Carl Kylberg. with Colour Beyond the Surface 18 June – 25 September, 2016
Carl Kylberg. With colour beyond the surface 18 June – 25 September, 2016 Flowing brushwork and vibrant colours distinguish the Swedish artist Carl Kylberg’s (1878-1952) paintings of landscapes, figures and still lifes. He combined his artistic practice with a spiritual quest that imbues his oeuvre with an existential dimension. The dissolved shapes in his works were debated in both art and politics. This exhibition shows parts of Kylberg’s entire body of work, from the early paintings and cartoons from the 1910s, the children’s books and more colourful paintings from the 1920s, to his famous classical motifs from the 1930s and 40s. Kylberg’s breakthrough to the wider public came late, but he is counted as a key figure of Swedish art since the 1930s. The exhibition highlights the artist role and puts his paintings in the context of the period before, during and after the Second World War. Ernest Thiel, the founder of The Thiel Gallery, stopped collecting art after selling his collections to the Swedish state in 1924. In 1937, Thiel was asked in an interview in Nya Dagligt Allehanda, one of the national daily papers, what he thought of the latest modern art. Thiel replied that he had recently seen Carl Kylberg’s exhibition at the Royal Academy Of Fine Arts in Stockholm: “It was a revelation. Swedish art is in a promising state of development...” Thiel never bought any works by Kylberg, but there are parallels between the artist’s spirituality and Ernest Thiel’s interest in belief systems and philosophy. Kylberg’s constant self-examination and search for meaning beyond material values still is relevant today.

Without a Trace? 17 the Sámi in the Swedish History Museum
Nordisk Museologi 2015 • 2, s. 17–32 Without a trace? 17 The Sámi in the Swedish History Museum Marte Spangen Abstract: Around 2005, the Swedish History Museum (SHM) in Stockholm reworked their Vikings exhibition, aiming to question simplistic and erroneous understandings of past group identities. In the process, all references to the Sámi were removed from the exhibition texts. This decision has been criticised by experts on Sámi pasts. In this article, it is argued that we can talk about a Sámi ethnic identity from the Early Iron Age onwards. The removal of references to the Sámi in the exhibition texts is discussed accordingly, as well as the implicit misrepresentations, stereotypes and majority attitudes that are conveyed through spatial distribution, choice of illustrations, lighting, colour schemes and the exhibition texts. Finally, some socio-political reasons for the avoidance of Sámi issues in Sweden are suggested, including an enduring colonialist relation to this minority. Keywords: Sámi pasts, exhibitions, Vikings, past group identities, ethnicity, stereotypes, Sweden, politics of the past, colonialism. This article discusses the dissemination of offering sites in northern Sweden2 where such Sámi culture and history in the Swedish objects have been found. In addition, early History Museum (SHM) in Stockholm. The twentieth century excavations revealed large background for the study1 was work on an amounts of animal bones and reindeer antlers article about the Sámi offering site, Unna Saiva, (Hallström 1915, 1932, Manker 1957:167– from which some of the archaeological finds 168, Salmi et al. 2015).
