Program during Konstrundan

This year I will be opening my space for visitors. I'm working on two exhibitions and have been having a productive year. I would like to be there to welcome people and be able to make myself more available to visitors who are interested in knowing more about the work processes and ideas behind them. That's why I decided this year not to offer art workshops at the same time as the visiting days when the event will be in progress.
