Despite of the complete snow chaos that came to Stockholm yesterday C and I decided to defy the wet weather by spending the afternoon at Fotografiska;
"Located in the heart of Stockholm, the museum has an exhibition space of 2 500 square meters, and will feature 4 major exhibitions per year and approximately 15 - 20 minor exhibitions. At Fotografiska, we aim to engage and inspire a dialogue on photography via exhibitions, seminars, and courses, in addition to actively working toward the acquisition of contemporary photography for our permanent collection."
A few of the inspiring exhibitions that we saw were; "Lady Warhol" by Christopher Makos, Sarah Moon, "Guatemala" by Jean-Marie Simon, "Exploding Plastic Ineviatble" feat. Andy Warhol & The Velvet Underground by Ronald Nameth and "Creeping in Circles" by Nils Olof Hedenskog & Joakim Brolin.
I believe that my two favourites from the names listed above were "Creeping in Circles" and a few of the fashion photographies taken by Sarah Moon;
"After concluding a successful modeling career, she made a name for herself as one of the first female photographers of haute couture. The images Moon created for the French fashion houses Chanel and Cacharel, as well as her legendary color compositions for Comme des Garçons, speak an extraordinarily poetic language. Moon’s career began with her fashion images; however, fashion photography makes up just a small part of her oeuvre."
I absolutely recommend the exhibition since each and every photography/painting has its own story to tell. Not to mention the splendid panorama view from the museum's café at the top floor, make sure to plan the visit on a sunny day and not like C and I did yesterday.
Sadly it was completely grey and we could hardly see anything. Still we had fun anyway :) To learn more about the exhibitions click on the links above!
