Siiri Jüris, Galleri Duerr, 2025

Galleri Duerr, located in Stockholm’s vibrant gallery district at Hudiksvallsgatan 6, is a contemporary art space owned and directed by Deborah Duerr. The gallery presents a diverse range of Swedish and international artists, working across mediums such as painting, sculpture, photography, and performance art. 

During Stockholm Art Week, Galleri Duerr presents Joanne Grüne-Yanoff's second exhibition with the gallery.
In Cassandra’s Escape, visitors are invited into a hidden room where a towering sculpture stretches from earth to sky. The air shimmers with sound—bird wings, heartbeats, whispers, and the song of nightingales. Along the room’s edges, glass flasks line the walls, each containing wax, feathers, wings, twigs, threads, and texts—small vessels of memory and imagination, rooted in both earth and sky. Above them, the walls come alive with images of transformation: hands entangled with threads and wings, texts woven with stories, shifting Cassandras poised for flight. Together, these elements form a sanctuary of reflection, revealing Cassandra’s journey through contemplation, flight, and fleeting escape. During the week the artist herself will be present at the gallery. More information to follow.

Joanne Grüne-Yanoff is an interdisciplinary artist whose poetic work traces the myth of Cassandra—a grounded being whose gaze turns skyward, forever contemplating the act of flight. Her work is represented in the collections of Woodmere Art Museum, Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Free Library of Philadelphia, Region Västernorrland, Region Kalmar, Apotekets Konstförening, Handelsbankens Konstförening, Judisk Kultur i Sverige, Alma Löv Museum, as well as in numerous private collections.
