About Swedish Acquisitions: Insights
This is the first of two exhibitions featuring works from Moderna Museet’s major project for the acquisition of new art: “Swedish Acquisitions 2021”.
Meet some 30 artists explore subjects such as states of mind and bodily experiences. “Swedish Acquisitions: Insights” introduces artists whose practices are intertwined with everyday existence; their works portray difficult life events, the importance of home and the road to healing.
The exhibition covers sculptural media, painting, film and photography, but also performances and social manifestations.

About Swedish Acquisitions 2021
The major initiative Swedish Acquisitions 2021 was launched after the government allocated SEK 25 million to Moderna Museet to support the Swedish art sector in the wake of the covid-19 pandemic.
The project led to the acquisition of 373 new works made in 1962–2021 by a total of 169 artists.
