Market Extended

Water, according to Bergmark Näsman, has always held a uniquely unifying role in public space. Unlike traditional artworks, which can feel exclusive or obscure, a fountain is immediately accessible. It demands nothing from its viewer, yet offers a gentle presence _soothing, rhythmic, and deeply familiar. It invites people to pause, converse, and reflect. In doing so, it has the potential to dissolve the invisible barriers that often separate art from daily life.

By placing a fountain in this historically layered and architecturally intentional garden, Fabian Bergmark Näsman is not only honoring its past but also continuing its spirit, allowing the fountain to exist as a living presence within a space long defined by connection and exchange.

Danish artist Fredrik Tydén’s sculptures exist in a state of flux, navigating between acceleration and deceleration, form and formlessness. His works do not represent fixed objects, but rather temporary structures in transformation – where new forms emerge from the remnants of old ones. They embody an ongoing process of construction and breakdown, presenting themselves as sites of continuous translation.

Central to Tydén’s practice is an openness to time – both as immediate action and as historical progression. His approach to sculpture reflects a dynamic relationship with materiality, engaging with the evolving nature of spatiality, production, and the shifting histories of form.

On the terrace of Liljevalchs, you’ll find his 2022 sculpture Namirrha on view.

Galleri Duerr presents a series of cast-aluminum sculptures and sculptural works in neon by Karin Lind for Market Extended. Each sculpture is an original and carries the imprint of the hand, cast in aluminum. First sculpted in clay, then molded in plaster, it is finally brought to life in metal. The material’s reflective shine reveals its distinct voice, capturing light and form with powerful expression.

At the terrace of Liljevalchs, the sculptures Siare / Seer, Uppburen / Revered, and Bärare I and II / Bearer form a quiet dialogue – each a reflection of strength, presence, and becoming.

Dutch sculptor Iris le Rütte work is seen as figurative but not realistic, and fairytale-like, in which silhouettes, shadows, mirror images, human forms and animals play an important role. At the fair, bronze sculpture “Empathy is finding Echoes” will be found on the lawn of Blå Porten.

Stairway Installation, Liljevalchs+ (Fourth Floor)

Galleri Magnus Karlsson presents a site-specific assemblage by Petra Lindholm as part of Market Extended. The monumental work will premiere in the stairway of Liljevalchs+, located on the fourth floor.

Petra Lindholm works with various techniques and moves freely between the digital and two-dimensional, and the analogue and tactile. She alternates between textile works, sound, and moving images.

Her assemblages may initially appear to be paintings, but are in fact made of textiles. Using thin fabrics in different colours, she applies them in multiple layers with glue onto panels.

Lindholm strives for an artistic process that embraces randomness and spontaneity. Her images grow organically as she adds new layers and physically works the surfaces with her hand and knife. In this new work for Market Extended, she has used a landscape motif, while giving the abstract and physical elements more freedom than before.

Lower galleries, Liljevalchs+

In the lower gallery of Liljevalchs+, two neon sculptural works by Karin Lind are on view.

Neon evokes the fleeting light we see when we close our eyes—a quiet moment where external sight fades and introspection begins. Inbetween Eyes explores the space between seeing and knowing, inviting reflection on the images, memories, and sensations that appear behind closed eyelids.

In Anna Tedestam’s world, it is the directness and intensity of life around us that is given form in clay. Her artistic expression is burlesque, spasmodic and straightforward, her temperament simultaneously fragile and bombastic. This paradox generates a sleepless and aesthetic seriality combined with a craftsmanship as driven as it is challenging.

Discernible in her work, expressed in both painterly and three-dimensional form, is a sense of exploration that is ultimately about making decisions. When, for instance, it is time to stop leaving traces on a surface or instead proceed with another layer, adding more and more until the resulting expression must be peeled off and covered over. In altering the outcome of the work with the power of her hand, there is nevertheless a respect and an attentiveness. Her inner creativity is guided by such questions as ‘What happens next?’ and ‘What can this form manage without?’

For Market Extended she presents a series of works, located in the downstairs gallery of Liljevalchs+
