Konstakademien (the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts ) Lena Mattsson 20 March–1 May 2027


I am deeply proud, delighted, and grateful to have been awarded an exhibition scholarship from the Gerard Bonniers Fund. The grant enables the realisation of an exhibition accompanied by a catalogue at Konstakademien (the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts), Fredsgatan 12, Stockholm.

It is truly a great honour to be able to present my works at this distinguished and historic art institution.

From the bottom of my heart, I wish to extend a particularly warm and personal thank you to the Gerard Bonniers Fund, to the members of the Academy, the jury, the exhibition coordinator, the permanent secretary, and all others involved at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts. Your support and generosity touch me deeply and mean an immense amount to my artistic practice – especially as I now, after so many years, return to the very place where, as a young person aged 14–15, I undertook an internship and made the decision to devote myself to a free and reflective artistic practice.

The exhibition period is set for 20 March–1 May 2027.

You are warmly welcome!

I wish you all a happy new year!

With many warm regards,
Lena Mattsson.

Hela texten på Svenska:

Jag är djupt stolt, glad och tacksam över att ha tilldelats ett utställningsstipendium ur Gerard Bonniers fond. Stipendiet möjliggör genomförandet av en utställning med tillhörande katalog vid Konstakademien (Kungl. Akademien för de fria konsterna), Fredsgatan 12 i Stockholm.

Det är sannerligen en stor ära att få visa mina verk i denna anrika konstinstitution.

Jag vill från djupet av mitt hjärta rikta ett särskilt varmt och personligt tack till Gerard Bonniers fond, till akademiens ledamöter, jury, utställningskoordinatorn, ständig sekreteraren och alla övriga involverade vid Kungliga Akademien för de fria konsterna. Ert stöd och er generositet berör mig djupt och betyder oerhört mycket för min konstnärliga praktik – särskilt då jag nu, efter så många år, återvänder till just den plats där jag som ung, vid 14–15 års ålder, praktiserade och fattade beslutet att ägna mig åt en fri och reflekterande konstnärlig verksamhet.

Utställningsperioden är fastställd till 20 mars–1 maj 2027.

Varmt välkomna!

Jag önskar er alla ett gott nytt år!

Med många varma hälsningar,
Lena Mattsson
