House of Nisaba
New Stories of Painting
16.5 – 30.8 2026
Stockholm
“House of Nisaba” presents a return to allegory in contemporary figurative painting. Over twenty artists present new works in a site-specific environment created by the architects Formafantasma.
Allegory – long tied to shared iconographies from myth, religion and history – is today resurfacing in areas such as autofiction, mysticism, astrology, esotericism and science fiction. Invoking the Mesopotamian goddess of writing, “House of Nisaba” transforms the gallery into an immersive space where newly produced paintings make allegory a vital form for our divided contemporary world.
Curator: Hendrik Folkerts
