This Must Be The Place

The Artbook: This Must Be The Place

The Place features 43 young contemporary artists from Sweden. The idea was to create a project where young people choose young people’s art instead of the classic ”Old Curator – Young Artist-syndrome”. Our vision has been to create one alternative to an existing narrow needlehead (often old gallerists) where young artists have to pass to be published or exhibited.

SHORT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT:

  • 2500 pictures were sent in to the project by over 300 artists.
  • 900 attended the Book Release & Exhibition held in Stockholm.
  • Book Release & Exhibition, Stockholm (April 2010) and in Buenos Aries (Nov 2010-Jan 2011).
  • 102 artworks from 43 young artists were selected.
  • The project has partly been funded by the European Union via the Swedish National Board for Youth Affairs.
