Situated where Lake Mälaren flows into the Baltic Sea, an archipelago that encompasses tens of thousands of islands shelters the city. The City was founded in the mid 13’th century by King Birger Jarl. Today, Greater Stockholm is a modern metropolis with 1,6 million residents. The Swedish Parliament and the Government are based in Stockholm, along with a ma- jority of the country’s authorities and head offices of multinational corporations. The educational level is high, and the region is one of the most research-intensive in Europe. It is possible to swim and fish in the very center of Stockholm because of the success in purifying waste water, the use of district heating, recycling and environmentally friendly mass transit. Cost of living and staying is low in Stockholm. According to the latest CRG Cost of Living Rankings Worldwide, Stockholm has fallen in the rankings. The strong US dollar causes Stockholm to rank lower than for example London, Geneva, Oslo, Paris, Co- penhagen and other European cities. Many major events take place in Stockholm every year. The most prestigious one is the annual Nobel Prize Award ceremony in December. 12 WHY STOCKHOLM? STOCKHOLM, SMALL TOWN – BIG CITY · Stockholm is served by 70 airlines offering more than 700 regular flights a day. · There are 250 hotels in the county of Stockholm with a total of 25,681 hotel rooms (34,780 hotel beds). More than 8,000 of these hotel rooms are situated within 20 minutes walk from the central Station. · A wide range of modern and flexible conference facilities which can cater to between 2 and 16,000 people · Swedes are known for their friendly nature and excellent English. · Stockholm is a small Town and a Big City - it offers a wide selection of shops and department stores, more than 60 museums as well as over 700 restaurants - 26 of which are listed in Guide Michelin. And most of it is within walking distance! · Stockholm has a highly developed infrastructure and, most importantly, Stockholm is a safe city, in all aspects. · Stockholm is pure Beauty on Water ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN · The Swedish Government’s overall environmental policy objective is to solve Swe- den’s major environmental problems within a generation, i.e. 25 years. · The City of Stockholm is making several major investment in environment, such as for example investing in environmentally friendly vehicles · The world’s first urban national park is situated in Stockholm, consisting of a con- tinuous stretch of greenery extending from the Fjäderholmarna islands to Djurgården, and on to Haga-Brunnsviken, Frescati and Ulriksdal. SHOPPING · The abundant shopping supply in Stockholm is wide enough to satisfy even the most capricious and fickle shopper - from those looking for something more exclusive, to those just wanting a simple gift or memorable souvenir. · Some shops/department can make special offers to delegates of large international congresses. Requests for such arrangements can be made through Congress Stock- holm. You can shop tax-free if you come from a country outside the European Union and Scandinavia. Most shops are open 10 am - 6 pm Monday - Friday, and 10 - 2 pm Saturday. Department stores are generally open on Sundays too, from 12 - 4 pm. Most businesses accept VISA, Mastercard, Eurocard and American Express. 13 UNIVERSITIES & COLLEGES · Stockholm is the main center for industrial research in Scandinavia and houses several of Scandinavia's most prestigious scientific institutions. · All the main scientific and technical disciplines are taught here and more than 55 000 students are enrolled at the various universities, institutions and colleges located in Stockholm. Royal Institute of Technology · Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan, KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) is among the foremost technical universities in the world and the number 1 center in Swe- den for education and research in our field of work. KTH gains knowledge and develops new products in co-operation with international research teams with efforts made to put these results to practical use in Swedish industry as well as in society as a whole. · A large portion of Sweden’s requirements for highly qualified technical staff, in- dustrial enterprise personnel and people with the skills to maintain our social in- frastructure is supplied by architects, engineers and Ph.D. graduates schooled at KTH Stockholm University · The Stockholm University is a city university, which operates, in close co- operation with today’s society - both from local

  • Queer in the Museum Methodological Reflections on Doing Queer in Museum Collections
    Patrik Steorn Queer in the museum Methodological reflections on doing queer in museum collections n the summer of 2008, when Stockholm hosted Euro Pride, Ithe term “queer” and the acronym “HBT” (Swedish for LGBT) appeared all over the Stockholm museum world. Several muse- ums such as the Dance Museum, Hallwyl Museum, Museum of National Antiquities, Museum of Modern Art and the National Museum of Fine Arts gave “queer tours” of their permanent col- lections, some museums such as the Army Museum presented a queer reading of their general exhibitions using impermanent information panels, and a few institutions, such as the National Museum of Fine Arts, Police Museum and the Nordic Museum, organized temporary exhibitions on queer themes. An independ- ent exhibition initiative called § 1, referring to the first paragraph in the Declaration of Human Rights, consisted of a gallery space that was shared by the Nobel Prize Museum, National Museum of Science and Technology, National Maritime Museum, and Army Museum. Each participating institution had their individ- ual display and there was an accompanying pamphlet, to which the Museum of Ethnography also contributed. Nation-wide media reported on these initiatives, the audience came in large 119 Patrik Steorn numbers, media reported on the success and it seemed like queer perspectives made a successful entrance into the Stockholm mu- seum world.1 Gender studies scholar Vanja Hermele has recently pointed out that through temporary exhibitions and collaborations with feminist and queer artists and curators Swedish art institutions tend to profile themselves as much more radical than they actu- ally are.2 Directing a critical eye to the museum queer venture in Stockholm 2008 my impression is that the exhibitions, tours and display interventions did not achieve a necessary critical analysis of norms and tended to engage with queer perspectives only on a surface level.

  • Unveiling the Storytelling Processes in the Reception of Hilma Af Klint from the 1980S and 2010S
    BREAKING MYTHS! Unveiling the storytelling processes in the reception of Hilma af Klint from the 1980s and 2010s Anni Reponen Department of Culture and Aesthetics Master’s thesis 45 HE credits Art History International Master’s Programme in Art History (120 credits) Spring term 2020 Supervisor: Andrea Kollnitz BREAKING MYTHS! Unveiling the storytelling processes in the reception of Hilma af Klint from the 1980s and 2010s Anni Reponen ABSTRACT This thesis studies the critical reception of Hilma af Klint trough three exhibitions: Spiritual in Art – Abstract Painting 1890-1985 (Los Angeles, 1986), Secret Pictures by Hilma af Klint, (Helsinki, 1988) and Hilma af Klint – A Pioneer of Abstraction (Stockholm, 2013), addressing the crucial prominent figures and voices in the discursive field around af Klint. The aim is carried out through the Critical Discourse Analysis by Norman Fairclough, coupled with Pierre Bourdieu's concept of the cultural field and habitus. Judith Butler's theory of gender performance completes the theoretical framework by addressing issues of gender in both af Klint's practice as well as in the analysed critical reviews. The thesis examines how the discourses about af Klint changed during different periods of time in the 1980s and the 2010s. The central hypothesis is that this case study can be used as an example to see how the art field presents women artists as a marginal phenomenon instead of including them in the general art historical canon. But the reception of af Klint cannot be fully understood through the lens of gender; thus, e.g. the closeness to the occult is considered both as a leading mechanism in the artistic practice, creating interest towards af Klint, and as an identity which pushes her to the marginal.

  • The Life of André Lhote
    The Life of André Lhote Dominique Bermann Martin 1885-1919 The Apprentice Years: The self-learned. The formative influences he acquired and applied. His admirations, friendships and rejections André Lhote was born in Bordeaux on 5 July 1885. It was the same year as Robert and Sonia Delaunay, Roger de la Fresnaye and Marie Laurencin.1 Nothing indicated his artistic or intellectual careers. His parents were poor, his father was a municipal employee, working as a guardian in the town’s cemetery, and his mother an embroiderer. His schooling was terminated with the primary school certificate,2 after which he became an apprentice in cabinetmaking at the Courbaterre workshop, working at ornamental wood-carving. From this time, An- dré Lhote developed an irresistible need to paint (Fig. 1). Lhote’s first chance at a life as an artist came from his boss, Mr Courbaterre, an amateur painter in his spare time, who also taught wood carving at the School of Fine Arts in Bordeaux. Thanks to him, and by following his courses, Lhote was allowed access to the paint workshops at this school until he was 20. As well as his apprenticeship and his lessons at the School of Fine Arts, André Lhote trekked the countryside on Sundays, painting landscapes on bits of card- board.3 He explained: “I used to read in the workshop, hiding a book tied on a string, under my overalls, so that it wouldn’t fall if I needed to hide it. What could I do? I needed to learn. I purchased books no longer needed by friends richer than 1 By comparison, here are some birth dates of painters who were his contemporaries: Raoul Dufy (1877), Albert Gleizes (1881), Pablo Picasso (1882), Jean Metzinger (1883), Diego Rivera (1886), Marc Chagall (1887).
