Konsthall C is an art gallery, public artwork, and an experiment in urban renewal, located in a former communal laundry in the iconic neighborhood of Hökarängen in Southern Stockholm. Since its inception in 2004, the gallery has evolved from an artist-run project space to become an established contemporary art platform seeking to support visionary experiments in artistic production and presentation.

The gallery offers several exhibition spaces, an AiR platform, a citizens’ archive, and a network of local artists. Rights issues, artists’ working conditions, sustainable city planning, and local engagement are all topics that have informed Konsthall C from the start. This influences not only the art we show but the organization as a whole.

Our current artistic director, Ulrika Flink, has led an incredibly successful program, featuring notable international artists as well as intimate projects deeply embedded in the local context. She has led Konsthall C through turbulent times, creating space to reflect on the many challenges our world has faced in recent years.

An example of her work is our upcoming residency focusing on climate change and social justice.

We are now seeking new artistic leadership for a 3-year period, starting earliest in January 2024.

We are looking for applications that are visionary, experimental, daring, and caring. Applications that are simultaneously looking curiously at the very local context, and reflecting a global perspective. More specifically, we are looking for proposals that address art and human rights, collective practices, democracy, contemporary art and urban planning. The directorship does not only consist of curatorial work. It is the intent that the proposal, and direction, shall inform the overall workings of Konsthall C.

We encourage art workers with a strong interest in collective practices, as well as established collectives and project-based initiatives, to submit their applications. Please describe your prior knowledge of collective processes, as well as an intended structure, if you are more than one person applying.

Visit our website for more information about this job posting and the application procedure.

The deadline for application ends at 11:59 pm CET on Friday, July 14, 2023. The appointment is expected to take place in August 2023. The tenure commences in January 2024.
