerbotten region where I live and work. It feels very fun and full of honor that my works are in these documents where they describe plans for the culture within the next few years.
Also happy to announce that one of the works was recently purchased by Nässjö Municipality, which is already now located in their premises. The work is framed with a walnut frame in a box frame.

New projects have started!
I have now started new projects which are currently in process and unfortunately I cannot reveal anything now, but it feels really fun and exciting to realize ideas and thoughts I have had for a longer period.
Now during the winter I will also change my studio and hope to get started with a larger project that will involve several different materials, techniques and ways of expression which I will update here on the website on an ongoing basis.
A lot of work awaits, but it will also be fun to get to know new materials and find new methods of expressions.

My solo exhibition in Nässjö!
I feel a great sense of humility for presenting my biggest exhibition at Nässjö Konsthall. Samlad blick vid himlaranden is as much a poetic, as an investigative exhibition that depicts encounters with the landscapes in our surroundings and stories about them.
Vernissage on Saturday 2 December between 12:00 and 14:00 and then I will also be there to tell and convey about the exhibition. The exhibition runs until January 13, 2024.
Warm welcome to Nässjö Konsthall!

New works in process and other artworks on the way up
A little less than two weeks ago I spent in Ayr, Scotland which is right on the coast towards the Atlantic. During my stay I produced a new video work that I will be presented at my upcoming exhibition in Nässjö konsthall at the beginning of December.
Earlier in the fall, I produced some other new works that I will publish shortly on the website that I have been working on for the past few months.
27 October 2023
Planning in the studio
Currently working for my upcoming exhibition in Nässjö Konsthall, which opens at the beginning of December. The exhibition is one of my biggest so far, so there are many works to be planned into the model. It always feels gratifying to be able to present your artistry in new contexts.
A lot of work remains but it feels very nice to be able to plan in the studio while the snow is falling outside the window.

A review about the current exhibition
I am delighted to share this excellent and well-written review of my current exhibition. The text is written by Diana Berntsdotter Vallgren and can be read at the link below!
I am completely overwhelmed by all the great response, curiosity and interest in connection with Thursday's opening of my new exhibition at Härnösand's art gallery. Never seen people queuing and waiting outside an opening of a vernissage like this before.
Very happy and grateful to receive such a nice reception in a new city and this beautifully located art gallery. As you can see, I didn't have time to take many pictures from the opening, but there will be filmed material shortly where I give a presentation of the exhibition and also tell the background to it.

New experiences and materials
A really fun and successful working day after months of thoughts, ideas and planning. It is a blessing to have access to so much knowledge and expertise in new areas close to where you live.
Unfortunately I can't say much about today's work as it is under secrecy but one thing I can say is that I am looking forward to the coming weeks as I will continue with this project where I look forward to putting all the pieces together. Soon the goal is close!

Two new sculptures
During the last week I have been working on producing my new works for one of my exhibitions later this autumn. With the help of the sculptures were built up and placed in various places in the forests of Bohuslän. The works are part of a new larger suite that I will continue with for a longer period in the future. More info and the background to the sculptures will be available here on the website shortly.

Work continues during the summer
Summer is finally here, but work continues in full swing ahead of the autumn's various exhibitions and projects. Right now I am working on preliminary studies for new works that I will build up in the coming weeks on the west coast of Sweden. It feels really good to soon build new works again despite the heat. The works are a new branch of my artistry that I will present in the future. The preliminary studies and sketches on unprimed linen canvas and pastel.

Nature as a place and symbol of recovery
Now you can read texts and see a video documentation about my site-specific work that was presented in the show Torino, Italy.
In the work I explored the borderland between the personal dimension and nature as a function and place for recovery in
an urban city environment. Read more about the work there
13 April 2023
The spring is coming and running
The schedule is full and a lot of work awaits in the future both with exhibitions, assignments and projects.
Then it can be quite nice to just sit in peace and make a model for one of the autumn exhibitions. Slowly and slowly settling into new challenges that await at a comfortable distance.
16 Mars 2023
Archive research for new works
It is always just as exciting to go through photographic collections and archival material. The material will form the basis of my new works that I will produce during the spring. It is truly a favor to be so close to such a great image treasure and new knowledge from the people at Västerbottens museum.

The new exhibition is open
Many thanks to all of you who came yesterday to the opening. I am still completely overwhelmed by all the nice comments and words of encouragement! It means a lot to me personally to present this exhibition that shows a large part of my artistry with various projects and works that I have devoted myself to in recent years.
It feels fantastic to show this in this exhibition Our Scenery at Lidköping's art gallery in their beautiful premises. The exhibition runs until February 25 and follows the art gallery's regular opening hours. Warm welcome!
5 January 2023
Solo exhibition, Lidköpings konsthall
I have the great pleasure of inviting you to my solo exhibition at Lidköping's art gallery, which opens on Saturday, January 14.
This is by far my biggest exhibition to date. It feels exciting to show my various projects and works that span several media and years.
In my work with the exhibition "Our Scenery", I have delved into our relationship to the concept and meaning of landscape.
In recent years, in my artistry, I have worked with how the border between the personal dimension, nature and scenography can tell about our ideas about what we expect from a landscape but also how it is experienced or interpreted in our everyday life and storytelling tradition.
The exhibition runs until February 25 and follows the art gallery's regular opening hours.
A warm welcome to Lidköping Konsthall!

Research at children's hospital, Torino, Italy
Last week I received a beautiful message that there was an exciting workshop on the theme of mountain care rooms at the Regina Margherita Children's Hospital in Turin, Italy. The activity was based on my work which is currently exhibited in the exhibition The Mountain Touch at the Museo Nazionale della Montagna.
It feels great that the workshop focuses on developing a dialogue between natural elements and my artwork in this context, which was based on the theme of care and isolation. This initiative is based on young patients who are involved and were allowed to work with sensory activities with natural materials and examine the artists' techniques. This project is intended as a basis for research, with a particular focus on the concept of well-being. Which of course feels very honored that my works can be part of this context and at the same time can be significant for people in other places.
12 December 2022
Full plans for 2023
Now the schedule for almost 2023 is ready. It feels extra nice to go on Christmas leave and gather strength for all the exhibitions that awaits 2023. I always try to have exhibitions to work towards because I think it's easier to work towards set deadlines and at the same time which makes it possible to show new works.
10 December 2022
Exhibitions work
I am currently working full-time on the preparations for my upcoming solo exhibition at Lidköping konsthall, which opens in January. It feels really good to be able to show this exhibition that I have worked on for a long time.
24 November 2022
Research for upcoming installation
In my upcoming exhibition I will present a new work which is an installation with linen fabric. I have been working on creating a pattern with leaves from the Ornäsbjörk. It is a Swedish tree that was found in the middle of the 18th century, which is deeply rooted in our urban city and park environments today and is Sweden's national tree. The species can only survive with the help of man. Here is an extract from a Norwegian plant book from the late 19th century where the original tree is shown for the first time.

The Mountain Touch exhibition, curated by Andrea Lerda, continues Museomontagna’s Sustainability Program, launched in 2018. The exhibition presents the works of 14 Italian and international artists in dialogue with a scientific narrative curated by Federica Zabini and Francesco Meneguzzo, researchers at the Institute for BioEconomy of the National Research Council, which for years has been conducting the largest-ever experimental campaign on the effects of forest therapy and immersion in green environments together with the Italian Alpine Club and the Reference Center for Phytotherapy at the Aou Careggi in Florence.
I am very proud of the warm reception that people have expressed about my installation in this ongoing exhibition that opened last week. I will shortly update site with more installation images and text about my site-specific work the is presented in the exhibition which runs until April 2, 2023.

Solo exhibition, School of Economics
I am very happy about the nice hanging that was made at the School of Economics, the motifs from Forecast Diaries and how the frames blend so well into the space, I think it feels so obvious. It feels honored to let the entire suite of "Forecast Diaries" adorn their walls in front of the students and employees but also for visitors from outside.
The exhibition can be seen throughout the autumn on weekdays between 9am and 4pm. Welcome to enjoy at Sveavägen 65, Stockholm.

Fantastic exhibition!
I'm happy to finally share the news that I'm participating in a great group exhibition opening in November at the Museo Nazionale della Montagna in Turin, Italy. I will show a completely new and site-specific work that I have been working on for the past few months in close collaboration with the curator Andrea Lerda. It feels very flattering to be part of a fine production where art and science together with the latest research bear witness to man's need for nature, where it is discussed and made visible in a new light.
The exhibition "The Mountain touch" runs between November 4, 2022 - April 2, 2023. More information about the exhibition can be found at the link below.

Welcome to exhibition and art talk with Peter Stridsberg who will be presenting his series (photographs) Forecast Diaries 1 - 7 (2021) at Stockholm School of Economics with opening 26 October until the middle of December 2022.
The geographical locations where Peter Stridsberg temporarily finds himself, have been the source of inspiration in how we position ourselves in the outside world. During his residency at Nordiska Akvarellmuseet in Bohuslän in Sweden, he developed the project Forecast Diaries, where he explored how we are confronted with changes in uncertain times. With the help of recorded weather reports that describes the weather on the sea between Kattegatt and Skagerrak, he positions himself in front of the changes taking place in nature around him.

New group exhibition
Photo: Sanja Matoničkin
I am participating in a beautiful photo exhibition at Dunkers Kultuhus in Helsingborg. In 2012, the first photography class began at Fotoskolan Munka. Now, 10 years later, we are celebrating with an anniversary exhibition and have invited former students and teachers to show self-portraits.
One aspect of going to school is sharing a context with others for a while. Work side by side or together, before separating again. Some people will remain, in memory or in real life. You meet others now and then, but then no more. Regardless, these meetings leave an impression. The exhibition runs on October 9 2022.

Looking forward to this exhibition
At the beginning of next year I will have my biggest solo exhibition so far. It feels really counterintuitive to sit in the autumn darkness and work on this exhibition with new and older works side by side.
More information about the great exhibitions is coming during the autumn.

Talk with Anna Nordqvist Andersson
A nice conversation in Klippan's Konsthall with Anna Nordqvist Andersson. A conversation that was about my view of country painting and how it marked and shaped my artistry. But also of course about my methods that I use in my various projects. It was really fun to have this conversation together with Anna Nordqvist Andersson.
