8 postcard books - 72 photos Scandinavia in a new perspective During the brightest time of the year, eight Scandinavian photojournalists jumped on separate trains and went on a collective interrail trip to explore Scandinavia. The result is a playful insight to Scandinavia today, presented in the form of eight postcard books. Seeking the familiar rather than the exotic, they went looking for stories in their own back yards: Sweden, Norway and Denmark.The eight photographers: Oddleiv Apneseth, Elin Berge, Johan Bävman, Pieter Ten Hoopen, Eivind H Natvig, Chris Maluszynski, Åsa Sjöström, and Knut Egil Wang formed new views of their home countries, sometimes challenging old stereotypes in the process. Letting their paths cross along the way, they explored and questioned their own ways of looking and telling stories as they for the first time worked side by side as photographers - making powerful use of their collective in working towards the common goal of the project. The result is a collection of photographic stories presented in the form of postcards from the road. A playful insight to Scandinavia today, signed Moment Agency.

<p>Svensk konsthistoria som ämne har varit i ständig förändring och expansion sedan de första professurerna i konsthistoria inrättades för drygt hundra år sedan. Konstmuseiväsendet utvecklades parallellt med den vetenskapliga grenen och gick från ett enda Nationalmuseum i Stockholm till flera regionala och lokala museer med konsten i blickpunkten som objekt och upplevelse.</p><p>I denna volym den första översikten på mer än tjugo år fördjupar sig skribenterna inte bara i förståelsen för ämnets tidiga formering utan undersöker ämnets nuvarande identitet och utveckling. De medverkande ger exempel på hur konstvetenskaplig forskning och undervisning bedrivits på lärosätena men också i helt andra miljöer som Svenska Institutet i Rom, Nationalmuseum eller Skissernas museum. Bokens 24 författare tillhör alla olika institutioner, forskningsfält och generationer och ger en mångfacetterad bild av det förflutna och det kommande.</p><p>Medverkande: Fred Andersson, Lars Berggren, Hans-Olof Boström, Hedvig Brander Jonsson, Claes Caldenby, Anders Dahlgren, Johan Eriksson, Linda Fagerström, Cecilia Hildeman Sjölin, Britt-Inger Johansson, Charlotta Krispinsson, Max Liljefors, Rebecka Millhagen Adelswärd, Anna Orrghen, Christina Pech, Ludwig Qvarnström, Henrik Ranby, Johanna Rosenqvist, Hans T.

<p>Welcome to Lilla Hyttnäs, home to two of the greatest artists Sweden has ever seen.  </p><p>When Carl and Karin Larsson moved back to Sweden after several years abroad, they were given a small cabin in Sundborn by Karin's father. The cottage in Dalarna became Carl's and Karin's joint art project where their artistic talents resulted in an unusually modern and personal architecture, coloring, and interior design. Through Carl's paintings, it has become one of the world's most famous homes. The light, Karin's free interior design style and the active family life, as depicted in Carl's beloved watercolors, have become synonymous with the image of Sweden.   </p><p>Now Lilla Hyttnäs is shown in a way it has never been seen before. With interesting texts that provide a historical context, and fantastic styling by Elsa Billgren, all admirers of the turn-of-the-century artists get the chance to discover Carls and Karins greatest work: their home.   </p><p>A HOME gives a unique insight into one of Sweden's most famous homes. With Carl and Karin Larsson's life and artistry in focus, lifestyle expert Elsa Billgren shows off the home and inspires you to create the same feeling in your own home.   </p><p>Carl &amp; Karin Larsson were active in Sweden at the turn of the century. Their artistry worked in strong symbiosis, in part through Karin creating the environments that Carl then depicted. The motifs from their home Lilla Hyttnäs in Sundborn have come to represent the image of Sweden and are loved worldwide.</p>
