Christopher West, Eva-Teréz Gölin, Jonas (J) Magnusson & Cecilia Grönberg and Linnea Dalstrand.
Linnea Dalstrand lives and works in Fengersfors, in northern Dalsland. Her practice moves between textile sculpture and spatial installation, most often constructed and draped on site. Drawing on the history of the curtain as a point of departure, she finds inspiration in monumental architectural voids, lavishly decorated surfaces, and expansive lengths of fabric. She is also fascinated by the historical abundance of textiles in both private interiors and public spaces—from the functional hanging textile to the curtain as a symbol of ornament and luxury. Linnea works closely with textile yardage, which she processes through dyeing and sewing.

Eva-Teréz Gölin lives and works in Gothenburg. Her practice is rooted in the digital photographic image and in our shared perceptions of the photographic medium. For about a decade, Gölin has used core photographic concepts—such as time, place, and indexicality—as a form of resistance in her exploration of photography’s outer edges. Central to her work are also methods for transforming and make visible the immaterial information embedded in digital image files into a physical dimension, where pixels and digital artefacts are imbued with intrinsic value rather than merely functioning as vessels for the image.

Jonas (J) Magnusson & Cecilia Grönberg are editors, writers, artists, and researchers based in Stockholm and Paris. Since 2001, they have collaborated on a wide range of publishing projects, including books, magazines, and exhibitions. Their work often engages with themes such as archives, images, documents, montage, place, and alternative approaches to historiography. Since the early 2000s, they have also run the publishing platform OEI—a magazine for extra-disciplinary spaces and de-disciplinising moments.
