Several artists have contributed their representations of landscapes and the interaction between humans and nature, with works ranging from the 16th century to the present day.

Jonathan Josefsson - OLLIO
Under the alias OLLIO, Jonathan Josefsson has explored vast spaces both in Sweden and around the world, fascinated by the temporary nature of paintings and the space they occupy. His artistic expression has continuously evolved through experiments with new materials and techniques. Josefsson has also created tufted rugs. These rugs, like his paintings, are characterized by vibrant organic forms. In the exhibition ‘Eternal Search,’ textile works and painting are brought together, and in addition, OLLIO will create a painting directly on the wall in the museum’s art hall.

Sara Ekholm Eriksson - Ängeln & Valen (the Angel & the Whale")
Through sculptures and installations, artist Sara Ekholm Eriksson represents the changing processes and metamorphoses of nature. She sculptures in limestone, a material that once was shaped at the bottom of the sea. Fossils are refined into opals and glass turns into melting ice that drips and creates puddles.
The exhibition is a kind of microcosm, a concentration of the site’s geological layers and spiritual worlds. It is situated at the point of tension between two magnitudes or perspectives on the world—the spiritual and the scientific.
In The Angel & the Whale, the story of a whale vertebra is in the centre. When it was found at Gräsö in the 1840s people believed to be a giants’ bone, kept in the Church and a proof that the teaching of the Flood was true
Köttinspektionen, September 23th – October 8th
BEING – ME - Katarina Sundkvist Zohari
This exhibition presents an exploration through sculpture and etching. Sundkvist Zohari takes her own inner reflections and reactions to world events as her starting point and guides us through a narrative where each element is connected to the idea of ‘system collapse.’ Why can’t humanity agree? Reach agreements? Come together?

Träden de tala ("Talking Trees")
This entire exhibition project has its roots in the trees of Hospitalets Park. Several of these trees are exceptional due to their size and rarity and can only be found here on site. The artists have each chosen a tree as a starting point for their artistic expressions, which may include performance, sculpture, video, painting, or other art forms.

Lars Tunbjörk
The photographer Lars Tunbjörk (1956-2015) possessed a unique ability to view Sweden in a way few others could. Through his sharp and ironic photographic eye, but also with tenderness in his work, he shed light on the country from a peripheral perspective. From his hometown of Borås, Lars Tunbjörk’s successful career spread worldwide. His distinctive way of seeing the world became so influential that the term ‘tunbjörkare’ was even coined to describe a specific photographic genre. His work constituted a fascinating narrative, documentation, and outstanding art.
