Art kiosk #6

The starting point is a former flower kiosk on S:t Knuts väg in Sorgenfri, Malmö, and is currently operated as a mobile kiosk. The project has previously taken place in public spaces during meetings with citizens on four occasions in Malmö, Vellinge, and Trelleborg, where Konstkiosk has conducted historical and site-specific research and held exhibitions with artists, architects, and theorists, and presented five publications.

This summer, Konstkiosk visits Sylvanderparken in central Kalmar, Konstkiosk#6. In an art and research project concerning coastal erosion, through a research and dialogue effort, they aim to explore the subject from the perspective of artistic conditions by collaborating with a research team and creating a platform for a free artistic discourse intended to communicate with civil society. Coastal erosion and rising sea levels are issues they already addressed in the project Konstkiosk#4 in Trelleborg, which is one of the cities along the Swedish coast that is located in a risk area for sea level rise and coastal erosion.

Vernissage and opening hours

Konstkiosk#6 has its vernissage on June 10 at 11:00 in Sylvanderparken, Kalmar.

Open Saturdays and Sundays.

Program events are arranged together with the researchers, students, and others from the COALA project who will act in and around Konstkiosk#6.

Konstkiosk#6 is funded by Formas, the Swedish Arts Council, and the Småland Triennial. The project owner is the Swedish Geotechnical Institute in collaboration with Kalmar Municipality, SMHI, SLU, and KTH.

Konstkiosk is operated by the association Konstkiosk, which is a non-profit organization that started in 2018. The initiators of the project are Christel Lundberg, artist and producer and director of Tjörnedala art hall, and Peter Dacke, artist represented at Moderna Museet, Stockholm, who teaches, among other things, at the Department of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management.
