The artist will be on site presenting her work.

Residents of coastal cities around the world rely on public transport to reach nearby beaches. Artist Arianna Funk brings a beach atmosphere to the heart of Stockholm at Sergels torg with ¨Plattan Parasoller¨. Arianna draws inspiration from palm trees, the American East Coast, Southern European beaches, and Creamsicle ice cream, as well as traditional decorative weaving techniques such as passementerie. This site-specific work takes cues from Sergels torg itself, particularly the round, three-part windows that illuminate the covered passage to Sergelpassagen. The umbrellas offer a twist on this concept, providing shade on sunny days at Plattan.

 The site-specific work runs until September 14.

Open 24/7.
