På Sergels torg is a placemaking initiative in Stockholm. The aim is to revitalise Sergels torg, an iconic central plaza, into a space for people of all ages to experience art and culture. På Sergels torg offers year-round activities accessible to everyone in the heart of Stockholm. 2025 kicks off with performances, workshops, and exhibitions featuring both established and emerging artists. På Sergels torg is a collaboration between the City of Stockholm, local property owners and civil society. 

During Stockholm Art Week, artist Malin Gabriella Nordin will be painting the ceiling along Sergelarkaden from April 23 to May 18. The artwork will evolve in dialogue with the space's architecture and the movements within it. Derived from Nordin's sketches—both figurative and abstract—the motifs will spread across the ceiling, merging into a dynamic whole, unified by an intense blue hue. The ceiling painting can be experienced from different angles, shifting in appearance depending on one's viewpoint and movement. It may evoke a starry sky or drifting clouds, where various shapes and constellations emerge to tell their own stories.

Open 24/7

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.

During Stockholm Art Week, Galleri Helle Knudsen presents Björn Camenius third solo exhibition at the gallery, Transitions. The exhibition focuses on the process of creating and breaking down. The paintings are made up of layers that capture experiences, memories, and observations. They go through a dynamic change, similar to cycles in nature. The images shift between abstract and realistic forms, influenced by chance, making the final result unpredictable.

Quick brushstrokes, like short statements, are layered on top of each other, creating a sense of accumulated time within the painting, giving it its own story. The artist tries to capture perception and experience in their fleeting forms. Starting from pho tos, memories, and observations, the works take inspiration from the outside world but grow into something that references itself. Each piece undergoes a dynamic process of creating and dissolving —a reflection of nature's cycles, where things constantly break down and reshape. The images are in motion, shifting between abstract and realistic, between planning and chance. The paintings go through a process where the initial stages are often discarded, making the end result difficult to predict. There’s a kind of intense interaction between making and destroying, exploring contrasts from the restrained to the expressive.

Björn Camenius, born in 1987 in Västerås, lives and works in Gothenburg. He graduated from the Valand Academy in 2016. Since then, he has exhibited at places like Galleri Uddenberg in Gothenburg, Galleri Helle Knudsen in Stockholm, and Galleri Oxholm in Copenhagen, as we ll as in group shows at North Kunstmesse in Aalborg, Västerås Konsthall, Västerås Art Museum, and Galleri Thomassen in Gothenburg.

Open hours during Stockholm Art Week:
Tuesday – Thursday: 11.00 – 17.30
Friday – Saturday: 12.00 – 16.00

Wetterling Gallery was founded in Sweden in 1978 by Björn Wetterling. Through a dynamic schedule of exhibitions - of both highly acclaimed, international names, and emerging, Sweden-based artists - Wetterling became one of the leading contemporary art galleries in Scandinavia. We consider ourselves a long-term partner for artists, collectors, institutions, and visitors. By providing a unique and playful entrance to the art world, Wetterling Gallery stands for quality and relevance. Our goal is to make art available for a curious audience.

During Stockholm Art Week, Wetterling Gallery is proud to present Ed Ruscha´s exhibition FIGURE IT. Featuring paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints, the exhibition captures shifting emblems of American life over the past half-century and beyond. Ed Ruscha is widely regarded as one of the most influential artists of the pop generation. With a unique ability to harness the visual language of commercial advertising, he has created works that are both subtly powerful and poetically resonant. Ed Ruscha´s works of art speak to us with a cool, enigmatic tone—deceptively simple at first glance, yet rich with lingering meaning. At Market Art Fair, Wetterling Gallery is pleased to present the work of artist Amy Simon. A selection of her drawings—this time exploring landscapes and urban vistas—will also be on view at the gallery.

The gallery is open weekdays 11.00 – 17.00

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 Siiri Jüris’ second exhibition with the gallery, entitled To Melt into Your Soil and Sprout as a Flower. This new body of work focuses on coexistence in both the content and medium of her works. Can painting, which has historically been considered a symbol of high culture, exist in symbiosis with the possibilities that artificial intelligence and digital technology provide? Jüris has said that she started using digital tools and artificial intelligence by asking the question of whether and how they could affect her manual work process. Curiosity led her to conduct her first experiments a few years ago. One can find bodyscapes, mystical worlds of her own and distorted perspectives in Jüris’s technically professional and eye-catching works. At first glance, it may even be difficult to understand what one is seeing. Some works have been made by hand, others modelled using 3D printing. The title of the exhibition expresses aptly how artificial intelligence and digital tools can merge into traditional painting and sprout from the seed as something completely new. During the week the artist herself will be present at the gallery. More information to follow.

Siiri Jüris (1992) is an Estonian painter currently living and working in Uppsala, Sweden. She holds a BA and MA in Painting from the University of Tartu (2015, 2017) and an MFA from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm (2021). Her paintings are created through an intuitive, slow, and layered process, in which the acrylic material is treated as an active agent, allowing unexpected forms and patterns to emerge. She uses the vibrancy and dullness, fluidity and transparency of the acrylic to create a strong visual experience, combining classical painting techniqueswith arts and crafts and post-internet aesthetics.

Opening hours during Stockholm Art Week:

Tuesday – Friday: kl. 11.00–18.00
Saturday: kl. 12.00–16.00
