Our former resident Roger Assar Johansson has composed the music for the world premiere of the dance performance ”Ellen’s Five Eternally Graceful Dances”. Gothenburg Art Museum, August, 26, 6 pm.

In dialogue with the exhibition ”Body: Ideals, Gaze, Freedom” at the Gothenburg Museum of Art , the living body emerges in real time. Accompanied by newly composed live music for vibraphone, glockenspiel, and piano, the dancer becomes a resonating space where the body is not represented—it happens.

This dance performance explores the dynamic between the static and the ephemeral. In the museum, where the body is presented through paintings and sculpture, a living body instead appears in real time—breathing, responding, and constantly changing. ”Ellen’s Five Eternally Graceful Dances” frees both dance and music from traditional dramatic structures, allowing them to unfold ”eternally” through open pathways. Within these, the ensemble moves freely, and each performance follows its own unique course. Here, ”graceful” becomes something living and fluid—a state of being rather than a fixed form. Set to newly composed live music, the performance creates an intense encounter in which the body is not represented—it happens.

Producer: Stagebird
Dance: Ellen Abrahamson
Choreography: Monica Milocco
Vibraphone and glockenspiel: Hans Hernqvist
Composition and piano: Roger Assar Johansson

Admission: Included with museum admission. Day ticket: SEK 75. Museum card: SEK 130/150. Free admission for students (with valid student ID) and visitors under 20.

Venue: Sculpture Hall.

With deep concern, we are following the devastating wildfires in the Fontainebleau region.

We are in close contact with our staff and guests at the Hôtel Chevillon in Grez-sur-Loing and are carefully monitoring the situation while following the guidance of the local authorities.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected. We are hoping that the more than 500 firefighters now battling the fires will soon bring the flames under control, preventing further destruction and easing the concern felt across the region.

We are delighted to announce the exceptional opening of the Hôtel Chevillon in Grez-sur-Loing on Sunday, 7 June 2026, as part of the Festival de l’Histoire de l’Art in Fontainebleau and its surrounding region.

From 2:30 pm to 5:00 pm, visitors are invited to explore our beautiful garden and artists’ studios, with resident artists present to welcome and meet the public.

At 3:30 pm, a guided tour of the historic interiors will offer a unique opportunity to discover the rich history of Hôtel Chevillon. To register, send a text message to 06 03 68 49 50.

Among the artworks on display is the portrait of Mme Chevillon by Fernande Sadler, generously on loan from the collection of the Mairie-Musée de Grez-sur-Loing (image 2).

Take this opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the historic Hôtel Chevillon, a gathering place for many members of the international artists’ colony that flourished in Grez-sur-Loing in the late 19th century. Among its notable visitors were the Swedish artists Carl and Karin Larsson, the American painters Alexander and Birge Harrison, and the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson.

Today, 173 years ago, on May 28, 1853, the Swedish painter Carl Larsson was born. He became one of the leading Scandinavian artists in Grez-sur-Loing and helped place the small French village firmly on the map in Swedish art history.

His self-portrait ”Self-Examination” (1906), holding a humorous puppet in his hand, reflects the duality of Larsson’s personality. Outwardly, he was known as highly social, witty, entertaining, and magnetic in company — a man who loved jokes and lively speeches. Yet beneath the surface, he carried an inner darkness, which also emerges in the painting as he seems to study and question himself with striking seriousness.

Also the time in Paris before arriving in Grez was marked by a difficult period of depression. But after being persuaded by his friend Karl Nordström to travel to Grez, Larsson later described the village as the turning point of his life: there he met Karin Bergöö, became engaged to her on the old bridge, and the couple’s first daughter was born in Grez… the rest is history!
