Exhibitions 2026

16 January – 1 February

Studio 44 opens the new year with In-betweenness, an exhibition featuring five of the gallery’s new members. The exhibition brings together artists at the most elusive stage of the creative process—the moment of transition. In-betweenness presents works in motion: between material and body, between the visible and that which vibrates just beneath the surface.

Curator: Ali Ardalan.

6 – 22 February

This Is my Planet Affish 2026 Studio44

The exhibition invites you to open your senses to the idea of a planet where you are both a guest and a co-owner. No matter where in the world you were born, constrained by national borders drawn in the aftermath of wars that have needlessly cost countless lives, a declaration is made: This planet belongs to me just as much as it belongs to you.

Curated by Lena Rammi and Ekaterina Sisfontes.

27 February – 15 March

Two artistic practices and their shared project are presented in this maximalist exhibition featuring film, photography, painting, and more. Several collaborative projects have taken place since the duo first met in 2016. Don’t miss their first joint exhibition!a

20 March – 12 April

In the summer of 2023, four members of Studio 44, together with the invited Berlin-based artist Hanna Sjöberg, presented the exhibition ORT at Maskinhuset in Kärrgruvan and at Galleri Norberg. A standalone continuation of the project is now being presented. We gather around concepts associated with vast, structural voids—shaft, cut, blasting, excavation—and the word ort in its various meanings related to direction and the designation of place.

17 April – 3 May

Fragments is concerned with what remains when functions have ceased—what has been forgotten and thus transformed in the absence of the context that once gave it meaning.

Project Manager: Kjell Hansson.

Participation in Kulturnatten on April 18, 2026.

17 April – 3 May

SUPERMARKET Stockholm Independent Art Fair: Gala

Penja Hesselbäck

In the Erskine Building in the Slakthusområdet, Studio 44 proudly presents:

Mig kan man ha i möblerade rum
With Penja Hesselbäck

An exhibition, cinema, museum, and more about P, a fictional female film pioneer from the turn of the last century. Filled with fact-based fantasies and accurate inaccuracies, it takes shape as an exposé of a rich and dynamic artistic life—one that was never lived, yet has nevertheless left deep traces.

5 – 7 June

Report from a Residency in Tirana

Maria BackmanMariana Ekner och Nina Wedberg-Thulin

In the encounter with the city, the works took shape: half-finished house structures bearing witness to dreams left unfulfilled; local materials and landscapes carrying their own stories; and a house whose former inhabitants are recalled through an interactive choral work that invites audience participation. The exhibition brings together traces from the residency—from sketch-like investigations to finished works—and opens onto questions about the city, its formation, and its transformation.
