Galerie S:t Petri’s fourteenth exhibition since its opening in September last year has been titled Sommar Expo 72. It is a group exhibition, the second of its kind, and no fewer than 27 different artists are participating, most of them residing in Sweden. Some are already well known, while others are making their debut.
The exhibition is not organized around a specific theme; in other words, the works are not specially created for this event. Instead, each exhibitor presents one or two works that are representative of him.
The idea behind the group exhibition is that everyone—both younger and older artists, regardless of artistic direction—should be able to find a sense of fellowship in a simple, friendly, and non-institutional way, without commercial interests on the part of the gallery.
Galerie S:t Petri strives to function as a miniature cultural forum, presenting various tendencies and directions within art. With Sommar Expo 72 the gallery hopes to have taken yet another step toward this goal.
The exhibition runs from 2 – 21 June.
Press viewing will take place on Thursday, June 1 at 2:00 PM.
