Flat Octopus is an international artist- and curator-run collective in Stockholm, Sweden, started in 2019. Our name derives from our focus: curating exhibitions in flats, alongside collaborations with other artist-run initiatives.
At Juxtapose Flat Octopus recreates the safe, warm feeling of coming back home to your favourite armchair. Soft breeze is whispering in the pine branches behind the window as you ponder your questionable life choices and wait for the phone to ring.
In the installation are presented three artists: Bengt Jahnsson-Wennberg (SE), Alice Máselníková (CZ/SE) and Jesper Thour (SE).
Exclusively featured: IKEA STORÅ loft bed
Flat Octopus is supported by Stockholms stad and Kulturrådet.
Jesper Thour, Porträtt av minnen av träd (“Portrait of memories of trees”), oil and acrylic on canvas, ca 200 cm, 2021
