Matta, by Daniel Staaf invites audiences into a spatial environment not easy to read at first glance. The work gradually and increasingly reveals sophistication, as dancers Matilda Bilberg, Mikael Marklund, and Sarah Stanley build subtle shifts in rhythm, intimacy, and attention, culminating in a quiet dispersal that mirrors the work’s transient, sensory focus.

​It’s a thought-provoking idea that the graduate work of Freddy Houndekindo at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm puts forward: that practicing close-contact combat sports both affirms and “rejects” stereotypes of heteronormative masculinities. In our interview, he shares how, as a dancer, he had begun feeling a lack of agency over his own body, which led him back to combat sports and toward a new artistic path.

Mirer at the cinema Bio Aspen in Stockholm was never intended as an exhibition about film, even as moving images play an important role. While the body of work is eclectic, it is hoped that the works—some made specifically for the exhibition and its very particular site—are united by a sense of kinship that reflects Bio Aspen as a site of drama.
