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!

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 in 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.

New 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.

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.

Soloexhibition, 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 am part of
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.

Solo exhibition in Stockholm
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.
