The degree show at Bildmuseet is the culmination of a period of intensive work and research. During the master’s programme, 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 of contemporary art, its techniques and materials.
In addition to their individual works in the degree show, the students this year have also created a collective work: a sculpture garden on the riverbank outside Bildmuseet. The exhibition’s title, After Tomorrow at Sunrise, refers to a line from Jarman’s sound poem and film Blue from 1993
