Nationalgalleriet

Nationalgalleriet, 25 years of age, is run by an artistic collective based on non profit and non commercial principles. The group unanimously decides what artist/show will be exhibited. The gallery does not have a specific artistic or ideological program, but tends to like artists with a bite, with an attitude, and is best known for its satirical group shows where absurdity is mixed with political and social comments. When it comes to solo shows the art is varied, from highbrow art to subversive underground.

DOPP I GRUMLIGT VATTEN / DIP INTO MUDDY WATERS
The show for Supermarket 2010 has been triggered by a debate article and speeches by the leader of the Christian Democratic Party, Göran Hägglund, who claims left wing artists and the culture establishment despise and look down on the ordinary citizen, the “Svenssons”, the people of reality. According to Hägglund we the artists are not only vicious but also have little contact with reality. The people of reality are to be found at the kitchen table where the family gathers to talk about real and ordinary things like taxation, school and the price of petrol. We dedicate this exhibition to our neighbours, colleagues and friends that are struggling to redefine reality.
