For more than 25 years, Körsbärsgården in southern Gotland was one of Sweden's most distinctive meeting places for contemporary art. With a personal vision and an international outlook, Marita and Jon Jonsson created a place where art, architecture and nature met in constant dialogue. What began as a new life on Gotland grew into a vibrant art scene that drew artists and visitors from near and far.
In this second part of the presentation of the Körsbärsgården collection, we turn our attention to a younger generation of artists. Each year, a graduating student from one of Sweden's art academies was selected and invited to exhibit at Körsbärsgården. Making room for new artistic voices and creating encounters between established and emerging artists was a key part of Körsbärsgården's mission. Here you'll find a number of works from these exhibitions, shown alongside works by artists such as Björn Erling Evensen, Ulf Wahlberg and Evert Lindfors.
Together, the works tell the story of a place where new artistic practices were able to take shape and where art always took centre stage. You are warmly welcome to explore the second part of the presentation of the Körsbärsgården collection.
