The aim is to bring together the participants with their experiences, professions, interests and cultures with artists, poets, growers and other active in culture and leisure.

With new knowledge, new business and larger networks, KÄRAHÄR wants to give participants the opportunity to run their own activities after the end of the project. The museum director Andreas Brändström and Kvinnor Tilsammans they have set up a greenhouse and a ceramic workshop in Kristinehamn, a small town outside of Stockholm.

Dafna Maimon Camp Solong – Nonstop Sunset
8 June – 30 July, 2017
Camp counselors Dafna Maimon & Ethan Hayes-Chute together with curator and camp philosopher Jonatan Habib Engqvist help to make saying goodbye easier. Camp Solong invites you to welcome your goodbyes with play and delight. Get a bunk with your own personal shelf, dig a hole, and learn to say goodbye to your new-found friends. You will get insights into how to rid yourself of emotional baggage, and perhaps find the key to the joy of separation in the grab bag of your soul. Taking play seriously means letting yourself momentarily lose your foothold. Together we learn to bid each other farewell. This will be a lifelong memory.

Egill Sæbjörnsson at the 57th Venice Biennale
13 May – 26 November, 2017
Egill Sæbjörnsson represents Iceland at the 57th Venice Biennale. Egill’s project OUT OF CONTROLL IN VENICE has been led by Ügh and Bõögâr two Icelandic trolls. Upon arrival the visitors are greeted with a coffee before they enter their man-eating worlds and heads only to become part of their worlds as well. Egill tells how they met but we give them life and make them real. Through sound and animation we learn about their activities in Venice and how Klaus Biesenbach tastes. They comment with humor on the art world while becoming marketable merchandise themselves. The online shop offers the book, their album, a fashion line and even Troll turds. Egill questions our perception of the world with an inclusive, fun-loving and self-reflective humorous approach.

Stefanie Böttcher the director of the Kunsthalle Mainz in Germany will curate the project.
Egill Sæbjörnsson’s work is an approach to experience, a mode of behaviour, a play. His oeuvre is performative in nature and entails the theatrical-artistic while playing with the image as interruption.

Thursday, 21 April, 2016
Opening 5–10pm
Welcome to the first home exhibition
The Night by
Alexandra Hopf within the residency
ABA (Air Berlin Alexander Platz). The future exhibition prototype presents a fragment of a new body of work inspirited by Alberto Giacometti’s text
The Dream, the Sphinx, and the Death of T.. Hopf illustrates the story of late. Written in 1946 and published in the journal
Labyrinthe Giacometti reveals his obsessions and anxieties while visually building his topography of remembrance. Reading from left to right in the hallway Hopf abstracts the first page of his text where he writes of his spider dream, which continues as he wakes up. Hopf has modified the text through its repetition. The reader enters a dream loop to discover illusory cycles.
