The degree show at Bildmuseet is the culmination of a period of intensive work, research, and discussion. During the Master’s Programme in Fine Arts, the students have developed their artistic practice and explored the history and contemporary social relevance of art and its current themes and status. For you as a visitor, the exhibition offers insights into the discourse on contemporary art and studies of its techniques and materials.
